5. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
5.1 Cookware
For induction cooking zones
a strong electro-magnetic
field creates the heat in the
cookware very quickly.
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 manufacturer).
• 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
arrow pointing down comes on in the
cooking zone symbol. If you do not
change the pots number on the
flexible zone after one minute the
lower heat setting will be set for this
cooking session.
Induction cooking zones adapt to the
dimension of the bottom of the cookware
automatically to some limit.
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.
Refer to "Technical
information" chapter.
5.2 The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of
different materials (sandwich
construction).
• whistle sound: you use the cooking
zone with high power level and the
cookware is made of different
materials (sandwich construction).
• humming: you use high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• clicking on flexible zone: the pot is not
detected and the cooking zone is not
set.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not
refer to hob malfunction.
