Note:
Please note the diameter of the pan base when buying new pans,
since the manufacturers usually specify the top edge diameter of their
pans.
Automatic Pan Sensing
The induction cooking zone does not function when unsuitable pans
are used.

with faults in the electronics the display _ is lit. The cooking zone
switches itself off automatically.
To be able to use it again the cooking zone must have been first

Pots and pans for rapid-glowing standard cooking zones
• On principle all pots and pans with level bases are suitable for radiant
heat cooking zones. You can recognise good quality pans by the base
of the pan, and not from the material from which the pan is made.
• The base should be as thick and flat as possible. Rough bases (e.g. cast
iron pots) scratch the hob surfaces when they are slid about.
• Pots with aluminium or copper bases can cause metallic discolouring
on the ceramic glass surface, which is very difficult or impossible to
remove.
• The saucepan base and cooking zone should be the same size.
1 Attention! Avoid letting enamel saucepans and frying pans boil dry.
The base could be damaged and then scratch the cooking surface when
slid. Saucepans and frying pans with sharp edges and burrs will also
scratch.
