Operation

4.1 Appropriate cookware

The induction hotplate will function perfectly only if an appropriate pot is used.
• The pot should be in the middle of the hotplate during cooking.
• The appropriate pot is the one which enables induction, for example steel,
enamel or steel alloy. Pots made from steel alloy with copper or aluminium
bottom or glass pots are unsuitable.
• It is preferable to use pans with unglazed bottoms, since an enamelled bottom
can damage the glass-ceramic surface.
• If you use a pressure pot, keep it under close surveillance until proper
pressure is obtained. Hotplate should first operate on maximum power, then
follow the manufacturer's instruction.
When buying cookware, check if it bears the laber "allows induction".
Note: When Bridge function is selected, you can use the created zone in different ways, with one
or two pots. If you use larger pots than the recommended maximum size, the heating time will be
longer, because the heating will propagate from center to edges of the pot by conduction; in this
case also the temperature will be very inhomogeneous.
Magnet test
Use a small magnet A to test if the pot's bottom is magnetic. Only pots where the
magnet sticks to the bottom are suitable.
Cookware recognition
One of the great advantages of the induction hotplate is cookware recognition. When
the hotplate is on, the power indicator displays
within the following 10 minutes, the hotplate recognizes it and turns on the pre-set power value. At the
moment you remove the cookware from the hotplate, power is suspended. If you place a smaller pot upon
the hotplate and it is recognized, the hotplate will only use the amount of energy required to heat it
according to its size.
The hotplate may be damaged if:
• An empty cookware is heated up.
• You don't use the appropriate pots.
• You use clay pots which leave scratches on the glass surface.
• You don't wipe the pot bottom.
The use of bad quality cookware or any adapter for non-magnetic cookware invalidates product
warranty. In this case, the manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused to
the appliance and/or objects close to the same.
