Pan recognition
Each induction cooking zone is fitted with a pan recognition
device: the cooking zone only provides heat in the
presence of a pan which is suitable for the cooking zone.
A blinking pan recognition indicator could signal:
- that the pan is made of unsuitable material, which is not
ferromagnetic,
- that the diameter of the pan is too small,
- that the pan has been removed.
Choose a pan whose diameter matches that of the cooking
zones, i.e. small pans are suitable for small cooking zones.
Controls lock
When the hob is in use, you can lock the control panel to
avoid any accidental changes to the settings (by children
or when cleaning, for example).
Just press the key, and the indicator light next to the
key comes on. To adjust the heating power or stop
cooking, just press key again and the indicator light is
turned off.
You will have to reselect the cooking zone to enable the
controls again.
Acoustic signal
An object (such as a saucepan or a lid, etc.) placed for
more than 10 seconds on the control zone or prolonged
pressure on the control zone could cause the beep to
sound.
• to stop the beep from sounding, remove the cause of
the malfunction, the hob is turned off.
• to re-enable the controls, turn the appliance back on.
Overheating protection device
Should your appliance's electronic components overheat,
the hob will turn off automatically and will come up on
the power level display. The letter will disappear as soon
as the temperature drops back down to an acceptable
level.
Safety cut out
If the user inadvertently forgets to turn off one or more
cooking zones, the corresponding control is automatically
put out of order after a given amount of time (see table
opposite).
To re-enable the controls, press key to turn the hob
off.
Once you press the key again, you can use the
appliance again.

What cookware to use
Given that induction only exists when the magnetic field is
sealed by a metallic recipient, the pan stops being heated
as soon as it is taken off the cooking zone.
Use cookware made of material which is compatible with
induction (ferromagnetic material). Cast iron,
enamelled steel or special induction stainless steel
saucepans are ideal. Copper, ceramic, earthenware, glass,
terracotta, aluminium and non magnetic stainless steel
cookware is incompatible with induction cooking. The
easiest way to find out whether the pan is suitable is
with a magnet. If the magnet is attracted by the pan bottom
and stays "stuck" to the same: the pan is made of
ferromagnetic material and can be used on your induction
hob.
We recommend you use pans with a very flat and thick
bottom and avoid at all costs all cookware with irregular
rough bases which could scratch the glass surface.
For best results, you should match the size of the cookware
to the diameter of the respective cooking zone, indicated
on the glass hob surface. This will ensure considerable
savings on energy and shorter cooking times.
