[. . . ] If there is any liquid between the base of the pan and the hotplate this could generate steam pressure. Disconnect the appliance from the mains if the cooking hob is broken or cracked. Notify the After-Sales Service. Cracks in the hob The hotplate heats up but the visual indication does not work Risk of burns!Notify the After-Sales Service. Do not place metal objects on the induction hob Risk of burns! [. . . ] H During their cooking, food such as stews, soups, sauces or drinks may heat up too quickly without any indication, spilling out of the cookware. It is therefore advisable to heat this type of food gently, selecting a suitable power level and stirring the contents before and during cooking. 9 Induction cooking Advantages of induction cooking Induction cooking involves a radical change to the traditional method of heating, as the heat is generated directly in the pan. For this reason, it offers a number of advantages: H Greater speed in cooking and frying; as the pan is heated directly. H Reduced energy consumption H Cleaner and easier to use; spilt food does not burn as much on the hob. H Cooking control and safety; the hob supplies or cuts off the heat as soon as the controls are operated. The induction hotplate stops supplying heat if the pan is removed before the power has been switched off. Suitable pans Ferromagnetic pans Ferromagnetic pans are the only pans which are suitable for induction cooking. They can be made of: H enamelled steel H cast iron H specially designed cookware for induction cooking made from stainless steel. Special pans for induction cooking Other types of special pans are available for induction cooking, where the base of the pan is not entirely ferromagnetic. Check the diameter as this could affect the pan detection as well as the cooking results. To find out whether the pans are suitable, check that they are attracted to a magnet. The manufacturer will usually indicate if their pans are suitable for induction cooking. Checking pans using a magnet 10 Unsuitable pans Never use pans made from: H standard, high quality steel H glass H earthenware H copper H aluminium Characteristics of the base of the pan The characteristics of the base of the pan can affect the evenness of the cooking. Press the Ñ symbol until the beep sounds and the Ñ indicator lights up. Press the Ñ until the beep sounds and the Ñ indicator goes out. The childproof lock may be accidentally switched on and off if: water is spilt when cleaning, food is spilt or objects are resting on the Ñ symbol. To switch it off Please note: Switching the permanent childproof lock on and off Switching the permanent childproof lock on and off Use this function to permanently activate the childproof lock. See the section on Basic settings". 17 Switching the hob on Press the Ñ until the beep sounds and the Ñindicator goes out. The hob can now be used. The Powerboost Function Use this function to heat up the contents of the pan faster than by using the heat setting j. This function allows you to increase the maximum power level of the hotplate in use. Restrictions when using the Powerboost function All the hotplates have this function. The Powerboost function will be available provided the other hotplate is not working. (See figure) For example, if you want to activate this function on hotplate 1, number 2 must be switched off, and vice versa. If this hotplate is not off, the letter n and heat setting j will flash alternately in the hotplate indicator; then it will return to heat setting j without activating the function. On model 1, the Powerboost function can be activated on all the hotplates at the same time (see diagram). Model 3 Model 1 Model 2 18 It is activated as follows Follow the steps below: 1. The function has now been activated. It is deactivated as follows Follow the steps below: 1. [. . . ] Incorrect supply voltage, outside normal operating limits The hotplate has overheated and has switched off in order to protect the hob Please contact the local electricity board. {c/{d Wait until the electronic system has cooled down sufficiently before switching the hob back on. Do not rest hot pans on the control panel. Normal noises heard during appliance operation Induction heating technology is based on the creation of electromagnetic fields which enable heat to be generated directly in the base of the pan. Depending on the construction of the pan, these electromagnetic fields may produce certain noises or vibrations as detailed below: This noise is produced when cooking with high power levels. It is the quantity of energy transferred from the cooking hob to the pan which causes the noise. This noise is produced by pans which are composed of different superimposed materials. [. . . ]
