NOTE
•
Cookware appropriate for induction cooking is labelled as suitable by the
manufacturer.
•
Certain cookware can make noises when being used on induction cooking
zones.
•
These noises do not indicate that the hob is malfunctioning and do not affect
its operation in any way.
•
Special stainless-steel cookware may not be suitable for induction cooking.
Check if the base of the cookware is attracted by a magnet.
Cookware sizes for induction cooking zones
Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the bottom size of the cookware
up to a certain limit. However, the magnetic part of the bottom of the cookware
must have a minimum diameter depending upon the size of the cooking zone.
For best results, use cookware whose ferromagnetic diameter match that of a
burner. If the cookware is not sensed by the burner, try a bigger sized burner.
NOTE
For Cookware diameter, please refer to the model’s Cooking zones specifications.
Cookware
Use flat-bottomed cookware that completely
contacts the entire cooking zone. Check
for flatness by rotating a ruler across
the bottom of the cookware. Be sure to
follow all the recommendations for using
cookware.
•
Use cookware made with the correct material for induction cooking.
•
Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat distribution. This
gives best cooking results.
•
Match the cookware size to the quantity of food being prepared.
•
Do not let cookware boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form
of breakage, fusion, or marring that can affect the ceramic hob. (This type of
damage is not covered by your warranty).
•
Do not use dirty cookware or cookware with heavy grease buildup. Always
use cookware that is easy to clean after cooking.
CAUTION
•
The cooking zones may appear cooled down after they have been turned off.
However, the glass surface may be hot from residual heat transferred from the
cookware. The risk of burns is still present.
•
Do not touch hot cookware directly with your hands. Always use oven mitts or
pot holders to protect your hands from burns.
•
Do not slide cookware across the hob surface. Doing so may permanently
damage the hob.
