Instructions for the user
4.3 Cookware suitable for use in induction cooking
The containers used on the induction cooking surface must be made of metal, with magnetic properties
and a sufficiently large base.
Use only cookware with bases suitable for induction hot plates.
Suitable containers Unsuitable containers
• Enamelled steel cookware with thick bases.
• Cast iron cookware with an enamelled base.
• Cookware in multilayer stainless steel, ferritic
stainless steel and aluminium with a special
base.
• Copper, stainless steel, aluminium, fireproof
glass, wood, ceramic and terracotta cookware.
To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a magnet close to the bottom: if it is attracted,
the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If you do not have a magnet, you can put a
small amount of water in the pan, place it on a cooking zone and start the hot plate. If
the symbol appears on the display, it means the pan is not suitable.
Use only cookware with a perfectly flat bottom. Using cookware with an irregular bottom could jeopardise
the efficiency of the heating system so that cookware is not detected on the hot plate.
4.4 Limiting the cooking duration
The hob has an automatic device which limits the duration of use.
If the cooking zone settings are not changed, the maximum duration of operation of each zone depends
on the power level selected.
When the device for limiting the duration of use is activated, the cooking zone turns off, a short alert is
sounded and if the zone is hot the symbol will show on the display.
However, the automatic switch-off function takes precedence over the limitation device; the cooking zone
only turns off after the time set for automatic switch-off has elapsed.

4.5 Protection from hob overheating
If the hob is used on full power for a long period, the electronics will have trouble cooling down if the
room temperature is high.
To avoid excessively high temperatures forming in the electronics, the power to the cooking zone is
reduced automatically.
If, during normal use of the hob in normal room temperatures, the code E2 appears frequently, this
means that cooling is probably insufficient. This may be caused by insufficient cooling slots or the lack of
appropriate screening. If necessary, check the installation.
