Make sure the base of the pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass and is the same size as the cooking
zone. Use pans with a diameter as large as the graphic of the zone selected. Using a pot slightly wider
will result in the energy used at its maximum efficiency. If you use a smaller pot the efficiency could be
less than expected.
Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
Always lift pans off the induction hob – do not slide as they may scratch the glass.

Cookware bases with aluminium content
These reduce the ferromagnetic area, which means that less power is emitted to the
cookware. This cookware may not be sufficiently detected or may not be detected at all, and
therefore does not heat sufficiently.
Pan manufacturers specify if their products are compatible with induction appliances.
To check if pans are compatible:
Put a little water in a pan placed on an induction heating zone set at level [9]. This water must heat in
a few seconds.
A magnet sticks on the bottom of the pan.
If you do not have a magnet:
1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.
2. If
does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
