COOKWARE / INDUCTION

PRINCIPLE

THE INDUCTION PRINCIPLE 

- Inductor

- Electronic board

- Induced electric current

The principle of induction is based on a magnetic

effect.

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 temperature.

This heat is then transferred to the food, which is

simmered or seared depending on your settings.

COOKWARE 

Most cookware is compatible with induction. Only

glass, earthenware, aluminium without a special

nishonthebottom,copperandsomenon-magnetic

stainless steels do not work with induction cooking.

We recommend that you select cookware with a

thick,atbottom.Theheatwillbedistributedbetter

and cooking will be more uniform.

21 cm 18....24cm

Tip

To check the suitability of your cookware:

Place the pan on a cooking zone at power level –

If the display remains on, your cookware is –

compatible.

If the display ashes, your cookware cannot be –

used with induction cooking.

You can also use a magnet to test the cookware.

If a magnet “sticks” to the bottom of the cookware,

it is compatible with induction.

COOKING METHODS

Lower heater turned on

Heat is delivered by the lower heater located

beneaththeooroftheoven.Thisfunctionallows

for extra heating the bottom surface of the dish.

It is recommended to use this function during the

last10–15minutesofbaking.

Lower and upper heater turned on – conven-

tional baking

Both heaters deliver heat to the oven. Dishes

should be placed on one level of the oven,

preferably the middle one. This kind of heating is

idealforcookingcakes,meat,sh,bread,pizza,

etc.

Upper heater turned on

This heating method can be used for extra

heating of the top surface of the dish.

Lower heater and fan turned on

Both the lower heater and the fan are on.The

vent distributes the heat delivered by the lower

heater.

Traditional baking with heat evenly distribu-

ted by the fan

The fan circulates hot air around the dish which

is being prepared in the oven. This function

requires temperatures lower than in traditional

baking methods.

Traditional grilling

This faction is intended for grilling small size

dishes (steaks, kebabs, sausages, sh, toasts,

krouts, etc.).

The dish should be placed on a baking tray or a

roasting spit on the middle level of the oven.

The grilling time is assumed approximately 8 -

10minutespereachcentimeterofthickness.

Before starting to grill your dish, pre-heat the

oven at a maximum temperature. At half grilling

time, turn the dish upside down.

When grilling meat on a roasting-spit, place a

driptraylledwithca. 0.5 l ofwaterunderthe

grilled dish on a lower level of the oven.

Grilling with the fan

This function allows for grilling with heat evenly

distributed throughout the oven.

Defrosting

 Withtheventturnedon,theheatisdistributed

evenly around the dish, thereby ensuring regu-

lar defrosting of frozen foods. This function is

suitableforalltypesoffrozenfoods.Frozenve-

getables may be prepared straight away without

defrosting.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USING THE OVEN

COOKING MEATS 

Before being placed in the oven,•

allmeat should be kept at least one

hour at room temperature. Trim the

fat from red meat to avoid smoke

and odours.

It is preferable to use an •

earthenware dish (less splattering

than with a glass dish) whose

sizeissuitedtothe meatyouare

roasting.

Add saltwhencooking is nished•

to prevent the meat from drying out

and the blood from leeching out.

Add a few spoonfuls of hot water to •

the dish to prevent the juices from

burning.

Cooking time•

Roastbeef(rare):10to15minutes –

for500 g.

Pork roast from 35 to 40 minutes –

for 500g.

Veal roast from 30 to 40 minutes –

for 500 g.

At the end of a cooking programme, •

it is indispensable to let meats sit,

wrapped in aluminium paper (10

to 15minutes). This wait period

promotes the relaxation of the meat

bresandevencolouring;themeat

will remain tender and moist.

For barbecue• : coat with cooking

oil. Do not prick red meat you are

grilling; use a spatula to turn it

instead.

Prick the skin of poultry under the •

wings so that fat can drain out

without causing splattering.

COOKING VEGETABLES 

When you make potatoes au•

gratin, it is recommended that you

pre-cook the sliced potatoes in

milkoramilk-creammixture.

To easily peel peppers: roast them •

underared-hotgrill,turningthem

often. When the skin blisters,

enclose them in a plastic bag for

a few minutes, then the skin can

easily be removed.

To prepare stuffed tomatoes: after •

cutting out a top piece, remove the

seeds, season the insides with salt

and turn them upside down on the

grill sothat they can drain before

you stuff them.

Endives(withhamorinBéchamel•

sauce) should drain for a long

time;otherwisethecooking water

will make the sauce runny and

avourless.

When you top an au gratin dish•

with bread crumbs, you must mix

it with swiss cheese: it absorbs

the grease and makes the dish

crunchy.

COOKING PASTRY 

Choosing a mould• : Avoid light-

coloured or shiny moulds: They

prolong cooking time and they

requiretheovenbepreheatedOpt

for non-stick metal moulds for

tarts, quiches, etc. They produce a

crispy golden crust on the bottom.

Tips• : Do not hesitate to protect

the inside of your moulds or the

bottom of enamel dishes with a

sheet of parchment paper: it

protects cookware from acid stains

and makes unmoulding easier.

Always add yeast at the end of your

preparation and do not let it come

into contact with salt as it will lose

its effectiveness.

Wheneveryouchooseacookingmode

that uses the fan, it is recommended

that you reduce the temperature

by 30°C to 50°C compared to the

traditional cooking mode. In this case,

the cooking time is extended by 5 to

10minutes.

If the cooking time is long, turn off the oven 5 to 10 minutes

beforethe end of the cooking time and use the residual heat to

nish the dish.

During normal usage the interior of the oven •

chamber becomes heated to high temperatures,

in this way the catalytic enamel can easier absorb

emitting vapours.

Periodical, particularly after roasting very fat •

mealsitisrecommendedtomakeaself-cleaning

the maximum temperature (250

C). During that

timetheovendoorshouldbeclosed.Duringself-

cleaning process dirt from the catalytic shields will

oxidizeandevaporate.

After some time, the catalytic covers will loose •

their self-cleaning properties; when their surface

becomes glossy they should be replaced.

To facilitate disassembly of guides and catalytic •

shields you can remove the oven door.

Removing the oven door:
