HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

InDuCTIOn COOkIng zOnES
For induction cooking zones a strong electro-magnetic field
creates the heat in the cookware very quickly.
Cookware for induction cooking zones
WarnIng!
Use the induction cooking zones with correct cookware.
Cookware material:
• c orrect: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless
steel, the bottom made of multi-layer (with correct
mark from a manufacturer).
• n ot correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic,
porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an induction hob if:
• s ome 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.
use of the cooking zones
ImPOrTanT!
Put the cookware on the cross which is on the surface
that you cook. Cover the cross fully. The magnetic part of
the bottom of the cookware must be 125mm minimum.
Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the
bottom of the cookware automatically. You can cook
with the large cookware on two cooking zones at the
same time.
The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• c rack noise: cookware is made of different materials
(Sandwich construction).
• w histle 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 refer to any defects.
If unfamiliar with induction units please first compare the
operating sounds of a demonstration model at your retailer
before calling service. If a service call is placed and the
sounds are normal you will be charged for the visit.
Energy saving
HOW TO SaVE EnErgy
• If it is possible, always put the lids on the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone before you start it.
• U se 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 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 Technical
data chapter.
Öko Timer (Eco Timer)
To save energy, the heater of the cooking zone deactivates
before the count down timer sounds. The difference in the
operation time depends on the heat setting level and the
length of the cooking operation.
