Never use the cooktop as a working surface or for setting things down. . Overheated cookware: Avoid heating pots or pans that are empty. . Hot cookware: Never set down hot pans and pots on the control panel or frame. This may cause damage. . Hard and sharp objects: Hard or sharp objects falling on the cooktop may damage it. . Boiled-over food: Sugar and products containing sugar may damage the cooktop. Immediately eliminate spills of these products with a glass scraper. . Foils and plastics: Aluminum foil and plastic will melt on the hot cooking zones. Stove protective film isn't suitable for your cooktop. . Unsuitable cleaning agent: Shimmering metallic discolorations on the glass ceramic surface result from the use of inappropriate cleaning agents and abrasion from cookware. Protecting the environment Energy-saving advice . Always place a fitting lid on cookware. Cooking with an uncovered pan will result in a four-fold increase in energy use. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid. . Use cookware equipped with a solid, flat bottom. Curved pan bases increase energy consumption. . The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the element. If not, energy may be wasted. Note: The manufacturer normally indicates the pan's upper diameter. This is normally greater than the diameter of the pan's base. . Choose cookware 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 lot of energy. . Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves energy, and vegetables retain a larger percentage of their vitamins and minerals. . Select a lower power level. Cooking by induction Advantages of induction cooking When cooking with induction, heat is generated directly in the base of the pan. This provides many benefits for you: . Time saving when boiling and frying. Cookware is heated directly. . Less energy is consumed. . Easy cleaning and maintenance. Spilled food does not burn onto the cooktop so quickly. . Controlled supply of heat and increased safety. The burner reacts immediately to any power change, so heating can be dosed precisely. Heating is interrupted when you remove the cookware from the burner even if the burner is still switched on. Cookware Only ferromagnetic cookware made of the following materials is suitable for induction cooktops: . Enameled steel . Cast iron . Induction-capable cookware of stainless steel. To determine whether the cookware is suitable, check whether the base of the pot or pan attracts a magnet. There are other induction-capable pots and pans whose bases are not completely ferromagnetic. If the base of the cookware it not completely ferromagnetic, only the area that is magnetizable will get hot. Thus it can happen that the heat is not distributed evenly. If the base of the cookware is made from aluminum, among other things, the ferromagnetic area is also reduced. It can be that this cookware will not become truly hot or it may not be detected at all. To get good cooking results, we recommend that the diameter of the ferromagnetic area of the cookware match the size of the burner. If a pot or pan is not detected on a burner, try it again on a burner with a smaller diameter. Unsuitable cookware Do not ever use adapter plates for induction or cookware made of: . Traditional stainless steel . Glass . Clay . Copper . Aluminum Characteristics of the pan base The characteristics of the pan base can influence the evenness 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. No pan or improper size If no pan is placed on the selected element, or if it is made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the power level displayed on the element indicator will flash. Place a suitable pan on the element to stop the flashing. If you take longer than 90 seconds to place a suitable pan on the element, it will automatically turn off. Empty pans or pans with a thin base Do not heat up empty pans, or use pans with a thin base. The cooktop 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 pan base could melt and damage the cooktop glass. In this case, do not touch the pan and switch the cooktop off. If the cooktop fails to work after it has cooled down, please contact the technical service. Pan detection Each element has a minimum limit for detecting pans, which varies depending on the material of the pan you are using. You should therefore use the element that best matches the diameter of your pan. Automatic detection on double or triple cooking elements These elements can detect different pan sizes. Depending on the material and properties of the pan, the element will adapt automatically, and will turn on single zone or the entire element, supp...
