2.3 Working Theory
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology. It
works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the pan, rather than
indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because the pan
eventually warms it up.
2.4 Before using your new Hob
Read this guide, taking special note of the 'Safety Warnings' section.
•
Remove any protective film that may still be on your hob.

Operation of Product
3.1 Touch Controls
The controls respond to touch, so you don't need to apply any pressure.
•
Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
•
You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
•
Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g. a utensil
•
or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to
operate.
3.2 Choosing the right Cookware
Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look
•
for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the
pan.
You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out a
•
magnet test. Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is
attracted, the pan is suitable for induction.
If you do not have a magnet:
•
Put some water in the pan you want to check.
