Protecting the environment

Unpack the appliance and dispose of its packaging in such a

way that no damage is caused to the environment.

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.

This appliance is labelled in accordance with European

Directive 2012/19/EG concerning used electrical and

electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic

equipment - WEEE). The guideline determines the

framework for the return and recycling of used

appliances as applicable throughout the EU

Energy-saving advice

Always use the correct lid for each pan. Cooking without a lid

■

uses a lot more energy. Use a glass lid to provide visibility

and avoid having to lift the lid.

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 as

■

soon as 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 cookware

Only ferromagnetic cookware is 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.

Use pans with flat bases. Bases that are not flat use a lot

■

more energy.

The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the

■

hotplate. If the diameter is too small compared to the

hotplate, energy can be wasted. Please note: pan

manufacturers usually provide the diameter for the top of the

pan, which is usually larger than the diameter of the pan

base.

Use a small pan for small amounts of food. A large pan which

■

is not full uses a lot of energy.

Use little water when cooking. This saves energy and

■

preserves all the vitamins and minerals in vegetables.

Always cover as much of the hotplate as possible with the

■

pan.

Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If the

■

power level is too high, energy is wasted.

Other cookware for induction

There are other types of cookware especially made for

induction cooking whose base is not entirely ferromagnetic.

Unsuitable pans

Never use diffuser hobs or 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.

When using large cookware on a

smaller ferromagnetic area, only

the ferromagnetic zone heats up,

so heat might not be uniformly

distributed.

Pans with aluminium areas

inserted in the base reduce the

ferromagnetic area, so less heat

may be supplied and the pan

may be difficult to detect or not

be detected at all.

For good cooking results, the

diameter of the cookware's ferro-

magnetic area should match the

size of the hotplate. If cookware

is not detected on a hotplate, try

it on the next smaller hotplate

down.
