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:
■
Suitable pans
Ferromagnetic pans Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction cooking, these may be made from:
■ ■ ■
Time savings for cooking and frying; since the pan is heated directly. 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.

To determine whether a pan is suitable, check to see if a magnet will stick to it.

Other suitable cookware for induction There are other types of cookware especially made for induction whose base is not entirely ferromagnetic. When using large cookware on a smaller ferromagnetic zone, only the ferromagnetic zone heats up, so heat might not be uniformly distributed. Cookware with aluminium on the base reduce the ferromagnetic zone, so less heat may be supplied or be difficult to detect. For good cooking results, the diameter of the cookware's ferromagnetic area should match the size of the hotplate. If cookware is not detected on a hotplate, try it on the next smaller hotplate down. Unsuitable pans Never use pans made from:

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 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. Use only cookware suitable for induction cooking; see the "Suitable cookware" section.
Residual heat indicator
The hob has a residual heat indicator for each hotplate to show those which are still hot. Avoid touching a hotplate that displays this.
Even when switched off, the œ/• light will remain on as long as the hotplate remains hot. If the pan is removed before the hotplate is turned off the œ/ • indicators and the selected power level will appear alternately.
Programming the hob
This section will show you how to program the hotplates. Press the + or - symbol of the required hotplate and its
Switching the hob on and off
The hob is turned on and off using the main switch. To turn off: press the % symbol until the indicator above the main switch disappears. The residual heat indicator stays lit until the hotplates have cooled off. Note: The hob switches off automatically when all the hotplates are switched off for more than 20 seconds.

Set the hotplate
Select the required power level with the + and - symbols. To change the power level, press the + or - symbol until the
required power level appears.
Turning off the hotplate Press the + or - symbol until ‹ appears. Note: If no pan has been placed on the induction hotplate, the selected power level flashes. After a certain time, the hotplate switches off.
