content Protecting the environment Unpack the appliance and dispose of its packaging in such a way that no damage is caused to the environment. Environmentally-friendly disposal of waste products This appliance conforms to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive WEEE 2002/ 96/ EC. This directive defines the framework for recycling used appliances within European territory Energy-saving advice ¦ Always place the correct lid on the pan. Cooking with an uncovered pan will result in a four-fold increase in energy use. ¦ Use pans equipped with a solid, flat bottom. Curved pan bases increase energy consumption. ¦ The diameter of the pan base must coincide with the diameter of the hotplate. This generally means the pan base diameter is greater than that of the hotplate. If the diameter of the pan is not the same as the diameter of the hotplate, it is preferable to use a pan with a bottom that is larger in diameter than the hotplate, otherwise half the energy will be wasted. Please note: Whether the cookware manufacturer has indicated the diameter of the top of the pan. ¦ Choose pans 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 great amount of energy. ¦ Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves energy, and vegetables retain their vitamins and minerals. ¦ Select a lower power level. Induction cooking Advantages of induction cooking Induction cooking represents a radical change from the traditional method of heating; the heat is generated directly in the pan. It therefore offers a number of advantages: ¦ Time savings for cooking and frying; since the pan is heated directly. ¦ Energy is saved. ¦ Care and cleaning are simpler. Foods that have spilt do not burn as quickly. ¦ Heat and safety control; the hob supplies or cuts off power immediately when the control knob is turned on. The induction hotplate stops supplying heat if the pan is removed without having previously switched it off. Suitable pans Ferromagnetic pans Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction cooking, these may be made from: ¦ enamelled steel ¦ cast iron ¦ special cutlery for stainless steel induction pan To determine whether a pan is suitable, check to see if a magnet will stick to it. Special induction pans There is another type of pan specially made for induction, the base of which is not entirely ferromagnetic. Check the diameter, since this could affect detection of the pan, as well as the cooking results. Unsuitable pans Never use pans made from: ¦ common thin steel ¦ glass ¦ earthenware ¦ copper ¦ aluminium Characteristics of the pan base The characteristics of the pan base may affect the uniformity 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. Absence of pan or unsuitable size pan and switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance Service. If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the power level displayed on the hotplate indicator will flash. Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the flashing. If this takes more than 90 seconds, the hotplate will switch off automatically. Empty pans or those with a thin base Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base. The hob 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 base of the pan could melt and damage the glass on the hob. In this case, do not touch the Pan detection Each hotplate has a minimum limit for detecting pans, which varies depending on the material of the pan being used. You should therefore use the hotplate that is most suitable for the diameter of your pan. Double or triple hotplate These hotplates can detect pans of different sizes. Depending on the material and properties of the pan, the hotplate will adapt automatically, switching on part or all of the hotplate and supplying sufficient power to obtain good cooking results. Familiarise yourself with the appliance These instructions for use are applicable to other hobs. On page 2 an overview of the models is provided, along with information on measurements. The control panel Control surfaces Pressing a symbol activates its corresponding function. Notes ¦ The settings will not change if several symbols are pressed at the same time. This enables the programming zone to be cleaned when food is spilt. ¦ Always keep the control surfaces dry. Moisture can affect proper functioning.
