[. . . ] 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. Double or triple hotplate These hotplates can detect pans of different sizes. Depending on the material and properties of the pan, the hotplate will adapt automatically, switching on part or all of the hotplate and supplying sufficient power to obtain good cooking results. Time savings for cooking and frying; since the pan is heated directly. Foods that have spilt do not burn as quickly. Heat and safety control; the hob supplies or cuts off power immediately when the control knob is turned on. The induction hotplate stops supplying heat if the pan is removed without having previously switched it off. Suitable pans Ferromagnetic pans Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction cooking, these may be made from: enamelled steel cast iron special cutlery for stainless steel induction pan To determine whether a pan is suitable, check to see if a magnet will stick to it. Press the + or - symbol of the required hotplate and its Switching the hob on and off The hob is turned on and off using the main switch. The indicator above the main switch lights up. To turn off: press the % symbol until the indicator above the main switch disappears. The residual heat indicator stays lit until the hotplates have cooled off. Note: The hob switches off automatically when all the hotplates are switched off for more than 20 seconds. display lights up <. 2. In the following 10 seconds, press the + or - symbol. [. . . ] switching it back on. * If the warning persists call the Technical Assistance Service. Do not place hot pans on the control panel. Normal noise while the appliance is working Induction heating technology is based on the creation of electromagnetic fields that generate heat directly at the base of the pan. Depending on how the pan has been manufactured, these may produce certain noises or vibrations such as those described below: A deep humming sound as in a transformer This noise is produced when cooking on a high power level. It is caused by the amount of energy transferred from the hob to the pan. [. . . ]
