In all cases, it should be disregarded.7

3.2 Induction theory

Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efcient, and economical cooking technology. It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the pan, rather than indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because the pan eventually warms it up. Iron pot Magnetic circuit Glace plate Induction coils Induced currents8

3.3 Choice of cookware

Most cookware is compatible with induction. Only glass, terracotta, aluminium without a special base, copper and some non-magnetic stainless steels do not work with induction cooking. We suggest that you choose cookware with a thick, at bottom. The heat will be distributed better, and cooking will be more uniform. Note : Never leave an empty pan to heat unattended. Note : Avoid putting cookware on the control panel.

There are several cooking zones available. Select one which is suitable, based on the size of the pan. If the base of the cookware is too small, the power indicator will start to ash and the cooking zone will not work, even if the cookware’s material is recommended for induction. Refer to here under table.

3.5 Switching on/off

For switching on a zone press the general on/off key (a). « 0 » ashes in each zone for 5 secondes. If no pan is detected, select a zone (c). If a pan is detected, the «0» will be displayed and the other zones will be switched off. You can then set the power level. The cooking area heats up automatically. For switching of a zone : Press and hold the key for zone (c). A long beep sounds and the display goes off or an «H» appears (residual heat indicator). Press the On/Off key (a) to switch off the hob completely. Zone diameter (mm) Minimum pot diameter (mm) maximum pot diameter (mm)

3.10 Safety recommandation

Residual heat After intensive use, the cooking area you have just used will remain hot for several minutes. An «H» is displayed during this time. So, avoid touching the zones concerned. Temperature limiter Each cooking area is tted with a safety sensor that continuously monitors the temperature of the bottom of the pan. In case that an empty pan is left on a zone that is switched on, the sensor automatically adapts the power delivered by the hob and limits the risk of damaging the cookware or the hob. Spillage protection The hob may be switched off in the following three cases:

• A spillage in the touch key area.

• Damp cloth placed over the touch keys.
