USING THE COOKTOP
The magnet test
To see if a piece of cookware will work on your
induction cooktop, try to stick a magnet to it. If the
magnet clings firmly to the bottom of the cook-
ware, the cookware will work on your induction
cooktop. If the magnet clings weakly or not at all,
the cookware will not heat up on your induction
cooktop.
Minimum pan size requirements
USE THE CORRECT SIZE COOKWARE - The
cooking zones available on the Induction cooktop
require a MINIMUM pan size to be used at each
location. We recommend using cookware with a
diameter that allows efficient cooking.
Below is a summary table showing the recom-
mended diameter of the cookware for each cook-
ing zone.

length of a an elongated pan. For the width of this
pan keep a maximum of 180 mm - 7" 1/16.
First power on
When the range is first plugged in, or when the
power supply has been interrupted, all the symbols
on the cooktop display light up for one second.
Cooktop power management
The cooktop is equipped with a power manage-
ment module which optimizes or limits energy con-
sumption.
If the total power levels set exceed the maximum
allowed limit, the electronic board automatically
manages the power supplied to the cooking zones.
The levels set by the automatic management sys-
tem are shown on the display.
