Operating the induction cooktop

How induction works
An induction coil is located under each
burner. When a burner is turned on, this
coil creates a magnetic field that
impacts directly on the base of the pan
and heats it up. The burner itself is
heated up indirectly by the heat given
off by the pan.
You will require cookware with a
magnetic base (see “Cookware”).
Induction automatically recognizes the
size of the cookware.
In the burner indicator, the  symbol will
flash alternately with the selected power
level if:
- The burner has been turned on
without cookware in place, or if the
cookware is unsuitable (dishware
with non-magnetic base).
- The base diameter of the cookware
used is too small.
- The cookware is removed from a
burner that is on.
If suitable cookware is placed on the
burner within 3minutes, the symbol
goes out, and you can continue as
usual.
If no or unsuitable dishware is used, the
burner will automatically turn off after
3minutes.
 Danger of burning!
When the cooktop is turned on
inadvertently or by mistake, or when
there is residual heat present, there
is a risk of the metal items heating
up.
Do not store items on the cooktop.
Turn off the burners after use by
turning the corresponding burner
control knobs counterclockwise to 0.
Cookware
Suitable cookware is made of:
- stainless steel with a magnetic base
- enameled steel
- cast iron
Unsuitable cookware is made of:
- stainless steel without a magnetic
base
- aluminum or copper
- glass, ceramics, earthenware,
stoneware
To test whether a pot or pan is suitable
for use on an induction cooktop, hold a
magnet to the base of the pan. If the
magnet sticks, the dishware is suitable.
If unsuitable cookware is used, the
symbol will flash alternately with the
selected power level in the burner
indicator.
