5. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

INDUCTION COOKING ZONES

For induction cooking zones a strong
electro-magnetic field creates the heat in
the cookware very quickly.

5.1 Cookware for induction
cooking zones

Use the induction cooking zones
with correct cookware.

Cookware material
correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled

steel, stainless steel, the bottom made
of multi-layer (with correct mark from a
manufacturer).

not correct: aluminium, copper, brass,

glass, ceramic, porcelain.

Cookware is correct for an induction
hob if …
• ... some water boils very quickly on a

zone set to the highest heat setting.

• ... a magnet pulls on to the bottom of

the cookware.

The bottom of the cookware
must be as thick and flat as possi-
ble.

Cookware dimensions: induction cook-
ing zones adapt to the dimension of the
bottom of the cookware automatically to
some limit.

5.2 The noises during operation

If you can hear
• crack noise: cookware is made of dif-

ferent materials (Sandwich construc-
tion).

• whistle sound: you use one or more

cooking zones with high power levels
and the cookware is made of different
materials (Sandwich construction).

• humming: you use high power levels.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not re-
fer to appliance malfunction.

5.3 Energy saving

How to save energy

• If it is possible, always put the lids on

the cookware.

• Put cookware on a cooking zone be-

fore you start it.

• Use the residual heat to keep the food

warm or to melt it.

The cooking zone efficiency

The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The cook-
ware with a smaller diameter than the
minimum receives only a part of the pow-
er generated by the cooking zone. For the
minimum diameters see the Technical In-
formation chapter.

5.4 The Examples of cooking
applications

The relation between the heat setting and
the cooking zone consumption of power
is not linear.
When you increase the heat setting it is
not proportional to the increase of the
cooking zone consumption of power.
