Induction cooking
Advantages
With induction cooking, the heat is generated directly in the pan
base. This has many advantages:
Time saved when cooking and roasting. The cookware is
■
heated up directly.
Energy-saving.
■
Easier care and cleaning. Food which has overflowed does
■
not burn on as quickly.
Controlled heat supply and safety. The induction generates
■
or interrupts the heat supply immediately after each use. The
heating is interrupted when you remove the cookware from
the cooking position, even if the cooking position is still
switched on.
Cookware
Suitable cookware
Only use ferromagnetic cookware made of enamelled steel,
cast iron or special induction cookware made of rust-free
stainless steel.
Other cookware for induction
There are other types of cookware especially made for
induction cooking whose base is not entirely ferromagnetic.
When using large cookware on a
smaller ferromagnetic area, only
the ferromagnetic zone heats up,
so heat might not be uniformly
distributed.
Pans with aluminium areas
inserted in the base reduce the
ferromagnetic area, so less heat
may be supplied and the pan
may be difficult to detect or not
be detected at all.
Unsuitable cookware
Never use cookware made of conventional steel,glass,
ceramic, copper or aluminium.
Checking the cookware
Your cookware is suitable if the pan base can attract a magnet.
Saucepan manufacturers usually indicate cookware that is
suitable for induction cooking.
Cookware base
The properties of the cookware base can influence the cooking
result. The material of the cookware base should distribute the
heat evenly. A sandwich base of stainless steel is a good
example.
Empty cooking containers or cookware with a thin base
:
Risk of burning!
Do not heat up any empty cooking containers or cookware with
a thin base. An empty cooking container can heat up so quickly
that the safety shut-down is not activated on time and a high
temperature can be reached. The base of the container could
melt and damage the glass ceramic of the cooktop. Do not
touch the hot cooking container and switch the cooking
position off. If the cooktop does not work after the cooking
position has cooled down, contact the after-sales service.
Pot detection
The position, size and shape of the cookware used is
automatically detected by the cooktop. Sizes with a diameter of
90 to 340 mm are suitable.
Note: The cooking position indicators may differ from the actual
size and shape of the cookware. This is normal and does not
adversely affect the correct operation of the cooktop.
