Instructions for the user
6.7.4 Cookware
Appliances of this type require special cookware to be able to work.
In fact, the cookware must have an iron or steel/iron bottom to generate
the magnetic field necessary for it to be heated up.
Recipients made of the following are not suitable:
• glass
• ceramic:
• terracotta
• steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic bottom
To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a magnet close to the bottom: if
it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If you do not have
a magnet, you can put a small amount of water in the recipient, place it on
a cooking zone and start the burner. If, instead of the power symbol, the
symbol appears, it means the pan is not suitable.
The pans used for cooking must have a minimum diameter to guarantee
proper functioning.
Below is a table with the minimum diameters for pans according to the
cooking zone.

Pans that are larger than the cooking
zones can also be used, but care must
be taken that the bottom of the pan
does not come into contact with other
cooking zones and that it is always
centred on the cooking zone
perimeter.
