Suitable pans

When using non-stick pans, do not use level 9 or Power, as the non-stick coating may be damaged by the high induction heat.

·The induction hob can only be turned on when a cooking utensil with a magnetic base is placed on one of the zones. You can use the following utensils:

·Pans marked as suitable for induction.

·Cast iron pans. Make sure the base is smooth. A rough base could scratch the ceramic hob.

·Enamelled steel pans. Make sure the enamel is suitable for use on

ceramic surfaces. Some enamels can scratch the ceramic hob.

You can test whether your pans are suitable by placing a magnet on their base. If the magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.

Unsuitable pans

Pans made of aluminium, copper, brass, glass, porcelain and steel and which do not have a magnetic base.

Size of pans

The zones automatically adapt their size to the base of the cooking uten- sil, within certain limits. The pans must have a definite minimum size, which will depend on the diameter of the zone, otherwise the zone will not turn on.

Small zone: Ø 14 cm.

Base of cooking utensil min: Ø 10 cm.

Large zone: Ø 21 cm.

Base of cooking utensil min: Ø 18 cm.

Check the base diameter when buying, as pan manu- facturers often give the diameter of the top edge of the pan.
