6. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
6.1 Cookware
For induction cooking zones a strong
electro-magnetic field creates the heat in
the cookware very quickly.
Use the induction cooking zones with suitable
cookware.
• The bottom of the cookware must be as
thick and flat as possible.
• Ensure pan bases are clean and dry
before placing on the hob surface.
• In order to avoid scratches, do not slide or
rub the pot across the ceramic glass.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel,
stainless steel, multi-layer bottom (with a
correct marking from a manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass,
glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is suitable for an induction hob
if:
• water boils very quickly on a zone set to
the highest heat setting.
• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the
cookware.

• If the hob reaches the limit of maximum
available power (refer to the rating plate),
the power of the cooking zones will be
automatically reduced.
• For cooking zones that have a reduced
power, the control panel shows the
maximum possible heat settings.
• If a higher heat setting is not available
reduce it for the other cooking zones first.
• The activation of the function depends on
the number and size of pots.
• Induction cooking zones adapt to the
dimension of the bottom of the cookware
automatically.
• The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The
cookware with a diameter smaller than the
minimum receives only a part of the power
generated by the cooking zone.
• For both safety reasons and optimal
cooking results, do not use cookware
larger than indicated in "Cooking zones
specification". Avoid keeping cookware
close to the control panel during the
cooking session. This might impact the
functioning of the control panel or
accidentally activate hob functions.
Refer to "Technical data".
6.2 The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of different
materials (a sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you use a cooking zone
with a high power level and the cookware
is made of different materials (a sandwich
construction).
• humming: you use a high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not indicate
any malfunction.
