5. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

5.1 Cookware

For induction cooking zones

a strong electro-magnetic

field creates the heat in the

cookware very quickly.

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

possible.

Cookware dimensions
Induction cooking zones adapt to the

dimension of the bottom of the cookware

automatically to some limit.

The cooking zone efficiency is related to

the diameter of the cookware. The

cookware with a smaller diameter than the

minimum receives only a part of the power

generated by the cooking zone.

Refer to “Technical

information” chapter.

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

different materials (sandwich

construction).

• whistle sound: you the cooking zone

with high power level and the

cookware is made of different materials

• humming: you use high power level.

• clicking: electric switching occurs.

• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.

The noises are normal and do not

refer to hob malfunction.

5.3 Energy saving

• If it is possible, always put the lids on

the cookware.

• Put cookware on a cooking zone

before you start it.

• Use the residual heat to keep the food

warm or to melt it.
