Induction Ready Cookware POTS AND PANS OK NO Only use pots and pans made from ferromagnetic material which are suitable for use with induction cooktop: ■ Enameled steel ■ Cast iron ■ Stainless steel designed for induction cooking To determine whether a pot is suitable, a magnet may be used to check whether pots are magnetic. The quality and the structure of the pot base can alter cooking performance. Some indications for the diameter of the base do not correspond to the actual diameter of the ferromagnetic surface. Some pots and pans have only a part of the bottom in ferromagnetic material, with parts in another material that is not suitable for induction cooking. These areas may heat up at different levels or with lower temperatures. In certain cases, where the bottom is made mainly of non-ferromagnetic materials, the cooktop might not recognize the pan and therefore not switch on the cooking zone. To ensure optimum efficiency, always use pots and pans with a flat bottom that distributes the heat evenly. If the bottom is uneven, this will affect power and heat conduction. Empty pots or pots with a thin base Do not use empty pots or pans when the cooktop is on. Proper size of pot/pan base for the different cooking areas To ensure that the cooktop functions properly, use pots of a suitable minimum diameter. Always use the cooking zone that best corresponds to the diameter of the bottom of the pot. Place the pot making sure it is well centered on the cooking zone in use. Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) outside the area.

Adjust the setting in relation to the limits of the electrical system in your home as described in the following paragraph. NOTE: Depending on the power selected for the cooktop, some of the cooking zone power levels and functions (e.g. boil or quick reheating) could be automatically limited, in order to prevent the selected limit from being exceeded. To change the power level, turn your wall breaker power to the cooktop off for at least 60 seconds, then turn the power back on and repeat the steps above. If an error occurs during the setting sequence, the " " symbol will appear, and you will hear a beep. If this happens, repeat the operation. If the error persists, contact the After-Sales Service. To set the power of the cooktop: Once you have connected the device to the mains power supply, you can set the power level within 60 seconds. Press the timer "+" button for at least 5 seconds. The display shows . Press the " " button until the last power level selected appears. Use the "+" and "−" buttons to select the desired power level. The power levels available are: 4 kW, 6 kW, 7 kW - 9 kW, 11 kW. Confirm by pressing " " The power level selected will stay in the memory even if the power supply is interrupted. 5
