HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Use the induction cooking zones with
correct cookware.
COOKWARE FOR INDUCTION
COOKING ZONES
Important! For induction cooking zones a
strong electro-magnetic field creates the
heat in the cookware very quickly.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel,
stainless steel, the bottom made of multi-
layer (with correct mark from a manufac-
turer).
• 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 auto-
matically to some limit.
THE NOISES DURING OPERATION

• crack noise: cookware is made of differ-
ent materials (Sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you use one or more
cooking zones with high power levels and

the cookware is made of different materi-
als (Sandwich construction).
• humming: you use high power levels.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not refer
to appliance malfunction.
ENERGY SAVING
• If it is possible, always put the lids on
the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone be-
fore you start it.
ÖKO TIMER (ECO TIMER)
To save energy, the heater of the cook-
ing 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 cook-
ing operation.
THE 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.
