COOKWARE FOR INDUCTION

The induction principle

A Inductor
Electronic board
Induced electric current

The principle of induction is based on a magnetic phenomenon.

When you place your cookware on a cooking zone and you turn it on, the electronic boards in your cooking hob produce "induced" currents in the bottom of the cookware and instantly raise its temperature. This heat is then transferred to the food, which is simmered or seared depending on your settings.

Cookware

Most cookware is compatible with induction.

Only glass, terra cotta, aluminium without a special finish on the bottom, copper and some non-magnetic stainless steels do not work with induction cooking.

We recommend that you select cookware with a thick, flat bottom. The heat will be distributed better and cooking will be more uniform.

WHICH COOKING ZONE SHOULD YOU USE BASED ON YOUR COOKWARE?

Cooking zone	Cookware to use
16 cm	10 .... 18 cm
18 cm	12 .... 22 cm
21 cm	18 .... 24 cm

Tip

To check the suitability of your cook

ware:

Place the vessel on a cooking zone at

power level 4.

If the display remains on, your cookware is compatible.

If the display flashes, your cookware cannot

be used with induction cooking.

VITROCERAMIC COOKWARE

Cookware

They must be designed for electric cooking. They must have flat bases.

Preferably use the following types of cookware:

• Stainless steel with thick trimetal or "sandwich" base.
• Aluminium with smooth, thick base.
• Enamelled steel

Use

A higher setting is necessary in the event of:

• abundant quantities
• cooking with uncovered cookware
• use of a glass or ceramic pot.
  A lower setting is necessary in the event of: - cooking food that tends to burn easily

(begin with a low setting, as it can be increased if necessary).
- overflow (remove the cover or the pot then lower the setting).

- Energy economy:

To end cooking, place on position 0, leaving the cookware in place to use the heat accumulated (this way you will save energy).
Use a cover as often as possible to reduce heat loss through evaporation.

Automatic cooking zone setting

The cooking zones set automatically, they switch on and off to maintain the selected power. This way, the temperature remains consistent and suited to the food you are cooking.

The setting frequency varies according to selected power.

Tip

Use cookware of appropriate

size.The diameter of the cookware base must be equal or superior to the printed zone

Warning

Remember to unlock your hob before

using it again (See the "Using the Child Safety Device" section).

SAFETY OF INDUCTION ZONES DURING OPERATION

- Residual heat

After intensive use, the cooking zone that you have just used can remain hot for several minutes.

An "H" is displayed during this period.

Avoid touching the hot areas during this time.

Warning

Do not touch glowing cooking zones, burn risk.

- Temperature limiter

Each cooking zone is equipped with a safety sensor that constantly monitors the temperature of the bottom of the cookware. In the event that an empty vessel is left on a cooking zone that is on, this sensor automatically adjusts the power output of the hob, thereby avoiding any risk of damage to the cookware or the hob.

"Small Items" safety

A small object (such as a fork, a spoon, a ring, etc.) left alone on the hob is not detected as a piece of cookware.

The display flashes and no heat is produced.

Warning

Several small objects together on a cooking zone may be detected as cookware.

If the display remains on: power may be supplied and the objects may be heated.

- Protection against overflows

The hob may shut down (with the adjacent symbol in the display) automatically in any of these three situations:

• Overflow that spills onto the touch controls.
• Damp towel placed over the touch controls.
• Metallic object placed on the touch controls.

Clean the hob or remove the object, then begin cooking again.

HOB SAFETY DURING OPERATION

- Auto-Stop system

If you forget to turn off a cooking zone, your hob is equipped with an "Auto-Stop system" safety measure that will automatically shut off the forgotten cooking zone after an amount of time pre-set at the factory (see the table below).

Power level used	The cooking zone automatically shuts off after
between 1 and 4	8 hours
between 5 and 7	2 hours
for 8 and 9	1 hour

In the event that this safety measure is triggered, the powering off of the cooking zone is indicated by an "A" displayed in the control panel. Simply pressing on any of the touch controls will cancel this display.

3 / DAILY CARE OF YOUR APPLIANCE

PROTECTING YOUR APPLIANCE

Avoid hard shocks from cookware: The vitroceramic glass worktop is very sturdy; however, it is not unbreakable.

Do not place any hot lids flat on your cooking hob. A suction effect may damage the vitroceramic surface.

Avoid dragging cookware across the surface, which may in the long-term result in the degradation of the decorative finish of the vitroceramic top.

Avoid placing cookware on the frame or cover (depending on the model).

Avoid using cookware with rough or bumpy bottoms: they can capture and transfer particles that may produce stains or scratches on your hob.

These defects that do not result in appliance malfunction or do not make it unsuitable for use are not covered by the warranty.

Do not store cleaning products or flammable products in the cabinet underneath your cooking hob.

Do not heat unopened canned goods; they may burst.

Of course, this precaution applies to all types of cooking.

Never use a sheet of aluminium for cooking. Never place items wrapped in aluminium foil or packaged in aluminium dishes on your cooking hob.

The aluminium will melt and permanently damage your cooking appliance.

Objects not intended for cooking should never be placed on the hob (risk of powering on, scratches, etc.).

Steam cleaning should never be used. The steam jet could damage your hob.
