• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel,
stainless steel, multi-layer bottom (with a
correct marking from a manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass,
glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is suitable for an induction hob
if:
• water boils very quickly on a zone set to
the highest heat setting.
• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the
cookware.
Cookware dimensions
• Induction cooking zones adapt to the
dimension of the bottom of the cookware
automatically.
• The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The
cookware with a diameter smaller than the
minimum receives only a part of the
power generated by the cooking zone.
Refer to "Technical data".
6.2 The noises during operation

• crack noise: cookware is made of different
materials (a sandwich construction).

construction).
• humming: you use a high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not indicate
any malfunction.
6.3 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.
6.4 Examples of cooking
applications
The correlation between the heat setting of a
zone and its consumption of power is not
linear. When you increase the heat setting, it
is not proportional to the increase of the
consumption of power. It means that a
cooking zone with the medium heat setting
uses less than a half of its power.
The data in the table is for
guidance only.
