POTS AND PANS
Only use pots and pans made from ferromagnetic material which are suitable for
use with induction hobs� To determine whether a pot is suitable, check for the
symbol (usually 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 diameter of the base do not correspond to the actual diameter of the
ferromagnetic surface�

pots with thin bases, the temperature may rise very quickly, and the “automatic off” function may be
triggered with a slight delay, damaging the pot or pan� If this occurs, do not touch anything, and wait
for all components to cool down�
If any error messages appear, call the service centre�
MINIMUM DIAMETER OF POT/PAN BASE FOR THE DIFFERENT COOKING AREAS
