CHOOSING UTENSILS FOR INDUCTION/CERAMIC ZONES
You should use high quality utensils to obtain good cooking results:
• PAN DETECTOR FOR INDUCTION ZONE
The pan detector is only fitted to hobs with induction zone.
When the hob is operating, the pan detector provides the advantage of automatically stopping
or starting the heat of the cooking zone in contact with or on removal of the pan. If therefore
offers energy savings.
If the cooking zone is used with a suitable pan* : the display shows the heat level.
* The induction needs pans compatibles so fitted with magnetic-bottomed, see table page 31.
If the cooking zone is used without a pan or with an unsuitable pan :
the display shows . The zone does not start. If no pan is detected after 10 minutes, the
starting operation is cancelled.
To stop the cooking zone, you must stop the hob normally, you cannot just remove
the pan.
IMPORTANT: the pan detector does not work as the hob on/off button.
CERAMIC ZONE
THE HIGH LIGHT ZONE : a metal conducting strip is uniformly distributed over the entire
surface area of the cooking zone. Effective in three seconds and is for regular uniform cooking,
but also sustained cooking.
• Use high quality utensils with flat and thick bottoms: a very flat bottom eliminates hot
spots causing food to stick, and the thickness of the metal gives excellent heat distribution.
_Make sure that utensil bottoms are dry: when you fill the container or use a pan straight
out of the fridge, for example, make sure that it is dry; this check will stop any dirt getting on
the cooking surface.
