material which are suitable for use with induction hobs:
• enamelled steel
• cast iron
• special pots and pans in stainless steel, suitable
for induction cooking
To determine whether a pot is suitable, check for the
stamped on the bottom). A magnet may be used to check whether pots are
magnetic.
The quality and the structure of the pot base can alter cooking performance.
Some indications for the base's diameter do not correspond to the actual
diameter of the ferromagnetic surface.
We do not recommend the use of diffuser plates or materials such as fine
steel, aluminum, glass, copper, or clay.
Each cooking zone has a minimum pan detection time. This depends
on the material and the ferromagnetic diameter of the base of the pan.
Therefore it is essential to use the cooking zone that best matches the
diameter of the base of the pan to be used.
If the pan is not detected on the selected cooking zone, try using the
next smallest zone. When the FlexiCook is used as a single cooking zone,
larger pans suitable for this type of zone.
Some pans without a complete ferromagnetic base are sold as suitable
for induction. In these pans, only the ferromagnetic base is heated.
Consequently the heat is not evenly distributed across the base of the
pan. This may mean that the non-ferromagnetic part of the base of the
pan does not reach the right cooking temperature.
Other pans, with aluminum inserts in the base have a smaller area of
ferromagnetic material In this case, it may be difficult or even
impossible to detect the pan. In addition, the power supplied may be
lower and, consequently, the pan will not heat up correctly.
The type of base used on the pan may affect the uniformity and results
of the cooking. Pans with a stainless steel "sandwich" base use materials
that assist the uniform distribution and diffusion of the heat, resulting in
savings in time and energy.
The base of the pan must be completely flat, thus ensuring a uniform
power supply.
Never heat empty pans, or use pans with a thin base, as these may
heat up quickly without allowing time for the automatic disconnection
function of the cooker to come into operation.
Minimum diameter of pot/pan base for the different cooking areas
To ensure that the hob functions properly, use pots of a suitable minimum
diameter (refer to the table below).
Always use the cooking zone that best corresponds to the minimum
diameter of the bottom of the pot.
Place the pot making sure it is well centered on the cooking zone in use.
It is recommended not to use pots that exceed the perimeter of the cooking
zone in use.

ADAPTER FOR POTS/PANS UNSUITABLE FOR INDUCTION
Using this accessory makes it possible to use pots and pans that are not
suitable for induction hobs. It is important to bear in mind that using it
affects efficiency and, consequently, the time needed to heat food. Its
use should be limited because the temperatures reached on its surface
depend significantly on the pot/pan used, its flatness and the type of
food being cooked. Using a pot or pan with a smaller diameter than the
adapter disc may cause heat to build up that is not transmitted to the
pot or pan, which could blacken both the hob and the disc. Adapt the
diameter of your pots/pans and the hob to the diameter of the adapter.
