Pans - Miele KM 6113 Operating And Installation Instructions

Pans

The following pan types are suitable:
- Stainless steel with a base that can
be magnetised,
- enamelled steel,
- cast iron.
The following pan types are not suit-
able:
- Stainless steel pans without a mag-
netic base,
- aluminium and copper pans,
- glass, ceramic or earthenware pots
and pans.
To test whether a pot or pan is suitable
for use on an induction hob, hold a
magnet to the base of the pan. If the
magnet sticks, the pan is suitable. If an
unsuitable pan is used, the  symbol
will flash alternately with the power level
set.
The composition of the pan base can
affect the evenness of the cooking res-
ults (e.g. when browning pancakes).
- To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose a pan with a suitable
base diameter (see "Guide to the ap-
pliance - Cooking zones"). If the pan
is too small, it will not be recognised
and the  symbol will flash alternately
with the power level set.
- Only use pots and pans with smooth
bases. Rough bases will scratch the
ceramic glass.
- Lift pans into position on the hob.
Sliding them into place can cause
scuffs and scratches.
- Often the maximum diameter quoted
by manufacturers refers to the dia-
meter of the top rim of the pot or
pan. The diameter of the base (gener-
ally smaller) is more important.
- Where possible, use pans with vertic-
ally straight sides. If a pan has angu-
lar sides, induction also acts on the
sides of the pan. The sides of the pan
may discolour or the coating may
peel off.
