made of multi-layer (with correct mark

from a manufacturer).

• not correct: aluminium, copper,

brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.

Cookware is correct for an induction

hob if:

• some water boils very quickly on a

zone set to the highest heat setting.

• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of

the cookware.

The bottom of the cookware

must be as thick and flat as

possible.

Cookware dimensions

Induction cooking zones adapt to the

dimension of the bottom of the

cookware automatically to some limit.

The cooking zone efficiency is related to

the diameter of the cookware. The

cookware with a smaller diameter than

the minimum receives only a part of the

power generated by the cooking zone.

Refer to “Technical

information” chapter.

CAUTION!

Do not use cast iron pans,

potstones, earthenware, grill

or toaster plates.

Gas:

WARNING!

Do not put the same pan on

two burners.

WARNING!

Do not put unstable or

damaged pots on the burner

to prevent from spill and

injury.

CAUTION!

Make sure that the bottoms

of pots do not stand above

the control knob, otherwise

the flame heats the control

knob up.

CAUTION!

Make sure that pot handles

are not above the front edge

of the cooktop.

ENGLISH 17

CAUTION!

Make sure that the pots are

placed centrally on the

burner in order to get

maximum stability and to

get lower gas consumption.

CAUTION!

Liquids spilt during cooking

can cause the glass to break.

6.2 Diameters of cookware

Use cookware with

diameters applicable to the

size of burners.

Burner Diameter of

cookware (mm)

Rapid 180 - 220

Semi-rapid 120 - 220

6.3 The noises during

operation (for induction

cooking zones)

If you can hear:

• crack noise: cookware is made of

different materials (sandwich

construction).

• whistle sound: you the cooking zone

with high power level and the

cookware is made of different

materials (sandwich construction).

• humming: you use high power level.

• clicking: electric switching occurs.

• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.

The noises are normal and do not refer

to hob malfunction.

6.4 Examples of cooking

applications (for induction

cooking zones)

The relation between the heat setting

and the cooking zone consumption of

power is not linear. When you increase

the heat setting, it is not proportional to

the increase of the cooking zone

consumption of power. It means that the

cooking zone with the medium heat

setting uses less than a half of its power.

The data in the table is for

guidance only.

7. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

7.1 General information

• Clean the hob after each use.

• Always use cookware with clean

bottom.

• Scratches or dark stains on the surface

have no effect on how the hob

operates.

• Use a special cleaner applicable for

the surface of the hob.

• Use a special scraper for the glass.

• Wash stainless steel parts with water,

and then dry them with a soft cloth.

7.2 Pan supports

The pan supports are not

resistant to washing in a

dishwasher. They must be

washed by hand.

1. Remove the pan supports to easily

clean the hob.

Be very careful when you

replace the pan supports

to prevent the hob top

from damage.

2. After you clean the pan supports,

make sure that they are in correct

positions.

3. For the burner to operate correctly,

make sure that the arms of the pan

supports are aligned with the centre

of the burner.

7.3 Cleaning the hob

• Remove immediately: melted plastic,

plastic foil, sugar and food with sugar.

If not, the dirt can cause damage to

the hob. Take care to avoid burns. Put

the special scraper on the glass

surface at an acute angle and move

the blade on the surface.

• Remove when the hob is sufficiently

cool: limescale rings, water rings, fat

stains, shiny metallic discoloration.

Clean the hob with a moist cloth and

non-abrasive detergent. After

cleaning, wipe the hob dry with a soft

cloth.

• Remove shiny metallic

discoloration: use a solution of water

with vinegar and clean the glass

surface with a moist cloth.

• To clean the enamelled parts, cap

and crown, wash them with warm

soapy water and dry them carefully

before you put them back on.
