This is normally greater than the diameter of the pan's base. ¦ Choose cookware of a size suited to the amount of food you are going to cook. A large pan that is only half full will use a lot of energy. ¦ Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves energy, and vegetables retain their vitamins and minerals. ¦ Select a lower power level. Induction cooking Advantages of induction cooking Induction cooking represents a radical change from the traditional method of heating; the heat is generated directly in the pan. It therefore offers a number of advantages: ¦ Time savings for cooking and frying; since the pan is heated directly. ¦ Energy is saved. ¦ Care and cleaning are simpler. Foods that have spilt do not burn as quickly. ¦ Heat and safety control; the hob supplies or cuts off power immediately when the control knob is turned on. The induction hotplate stops supplying heat if the pan is removed without having previously switched it off. Suitable pans Ferromagnetic pans Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction cooking, these may be made from: ¦ enamelled steel ¦ cast iron ¦ special cutlery for stainless steel induction pan To determine whether a pan is suitable, check to see if a magnet will stick to it. Other suitable cookware for induction There are other types of cookware especially made for induction whose base is not entirely ferromagnetic. When using large cookware on a smaller ferromagnetic zone, only the ferromagnetic zone heats up, so heat might not be uniformly distributed. Cookware with aluminium on the base reduce the ferromagnetic zone, so less heat may be supplied or be difficult to detect. For good cooking results, the diameter of the cookware's ferromagnetic area should match the size of the hotplate. If cookware is not detected on a hotplate, try it on the next smaller hotplate down. Unsuitable pans Never use pans made from: ¦ common thin steel ¦ glass ¦ earthenware ¦ copper ¦ aluminium Characteristics of the pan base The characteristics of the pan base may affect the uniformity of the cooking results. Pans made from materials which help diffuse heat, such as stainless steel sandwich pans, distribute heat uniformly, saving time and energy. Absence of pan or unsuitable size If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the power level displayed on the hotplate indicator will flash. Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the flashing. If this takes more than 90 seconds, the hotplate will switch off automatically. Empty pans or those with a thin base Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base. The hob is equipped with an internal safety system. However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the " automatic switch off" function may not have time to react and the pan may reach very high temperatures. The base of the pan could melt and damage the glass on the hob. In this case, do not touch the pan and switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance Service. Pan detection Each hotplate has a minimum limit for detecting pans, which varies depending on the material of the pan being used. You should therefore use the hotplate that is most suitable for the diameter of your pan. Familiarise yourself with the appliance These instructions for use are applicable to other hobs.
