General information

Cooking with induction technology
When cooking with induction technology, heat is
only generated by means of magnetic power, if a
pot or pan with a magnetisable base is placed on
a switched-on cooking zone. The induction cooker
heats only the base of the cooking utensils used,
not the cooking zone itself. Under the glass-ceram-
ics surface, the induction coil is located. If the coil
is supplied with electrical power a magnetic field
develops generating whirls in the pot's base. This
results in the heating of the base material. The
induction process saves energy as heat is solely
produced where it is needed.
What cooking utensils may I use?
For induction cooking plates cookware made from
magnetisable material is needed. Today, cooking
utensils appropriate for induction cooking usually
bear a note saying‚ Suitable for induction hob' or
similar.
But principally you may use any iron-based cook-
ing utensils; to find out whether a pot or pan is suit-
able, i.e., magnetisable just try the following:
Position the cookware. If several warning signals
sound and if the message "– – –" appears, the
cookware is unsuitable.
NOTE:
For safety reasons, the appliance will switch to
standby mode after about 15 seconds.
Cooking utensils made of the following materi-
als are not suitable for induction hobs:
Clay, glass or aluminium.
