[. . . ] Cookware suitable for use in induction cooking Cookware used on the induction cooking surface must be made of metal, with magnetic properties and a sufficiently large base. Suitable cookware: • Enamelled steel cookware with thick bases. • Cast iron cookware with an enamelled base. • Cookware in multilayer stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel and aluminium with a special base. 31 EN Use Unsuitable cookware: • Copper, stainless steel, aluminium, fireproof glass, wood, ceramic and terracotta cookware. 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. If you do not have a magnet, you can put a small amount of water in the pan, place it on a cooking zone and start the hot plate. If the symbol appears on the display, it means the pan is not suitable. Limiting the cooking duration The hob has an automatic device which limits the duration of use. If the cooking zone settings are not changed, the maximum duration of operation for each zone depends on the power level selected. When the device for limiting the duration of use is activated, the cooking zone turns off, a short alert sounds and, if the zone is hot, the symbol appears on the display. Set power level 1-2 3-4 5-6 7 8 9 Maximum cooking duration in hours 8 6 5 3 2 1½ Protection from overheating Use only cookware with a perfectly flat bottom which is suitable for induction hot plates. Using cookware with an irregular bottom could jeopardise the efficiency of the heating system and prevent cookware from being detected on the cooking zone. If the hob is used on full power for a long period, the electronics will have trouble cooling down if the room temperature is high. Turn the knob anti-clockwise to the setting and release it. Select the required heating power (1 - 8) within 3 seconds. The selected power and the symbol will flash alternately on the display. The power level can be increased at any moment. The “maximum power” period will automatically be modified. Turn the knob to power level 9 to disable the heating accelerator. Then set the knob to the required heating level (1. . . 8). If the heating accelerator has been set to 9, turn the knob anticlockwise. Booster function The booster function allows you to activate the cooking zone at maximum power as long as 5 minutes. It can be used to bring a large quantity of water to a boil rapidly or to broil meat. [. . . ] Terminals 4 and 5 must be connected at all times. 38 Installation Fixed connection Fit the power line with an all-pole circuit breaker in compliance with installation regulations. The circuit breaker should be located near the appliance and in an easily reachable position. Connection with plug and socket Make sure that the plug and socket are of the same type. Avoid using adapters and shunts as these could cause overheating and a risk of burns. [. . . ]
