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

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 and switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has

cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance Service.

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.
