[. . . ] If the diameter of the pan is not the same as the diameter of the hotplate, it is preferable to use a pan with a bottom that is larger in diameter than the hotplate, otherwise half the energy will be wasted. Please note: Whether the cookware manufacturer has indicated the diameter of the top of the pan. Choose pans of a size suited to the amount of food you are going to cook. A large pan that is only half full will use a great amount of energy. Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves energy, and vegetables retain their vitamins and minerals. Select a lower power level. Environmentally-friendly disposal of waste products This appliance conforms to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive WEEE 2002/96/EC. This directive defines the framework for recycling used appliances within European territory Energy-saving advice Always place the correct lid on the pan. Cooking with an uncovered pan will result in a four-fold increase in energy use. Induction cooking Advantages of induction cooking Induction cooking represents a radical change from the traditional method of heating; the heat is generated directly in the pan. It therefore offers a number of advantages: Characteristics of the pan base The characteristics of the pan base may affect the uniformity of the cooking results. Pans made from materials which help diffuse heat, such as stainless steel sandwich pans, distribute heat uniformly, saving time and energy. 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. [. . . ] Within the next 10 seconds, press the D symbol and hold for 4 seconds. 5. Press the D symbol again and hold it for 4 seconds. The settings have been properly saved. Quit To leave the basic settings, turn off the hob at the main switch. TM, appears in the lower display. 3.
