[. . . ] Do not stare for any length of time at the halogen lamps in the cooking zones. Your hob is equipped with a child safety device that locks its operation after use or during cooking (See "Using the Child Safety Device" section). Help recycle it and protect the environment by dropping it off in the municipal receptacles provided for this purpose. It is marked with this label to indicate the used appliances that should not be mixed with other waste. [. . . ] When you place your cookware on a cooking zone and you turn it on, the electronic boards in your cooking hob produce "induced" currents in the bottom of the cookware and instantly raise its température. This heat is then transferred to the food, which is simmered or seared depending on your settings. Only glass, terra cotta, aluminium without a special finish on the bottom, copper and some non-magnetic stainless steels do not work with induction cooking. To check the suitability of your cookware: Place the vessel on a cooking zone at power level 4. If the display flashes, your cookware cannot be used with induction cooking. If a magnet "sticks" to the bottom of the cookware, it is compatible with induction. Preferably use the following types of cookware: - Stainless steel with thick trimetal or "sandwich" base. The diameter of the cookware base must be equal or superior to the printed zone Do not leave an empty pan on a cooking. Do not leave a pan containing hot fat or oil unattended on a cooking zone. A higher setting is necessary in the event of: - abundant quantities - cooking with uncovered cookware - use of a glass or ceramic pot. A lower setting is necessary in the event of: - cooking food that tends to burn easily (begin with a low setting, as it can be increased if necessary). To end cooking, place on position 0, leaving the cookware in place to use the heat accumulated (this way you will save energy). Use a cover as often as possible to reduce heat loss through evaporation. The cooking zones set automatically, they switch on and off to maintain the selected power. This way, the temperature remains consistent and suited to the food you are cooking. Use the button to select the cooking zone on which you would like to use the timer. If you press this button several times, a rotating symbol will show which cooking zone the timer is being used for. To use the timer: - turn on the cooking zone - select the rotating symbol for this cooking zone. As soon as you release the button, the power display will show the power of the cooking zone or a "t". When you have finished cooking, the cooking zone turns itself off, the timer shows 0 and a bip sounds. [. . . ] After intensive use, the cooking zone that you have just used can remain hot for several minutes. Do not store cleaning products or flammable products in the cabinet underneath your cooking hob. Never place items wrapped in aluminium foil or packaged in aluminium dishes on your cooking hob. the aluminium will melt and permanently damage your cooking appliance. [. . . ]
