HOB - HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
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 steel,
stainless steel, the bottom made of multi-layer
(with correct mark from a manufacturer).
•
not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass,
ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an induction hob if:
•
some 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.
Cookware dimensions
Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of
the bottom of the cookware automatically to some
limit.
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.

THE NOISES DURING OPERATION
If you can hear:
•
crack noise: cookware is made of different
materials (sandwich construction).
•
whistle sound: you use the cooking zone with
high power level and the cookware is made of
different materials (sandwich construction).
•
humming: you use high power level.
•
clicking: electric switching occurs.
•
hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not refer to
hob malfunction.
EXAMPLES OF COOKING APPLICATIONS
The relation between the heat setting and the
cooking zone consumption of power is not linear.
When you increase the heat setting, it is not
proportional to the increase of the cooking zone
consumption of power. It means that the cooking
zone with the medium heat setting uses less than a
half of its power.
