4.4 Compatible Cookware
Induction hobs require cookware with a magnetic base. Suitable materials include iron, stainless steel, and alloy pots. Cookware made of glass, ceramic, aluminum, or copper without a magnetic base is not compatible.

4.7 Booster Function
The booster function provides a temporary increase in power to a cooking zone for rapid heating. Activate it by pressing the 'B' button for the desired zone. The booster will automatically reduce power after a set period to prevent overheating.
4.8 Residual Heat Indicator
After a cooking zone is turned off, an 'H' will appear on the display if the surface is still hot. This indicates a burn hazard. Do not touch the zone until the 'H' disappears.
4.9 Overheat Protection
The hob is equipped with an overheat protection system that automatically shuts down a cooking zone if its temperature exceeds a safe limit. This prevents damage to the hob and ensures safety.
5. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your induction hob.
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a soft cloth and mild detergent after each use.
- Stubborn Stains: For burnt-on food or stubborn stains, use a specialized ceramic hob cleaner and a scraper designed for glass surfaces.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch or damage the surface.
