Pans - Miele KM 6112 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 suita‐
ble:
– 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 lev‐
el set.
The composition of the pan base can
affect the evenness of the cooking re‐
sults (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 diam‐
eter of the top rim of the pot or pan.
The diameter of the base (generally
smaller) is more important.
