2. USE
● Cookware
Only use pots bearing this symbol.
Important:
to avoid permanent damage to the hob surface, do not use:
• cookware with a base that is not perfectly flat;
• metal cookware with an enamelled base;
• cookware with a rough base, to avoid scratching the hob
surface;
• never place hot pots and pans on the surface of the hob's
control panel.
• Not all induction pots work efficiently due to the base only
partially consisting of ferromagnetic material! When
purchasing pots or pans ensure that:
• the base is made entirely from ferromagnetic material. If
this is not the case, heat transmission and uniformity will be
less efficient, and the temperatures of the pot/pan surface
may not be suitable for cooking
• The base does not contain aluminium: the cookware does
not heat and may not be recognised by the inductors.
• Bases that are not flat or have rough surfaces.
• These lower the contact surface area between the
inductor and the cookware, reducing efficiency and
harming the cooking experience.
●Pre-existing cookware
You can check if the pot material is magnetic simply by
using a magnet. Pots are not suitable if they are not
magnetically detectable. The indications from the previous
paragraph also apply here.
● Recommended pot bottom diameters
IMPORTANT: if the pots are not of the correct size, the
cooking zones will not switch on. To see the minimum
pot diameters for each individual zone, consult the
illustrated section of this manual.
Please note: To preserve cooking performance and
product quality, the use of induction adapters is NOT
recommended.
● Energy saving
Use pots and pans with a bottom diameter equal to that of
the cooking zone; Use only pots and pans with flat bottoms;
- Where possible, keep the lid on pots during cooking;
Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with a minimal amount of
water to reduce the cooking time; Use the pressure cooker,
as it further reduces energy consumption and the cooking
time; Place the pot in the centre of the cooking zone drawn
on the hob.
