b) Before Using for the First Time

• Unpack the machine and remove all the paper and plastic. Make sure no pieces of packaging remain on the parts of the machine.
• Before using the induction cooker for the first time, it is wise to ensure that it is at least 10 centimetres from all walls, partitions or flammable materials (curtains, drapes, etc.).
• Then plug the cooker into a 10 ampere (minimum) earthed socket. If the use of an extension lead proves to be indispensable make sure that it is in good condition and compliant. Your machine must rest on a clean, horizontal, flat, stable surface that is heat-resistant, Do not move the machine when it is operating.
• When using the machine you may hear a slight noise which is due to a very slight vibration of the pan at high frequency. This is normal and is not a source of danger.

c) Compatible and Incompatible Pans

Compatible pans must be used. In order to determine whether your pans are compatible or not you just need to use a magnet. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan this means that your pan is compatible with induction cookers.

You can also refer to the diagram below showing compatible pans:

The compatibility of these pans refers to tests performed on pans containing stainless steel 430 with a base of 180 +/- 10 mm. Other cooking utensils do not guarantee results of equivalent quality.

Pans in aluminium, copper, ceramic, glass or aluminium alloy must not be used with this machine, as well as those with a diameter of less than 12 cm or more than 26 cm.
