[. . . ] If a crack appears in the glass worktop, immediately disconnect your appliance to avoid the risk of electric shock. To do this, remove the fuses or use the circuit breaker. Do not use your hob until you have replaced the glass worktop. A cooking zone can remain hot for several minutes after use. [. . . ] This heat is then transferred to the food, which is simmered or seared depending on your settings. most cookware is compatible with induction. Only glass, terra cotta, aluminium without a special finish on the bottom, copper and some non-magnetic stainless steels do not work with induction cooking. We recommend that you select cookware with a thick, flat bottom. The heat will be distributed better and cooking will be more uniform. To check the suitability of your cookware: Place the vessel on a cooking zone at power level 4. if the display remains on , your cookware is compatible. If the display flashes, your cookware cannot be used with induction cooking. You can also use a magnet to test the cookware. If a magnet "sticks" to the bottom of the cookware, it is compatible with induction. Preferably use the following types of cookware: - Stainless steel with thick trimetal or "sandwich" base. The diameter of the cookware base must be equal or superior to the printed zone Do not leave an empty pan on a cooking. Do not leave a pan containing hot fat or oil unattended on a cooking zone. A higher setting is necessary in the event of: - abundant quantities - cooking with uncovered cookware - use of a glass or ceramic pot. A lower setting is necessary in the event of: - cooking food that tends to burn easily (begin with a low setting, as it can be increased if necessary). - overflow (remove the cover or the pot then lower the setting). To end cooking, place on position 0, leaving the cookware in place to use the heat accumulated (this way you will save energy). Use a cover as often as possible to reduce heat loss through evaporation. The cooking zones set automatically, they switch on and off to maintain the selected power. This way, the temperature remains consistent and suited to the food you are cooking. Use the button to select the cooking zone on which you would like to use the timer. If you press this button several times, a rotating symbol will show which cooking zone the timer is being used for. [. . . ] Never place items wrapped in aluminium foil or packaged in aluminium dishes on your cooking hob. the aluminium will melt and permanently damage your cooking appliance. Objects not intended for cooking should never be placed on the hob (risk of powering on, scratches, etc. Avoid hard shocks from cookware: The vitroceramic glass worktop is very sturdy; however, it is not unbreakable.
