[. . . ] The induction hotplate stops supplying heat if the pan is removed before the power has been switched off. 10 Suitable pans Ferromagnetic pans Ferromagnetic pans are the only pans which are suitable for induction cooking. They can be made of: H enamelled steel H cast iron H specially designed cookware for induction cooking made from stainless steel. Special pans for induction cooking Other types of special pans are available for induction cooking, where the base of the pan is not entirely ferromagnetic. Check the diameter as this could affect the pan detection as well as the cooking results. To find out whether the pans are suitable, check that they are attracted to a magnet. The manufacturer will usually indicate if their pans are suitable for induction cooking. Never use pans made from: H standard, high quality steel H glass H earthenware H copper H aluminium Characteristics of the base of the pan The characteristics of the base of the pan can affect the evenness of the cooking. Pans which are made from heat-diffusing materials (such as "sandwich" pans made from stainless steel) distribute the heat evenly, saving time and energy. Checking pans using a magnet Unsuitable pans 11 No pan or incorrect size pan If no pan is placed on the hotplate, or the pan is not made of a suitable material or it is not a suitable size, the heat setting on the hotplate indicator will flash. Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the indicator flashing. If there is a delay of more than 90 seconds, the hotplate switches off automatically. Do not heat empty pans and do not use pans with thin bases. Although your hob is equipped with an internal safety system, empty cookware can heat up so quickly that the "automatic OFF" function does not have time to react and a very high temperature may be reached. The base of the pan could melt and damage the hob's glass surface. If this happens, do not touch the pan and switch off the hotplate. If it does not work after cooling, contact our After-Sales Service. Each hotplate has a minimum limit for pan detection which varies according to the material from which the pan being used is made. It is for this reason that you are recommended to use a hotplate which matches the diameter of the pan. These areas can detect pans of different sizes. The area will automatically adapt, depending on the pan material and its properties, activating only a single area or an entire area and supplying the right level of power for best cooking results. Empty pans or pans with a thin base Pan detection Double or triple hotplate 12 Getting to know your appliance The operating instructions are valid for a range of cooking hobs. After a certain time, the hotplate switches off. 15 Switching off the hotplate Turn the control to the left to position 0. The hotplate is switched off and the residual heat indicator is displayed. Cooking table Some examples are given in the following table. The cooking times depend on the type, weight and quality of the food being cooked. [. . . ] Wait a few seconds before connecting it again. If the indication continues, notify the Technical Assistance Service. Wait until the electronic system has cooled down sufficiently before switching the hotplate back on. If the indication continues, notify the Technical Assistance Service. [. . . ]
