In order to obtain good efficiency and adequate energy consumption, it is essential to use only
recipients that are suitable for electric cooking. The diameter of the base of the recipient must be
the same as the diameter of the outline of the cooking area. Energy is wasted if they do not
correspond.
The base of the recipient must be very thick and perfectly flat. It should also be clean and dry, as
should the glass on the hob.
Do not use cast iron pots or pots with a rough base, as they may scratch the surface.

For best cooking results and energy saving, only use cookware suitable for induction cooking. The
diameter of the base of the cookware must be the same as the diameter of the circle on the
cooking zone (section " 11.5"); if they do not match energy will be wasted.
The base of the cookware must be ferrous alloy or ferritic steel and perfectly flat. It must also be
perfectly clean and dry, as must the glass in the cooking zone.
Do not use pans with a rough, scratched or damaged base, as they may scratch the hob surface.
Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium sheets must not contact with the heating zones. These
may cause breaks or other alterations of the glass ceramic surface by cooling. Before cooking
sugary foods, it is advisable to treat the glass ceramic surface with a specific silicone-based
product to protect the hob surface from any burned-on food residue.
Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the vitroceramic hob.
Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on the vitroceramic hob.
Sand or other abrasive materials may damage the ceramic glass.
The glass may be scratched if pans are placed on top of abrasive residue. Scratches do not,
however, affect the operation of induction cooking.
