What cookware to use
Given that induction only exists when the magnetic field is sealed by a metallic recipient, the
pan stops being heated as soon as it is taken off the cooking zone.
Use cookware made of material which is compatible with induction (ferromagnetic material).
Cast iron, enamelled steel or special induction stainless steel saucepans are ideal. Copper,
ceramic, earthenware, glass, terracotta, aluminium and non magnetic stainless steel cookware
is incompatible with induction cooking. The easiest way to find out whether the pan is suitable
is with a magnet. If the magnet is attracted by the pan bottom and stays "stuck" to the same:
the pan is made of ferromagnetic material and can be used on your induction hob.
We recommend you use pans with a very flat and thick bottom and avoid at all costs all
cookware with irregular rough bases which could scratch the glass surface.
For best results, you should match the size of the cookware to the diameter of the respective
cooking zone, indicated on the glass hob surface. This will ensure considerable savings on
energy and shorter cooking times.

Maintenance
Turn the hob off by pressing the key.
Should you accidentally press the ON/OFF key and turn the hob back on during cleaning, turn
it off immediately.
The vitroceramic glass used for the heating surface is smooth and poreless; it is also resistant
to thermal shocks (it is insensitive to differences in temperature) and to mechanical shocks
under normal conditions of use.
In order to preserve these properties, we recommend you care for your hob as follows:
• for ordinary maintenance, just wipe it with a damp sponge and dry it thoroughly using paper
towels. If the hob is dirty, rub clean using a special cleaner suitable for vitroceramic glass*, rinse
off and dry thoroughly. When the hob is clean, you can apply a special product for the care and
protection of the same: this type of product leaves an invisible film on the surface of the hob to
protect the same against any spills and boiled-over food. It is best if you do this when the hob is
lukewarm or cold.
• food residue and dirt can be removed using a special scraper (razor blade). Do this as soon as
possible, do not wait for the hob to cool down in order to avoid incrustations. For excellent
results, use a special stainless steel wool pad for vitroceramic glass cleaning soaked in soapy
water.
