• ... 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 noises during operation
If you can hear
• crack noise: cookware is made of different
materials (Sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you use one or more cooking
zones with high power levels and the cook-
ware 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 refer to
appliance malfunction.

• If it is possible, always put the lids on the
cookware.

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 di-
ameter of the cookware. The cookware with a
smaller diameter than the minimum receives only
a part of the power generated by the cooking
zone. For the minimum diameters see the Tech-
nical Information chapter.
The Examples of cooking applications
The relation between the heat setting and the
cooking zone consumption of power is not line-
ar.
When you increase the heat setting it is not pro-
portional to the increase of the cooking zone
consumption of power.
It means that the cooking zone with the medium
heat setting uses less than a half of its power.
The data in the table is for guidance only.
