Cookware - Miele KM 6310 Operating And Installation Instructions

Cookware

Suitable cookware is made of:
– Stainless steel with a magnetic
bottom,
– enamel-coated steel,
– cast iron
Unsuitable cookware is made of:
– Stainless steel pans without a
magnetic bottom,
– Aluminium or copper,
– Glass, ceramics, earthenware,
stoneware.
To test whether a pot or pan is suitable
for use on an induction cooktop, hold a
magnet to the bottom 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 level set.
The composition of the pan bottom can
affect the evenness of the cooking
results (e.g., when making pancakes).
– To make optimum use of the burners,
choose pans with diameters larger
than the innermost markings but
smaller than the outermost markings
(see "Burner data"). If the diameter of
the pan is smaller than the innermost
marking, the pan will not be
recognized and  will flash alternately
with the power level set.
– Pots and pans with rough bottoms
can scratch the ceramic surface.
Only use pots and pans that are
smooth on the bottom.
– Lift pans into position on the
cooktop. Sliding them into place can
cause scuff marks and scratches.
– The maximum diameter indicated by
manufacturers will often refer to the
diameter of the top rim of the pot or
pan. The diameter of the base
(generally smaller) is more important.
