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.
Refer to "Technical
information" chapter.

5.3 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)
To save energy, the heater of the
cooking zone deactivates before the
count down timer sounds. The difference
in the operation time depends on the
heat setting level and the length of the
cooking operation.
5.4 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.
