USE OF THE COOKING HOB To operate the panel of the hobs equipped with touch-controls, press the icons printed on its surface. On first connection to the electrical mains, an operating check will be carried out automatically and all the indicator lights will come on for a few seconds. Under each cooking zone there is a coil called an inductor which is powered by an electronic system and which creates a variable magnetic field. When a pan is positioned within this magnetic field, the high frequency currents are concentrated directly onto the pan producing the heat required for cooking the food. After use, switch off the hotplates using the controls described in paragraph "5. 3. 3 Switching off the hotplate". Never rely on the cookware detector. 5. 1 Operating power settings Below, we provide a table with the maximum power consumptions of the cooking zones that are on.

In fact, the pan must have an iron bottom to generate the magnetic field necessary for it to be heated up. Recipients made of the following are not suitable: 1 glass; 2 ceramics; 3 earthenware; 4 steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic bottom. To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a magnet close to the bottom: if it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction cooking. 5. 3. 5 Residual heat Each cooking zone is equipped with a residual heat warning device. After any zone is switched off, a flashing " "may appear on the display.
