When the hob is used for the first time, it should be heated to its maximum temperature for long enough to bum off any oily residues left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate foods with unpleasant smells.
TYPES OF PANS
This type of appliance can only operate with pans of special kinds.
The bottom of the pan must be iron or steel/iron to generate the magnetic field necessary for the heating processo Vessels made from the following materials are not suitable:
∙glass;
∙porcelain;
∙pottery;
∙steel, aluminium or copper without magnetic bottom;
To check that a pan is suitable, simply piace a magnet close to its bottom:
if the magnet is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If no magnet is to hand, put a little water in the pan, piace it on a cooking zone and switch it on. If the symbol appears on the display instead of the power, the pan is not suitable.
The pans used for cooking must have certain minimum diameters to ensure satisfactory operation.
Pans larger than the cooking zones can also be used, but it is important to ensure that the bottom of the pan does not touch other cooking zones, and that it is always centred over the perimeter of the cooking
Zone number | Pan minimum diameter |
1 | 90 mm |
2 | 140 mm |
3 | 110 mm |
4 | 140 mm |
5 | 90 mm |
Use only vessels specially designed for induction cooking, with thick, completely flat bottom; if these are not available, the pans used must not have crowned (concave or convex) bottom. (fig.16)
Pan present device
Each cooking zone is equipped with a "pan present" device, which ensures that cooking cannot start unless a suitable pan is present on the cooking zone and properly positioned.
If the user attempts to switch on the cooking zone with the pan not positioned properly or with a pan which is not of
suitable material, a few seconds after the zone is switched on the 
symbol will appear to warn the user that an error has been made.
Residual heat
Each cooking zone is equipped with a device which warns of residual heat. After any cooking zone is switched off, a flashing ‘H’ may appear on the display. This warns that the cooking zone concerned is stili very hot. Cooking can be restarted while the ‘H’ is flashing; proceed as described in point "3".
Locking-out the hob
When not in use, the hob can be "locked out" to prevent children from accidentally switching it on.
With the cooking zones off, turn the knobs of zones 1 and 2 to the left simultaneously until ‘’L’’ appear on the power display and then release the knobs.
To deactivate it, repeat the same procedure: the cooking zone displays will stop displaying the ‘’L’’, indicating that the cooking zone
Attention:
Take care not to spill sugar or sweet mixtures onto the hob during cooking, or to piace materials or substances which might melt (plastic or aluminium foil) on it; if this should occur, to avoid damage to the surface, tum the heating off immediately and clean with the scraper supplied while the cooking zone is stili warm. If the ceramic hob is not cleaned immediately, residues may form which cannot be removed once the hob has cooled.
Important!
Keep a close eye on children because they are unlikely to see the residual heat waming lights. The cooking zones are stili very hot for some time after use, even if they are switched off. Make sure that children never touch them.
