Use
The induction cooking system is
based on the physical phenomenon
of magnetic induction. The main
characteristic of this system is the
direct transfer of energy from the
generator to the pot.
Advantages: When compared to
electric hobs, your induction hob is:
• Safer: lower temperature on the
glass surface.
• Faster: shorter food heating
times.
• More accurate: the hob immedi-
ately reacts to your commands
• More efficient: 90% of the ab-
sorbed energy is transformed
into heat. Moreover, once the pot
is removed from the hob, heat
transmission is immediately in-
terrupted, avoiding unnecessary
heat losses.

2.1 Cooking containers
Use only pots bearing the
symbol
Important: to avoid permanent
damage to the hob surface, do not
use:
– containers with less than perfectly
flat bottoms.
– metal containers with enamelled
bottoms.
– containers with a rough base, to
avoid scratching the hob surface.
– never place hot pots and pans on
the surface of the hob's control
panel
2.1.1 Pre-existing containers
Induction cooking uses magnetism
to generate heat. Containers must
therefore contain iron. Check if the
pot material is magnetic using a
magnet. Pots are not suitable if they
are not magnetically detectable.
2.1.2 Recommended pan bottom
diameters
Important: If the pots are not cor-
rectly sized, the cooking zones will
not turn on. For details of the mini-
mum pot diameter that needs to be
used on each zone, see the illus-
trated part of this manual.
