4 USE OF THE COOKING HOB

4.1Cooking zones

The appliance features 4 cooking zones of different diameter and power. Their position is clearly indicated by circles and the heat given off is defined by the markings on the glass surface. The 5 cooking zones are of the INDUCTION type and come on after a few seconds of being activated. Heating intensity can be adjusted by means of the knobs located on the front panel from a minimum to a maximum.

Underneath each cooking zone there is a coil called an inductor, supplied with power by an electronic system, which generates a variable magnetic field. When a pan is placed inside this magnetic field, the high-frequency currents concentrate directly on the bottom of the pan and produce the heat needed to cook the foods.

The 4 signal lamps located between the cooking zones come on when the temperature of one or more of the heating zones exceeds 60°C. The lamps go off upon temperature dropping to below approximately 60°C.

When using for the first time, it is advisable to heat up the cooking hob to its maximum temperature for enough time so as to burn off any possible oily manufacturing residues, the smell of which could otherwise be absorbed by the food.

4.1.2Types 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 process.

Vessels made from the following materials are not suitable:

1.glass;

2.porcelain;

3.pottery;

4.steel, aluminium or copper without magnetic bottom;

To check that a pan is suitable, simply place 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, place 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. The table below states the minimum pan diameters for each cooking zone.
