pans and cookware for induction
hobs.
Pans and cookware for induction cooking
zones must be made of ferrous mate-
rial such as cast iron and have magnetic
properties. The base must also be of the
correct diameter.
It’s important that good quality flat bot
-
tomed pans are used.
If a pan creates a large air gap over the
middle of the cooking zone, the accuracy
of the temperature sensing can be af-
fected.
Always ensure that pan bases are dry
before using them on the hob.
Get a magnet, if a magnet doesn’t stick to
your pan, it is not suitable for use on the
induction hob.
Beware:-
Not all induction pans are of
the same quality
due to their construc-
tion. Pans that use enamelled/laminated/
encapsulated bases can be difficult to de
-
tect, especially small pans (e.g milk pans)
This problem is not with induction hob but
with the pan type,
they can have bases
which are magnetic but are not thick
enough!
If you experience problems
with small pans we recommend that you
to try a larger pan or a pan of a different
construction. Solid cast iron pans give the
best performance.

pans unsuitable for Induction:
Pans made of copper, stainless steel, alu-
minium, oven proof glass, wood, ceramic
and terracotta.
overheat pan protection
The hob is equipped with additional safety
systems that help to prevent cookware
from overheating, providing an additional
level of safety not available on conven-
tional hobs such as gas and ceramic hobs.
Helps reduce the risk of fire through mis
-
use use of hob.
If there is an overheat situation the hob
will display the appropriate code detailed
in the “hob status codes table”.

note:-
The safety temperature control of the
pans is only possible with quality flat bot

tomed pans suitable for induction cook-
ing; Poor quality pans can create air gaps
between the glass and the pan, which
affects the accuracy of the temperature
control.
