5. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
5.1 Cookware
For induction cooking zones
a strong electro-magnetic
field creates the heat in the
cookware very quickly.
Use the induction cooking
zones with correct cookware.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled

cookware with a smaller diameter than the
minimum receives only a part of the power
generated by the cooking zone.
Refer to "Technical
