You must use induction-compatible cookware. Look for cookware with a flat bottom and that a magnet will stick to. Typically, this includes cookware made from stainless steel or cast iron.
How do I set the timer?
Select the cooking zone, then use the touch controls to set the desired cooking time. The hob will automatically switch off the zone when the timer elapses.
How do I clean the hob?
Wipe spills immediately with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals that could scratch the surface.
What is the child safety lock?
The child safety lock prevents children from accidentally turning on the hob or changing the settings. Activate it to ensure safe operation.
What is the PowerBoost function?
The PowerBoost function provides extra power to a cooking zone, allowing for faster heating. It is ideal for boiling water or quickly searing food.
