Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why doesn’t my pan work on the induction hob?
Have you ever wondered why your favorite pan doesn’t work on your induction hob? Let’s find out:
Q: What type of gas do I need?
Only operate the stove with the type of gas (propane or butane) and pressure, as indicated on the rating plate.
Q: Is it possible to make my burners more powerful?
We do not recommend modifying the appliance in anyway.
Q: What is the maximum pan size?
Please use the correct recommended sizes of pans and position them centrally over the burners. Do not allow cooking vessels to overlap the edges of the appliance. Please refer to your user manual.
Q: Why is the cooking appliance too hot to touch?
The appliance is manufactured to heat food and as a result certain areas will become hot. Touchable surfaces like knobs and handles should remain within a safe touchable temperature. If you are concerned about these temperatures, please contact your dealer who can measure the temperatures to ensure they are correct.
Q: How can I clean my cooking appliance (glass / glass lid)?
Always remove any spills or contamination immediately after use with soap and hot water. Towel dry the surface with a soft cloth. Use a special glass cleaner to clean more stubborn dirt or grease.
Q: What can I use to clean my hob / sink?
We generally recommend you use warm, soapy water – rinse, and dry thoroughly. For further information please refer to your owner’s manual.
Q: Why do the knobs fall off?
There may be a flat metal retaining clip that has broken from the knob. Please contact your dealer who can replace under warranty or supply this if the appliance is outside the 3 year warranty.
