• Attention – induction heat! Metal objects as, e.g., knifes, forks, spoons and pot lids
should not be placed on the cooking zone as they may get hot.
• Attention – hot surface! The induction cooker initially heats only the base of the cooking
utensils used, not the cooking zone itself. However, because of the heat radiated during
cooking, dangerously high temperatures may also occur at the cooking zone after the
cooking cycle. Hazard of burns!
• Warning: potential damage to your health! People wearing pacemakers must not use
this cooker.

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-ceramics 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?
Induction cookers require pots, i.e., pot bases made of magnetisable material. 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 cooking utensils; to find out whether a pot or
pan is suitable, i.e., magnetisable just try the following:
Put the respective pot on the hob. If you hear an alarm sound after selecting the cooking
function and switching the device on, the pot is not suitable.
For reasons of safety, the device automatically switches to the standby mode after a
few seconds.
Cooking utensils made of the following materials are not suitable for induction hobs:
Clay, glass or aluminium.
Do not use the following types of pots:
Pots with bended
(convex/parabolic) bases.
