INDUCTION COOKING

Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, and efficient cooking
technology. It works by generating electromagnetic radiation
in a suitable pot, allowing food to cook without generating
direct heat on the glass surface. However, the surface may
become hot due to contact with the pot, which is completely
normal.
Important: Please note that induction hobs have a much
shorter heating time compared to conventional hobs.
Therefore, the cooking process must be continuously
monitored to avoid any incidents.
Cookware
Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction. Look
for the induction symbol on the packaging or the base of the
pot.
Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable
for induction: Pure stainless steel, Aluminium or copper
without a magnetic base, Glass, Wood, Porcelain, ceramic,
or earthenware.
You can check whether your cookware is suitable for
induction by performing a magnetic test (FIG.2):
1. Place a magnet against the base of the pot.
2. If the magnet sticks, the pot is suitable for induction
cooking.
If you do not have a magnet:
1. Pour water into the pot you wish to test.
2. If the " " symbol does not flash on the display and
the water starts heating, the pot is suitable for
induction.
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or curved bases.
Ensure that the pot's base is smooth and lies flat on the
glass surface.(FIG.3)
For maximum efficiency, use pots that match the size of the
cooking zone (the diameter should align with the zone's
graphic) and place them in the centre. Note that small pots,
with a diameter of less than 14 cm, may not be detected by
the hob. (FIG.4)
Importante: Always lift pots off the cooking surface! Do not
slide or drag them to avoid damaging the glass and causing
friction marks or scratches. Ensure that the bottom of the
pot and the cooking zone surface are clean and dry.(FIG.5)
Scratches caused by dragging pots do not affect the hob's
functionality. They are part of normal use and do not
constitute grounds for a claim.
Importante: Never place a pan over the extractor suction
area, fully or partially covering it. This could damage the fan.
(FIG.6)
For optimal smoke and vapour extraction, use a slightly ajar
lid positioned towards the suction area when using
cookware that is taller than 12 cm. Do not place pots far
from the suction zone and ensure that their handles do not
block the airflow. (FIG.6)
Important: Never place a pan on the control area. This
could cause the appliance to malfunction or damage the
controls.

Noises
Induction hobs may produce different noises during use
depending on the type of cookware used and the power
levels applied:
• Crackling: These noises are usually caused by the
pans and the different materials used in their
construction. The base of the pan consists of
different materials that expand at varying speeds as
they heat up.
• Clicking: These noises typically occur due to the
electronic components of the appliance turning on
and off.
• Whistling: This may occur when one or more
cooking zones operate at high power or when the
cookware is made of different materials.
• Humming: These noises may be generated when
selecting a high power level, such as the Boost
function. Noises related to high power levels reduce
as the pans reach the desired temperature and the
power level decreases.
• Whistling/humming when the hob is off: These
noises are usually heard when the cooling fan for
the electronics is in operation during or after use
and disappear once the internal temperature is
correct.

ENERGY CONSUMPTION

Cooking zone
Fan
Total nominal power
The indicated power may vary depending on the size and
material of the cookware.
If your electrical installation has insufficient power supply,
you can limit the device's total energy consumption by
following the instructions in the "Power Management"
section.
Important: There are 10 power levels for the cooking
zones and 6 power levels for the extractor.
