8. USING THE HOB

8.1 Cooking zones

The appliance has 4 cooking zones of different diameters and power. Their position is clearly indicated by circles and the intensity of the heat is defined by the markings on the glass surface. The 4 cooking zones are of the HIGH-LIGHT type and start heating a few seconds after being switched on. The intensity of the heat can be adjusted from minimum to maximum by means of knobs located on the front panel. Under each cooking zone is a coil (inductor) powered by an electronic system which creates a variable magnetic field. When a pan is placed within this magnetic field, the high frequency currents are directly concentrated onto the bottom of the pan, giving the necessary heat for cooking food.

The 4 lights located between the cooking zones come on when the temperature of one or more zones goes over 60°C. These go out when the temperature goes below about 60°C.

On first use, it is advisable to heat the hob to its maximum power for enough time to allow any oily production residues to burn off, the odour of which may otherwise be absorbed by foods.

8.1.2 Types of pans

 

 

 

 

This appliance requires special pans in order to function.

The pan bottom must be made from iron or steel to be able to generate the magnetic field necessary for heating.

Receptacles in the following materials are not suitable:

1glass;

2ceramic;

3terracotta;

4steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic base.

To check that the pan is suitable, place a magnet near the bottom: if it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If a magnet is not to hand, place a small amount of water in the pan, place it on the cooking zone and switch on the plate. If the symbol appears on the display instead of the power, this means that the pan is not suitable.

The pans used for cooking must have a minimum diameter to guarantee correct functioning.
