REMAINING HEAT INDICATORS
When the temperature of a cooking zone is still hot, the relevant 
remaining heat indica- tor lights up on the display to alert you of the hot surface.
Avoid touching the hob surface over the cooking area. Please pay special attention to children.
When the 
is lit on the display, it is still possible to start cooking again; just operate the cooking zone as indicated in the chapter POWER IGNITION AND ADJUSTMENT OF A COOKING ZONE.
COOKWARE FOR INDUCTION COOKING
The induction cooking system OPERATES ONLY if using correct cookware suitable for induction cooking.
The bottom of the pan has to be ferromagnetic to generate the electromagnetic field ne- cessary for the heating process (meaning a magnet has to stick to the bottom of the pan).
Pans made from the following materials are not suitable:
■■ glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, stoneware;
■■ pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper without magnetic bottom.
To check if a pan is suitable or not:
■■ test the bottom of the pan with a magnet: if the magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.
■■ if a magnet is not available pour a small amount of water inside the pan and place the
pan on a cooking zone. Switch on the cooking zone: if the symbol 
(pan detection) appears on the cooking zone display (instead of the power level), the pan is not sui- table.
Important note: the cooking zones will not operate if the pan diameter is too small ( 
pan detection symbol will appear on the cooking zone display). To correctly use the cooking zones follow the indications given in the following table.
Induction cooking zone | Minimum pan diameter recommended | |
(referred to the bottom of the pan) | ||
| ||
Cooking zone Ø 160 mm | 110 mm | |
Cooking zone Ø 200 mm | 145 mm | |
Cooking zone Ø 250 mm | 180 mm |
Pay attention: The pan shall always be centred over the middle of the cooking zone. It is possible to use oversized pans but the bottom of the pan cannot touch other cooking zones.
Always use pans with thick, completely flat bottom.
Do not use pans with concave or convex bottom; these could cause overheating of the cooking zone.
Note: Some types of pans could cause noise when used on an induction cooking zone. The noise does not mean any failure on the appliance and does not influence the cooking operation.
