Characteristics of the pan base

The characteristics of the pan base may affect the uniformity of 

the cooking results. Pans made from materials which help 

diffuse heat, such as stainless steel sandwich pans, distribute 

heat uniformly, saving time and energy.

Absence of pan or unsuitable size

If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is made of 

unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the power level 

displayed on the hotplate indicator will flash. Place a suitable 

pan on the hotplate to stop the flashing. If this takes more than 

90 seconds, the hotplate will switch off automatically.

Empty pans or those with a thin base

Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base. The 

hob is equipped with an internal safety system. However, an 

empty pan may heat up so quickly that the "automatic switch 

off" function may not have time to react and the pan may reach 

very high temperatures. The base of the pan could melt and 

damage the glass on the hob. In this case, do not touch the 

pan and switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has 

cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance Service.

Pan detection

Each hotplate has a minimum limit for detecting pans, which 

varies depending on the material of the pan being used. You 

should therefore use the hotplate that is most suitable for the 

diameter of your pan.
