ilve Freestanding Cookers - Manual (Page 28)

The ILVE induction cooktops have been designed to make your cooking quick and easy. When using an
Induction cooktop you will need to use specific cookware, this is due to induction technology using
magnetic fields which transfer the cooking energy to the base of your cookware. You need to make sure
that the cookware you are using has a magnetic base.
Due to the cooktop needing a magnetic base to work, the cooktop will not start to generate heat until it
comes into contact with the magnetic field the cookware will create. Once the saucepan is removed the
cooktop will automatically shut down until magnetic contact is reintroduced.
Even though the cooktop uses the base of your cookware as the heating element and not the cooktop
you should still be aware that the cooktop surface may still be hot from residual heat. The cooktop display
will have a appear to indicate to you the surface may be hot and you should not touch it.
Cookware bases that will work on induction surface: enamel, cast Iron, stainless steel or magnetic bases.
Cookware bases that will not work on induction: copper, glass, ceramic, aluminum.
SAFETY DEVICES
Your ILVE induction cooktop has been installed with some safety devices. If you happen to boil dry a
saucepan or pot, or if the cooktop reaches a dangerous temperature the cooktop will shut down
automatically to prevent any harm to itself or your kitchen. The cooktop will also beep at you to alert you
of a problem.
The cooktop is also fitted with a spill detection device, this means that if you have left something
unattended and there happens to be a boil over, once the cooktop control panels senses a spill it will
automatically shut down and beep at you to come and check what has happened.
TURNING ON THE COOKTOP
A cooking area is switched on by turning the respective knob clockwise. The set power level appears on
the hob display (1-9). A cooking area is switched off by turning the respective knob anti-clockwise. The
symbol (0) appears on the hob display for 3 seconds, and then it disappears from the display or changes
to the symbol (H), if the cooking hob is still hot. The cook top will automatically switch off if any conditions
of excess temperature or errors in power supply occur.
