HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

INDUCTION COOKING ZONES
For induction cooking zones a strong elec-
tro-magnetic field creates the heat in the
cookware very quickly.
Cookware for induction cooking zones
Important! Use the induction cooking
zones with correct cookware.
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 automatically to some limit.
The noises during operation
If you can hear
• crack noise: cookware is made of differ-
ent materials (Sandwich construction).
4. Touch
one of the following:

–
To confirm your selection wait for 10
seconds until the appliance deactivates
automatically.
When the function is set on
hear the sounds only when:
• you touch
• the Minute Minder comes down
• the Count Down Timer comes down
• you put something on the control panel
If there is a problem with electrical sup-
ply and the appliance deactivates it
or
does not keep previous settings.
• 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
How to save energy
• If it is possible, always put the lids on the
cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone before
you start it.
• Use the residual heat to keep the food
warm or to melt it.
The cooking zone efficiency
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. For the minimum di-
ameters see the Technical Information
chapter.
The Examples of cooking applications
The relation between the heat setting and
the cooking zone consumption of power is
not linear.
