FAQs
What type of cookware can I use?
You must use cookware with a ferromagnetic base. A magnet should stick firmly to the bottom of the pan.

Use a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, you can use a special induction hob cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
How do I activate the MultiZone function?
Consult the user manual for specific instructions, but generally, you'll press a button or use a setting on the touch control panel to combine the zones.
How often should I replace the charcoal filters?
The charcoal filters should be replaced every 3-6 months depending on usage. Refer to the user manual.
What is the residual heat indicator?
The residual heat indicator lights up when the cooking zones are still hot after use, alerting you to avoid burns and use caution.
Can I use the hob if the power goes out?

Troubleshooting
