6. HOB - HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!
Refer to the Safety chapters.
6.1 Cookware for induction
cooking zones
In induction cooking, a powerful
electromagnetic field almost in-
stantly generates heat inside the
cookware.
Cookware material
• Correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled
steel, stainless steel, a multi-layer bot-
tom (marked as correct by the manu-
facturer).
• Incorrect: aluminium, copper, brass,
glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an induction
hob if:
• Water boils very quickly on a zone set
to the highest heat setting.
• You can attach a magnet to the bot-
tom of the cookware.
The bottom of the cookware
must be as thick and flat as possi-
ble.
Put the cookware on the cross
which is on the cooking surface.
Cover the cross fully. The mag-
netic part of the bottom of the
cookware must be 125 mm mini-
mum. Induction cooking zones
adapt to the dimension of the
bottom of the cookware auto-
matically. You can cook with the
large cookware on two cooking
zones at the same time.

6.2 Noises during operation
If you can hear:
• A cracking noise: the cookware is
made of different materials (Sandwich
construction).
• A whistle sound: one or more cooking
zones operate with high power levels
and the cookware is made of different
materials (Sandwich construction).
• Humming: one or more cooking zones
operate with high power levels.
• Clicking: electric switching occurs.
• Hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not indi-
cate a malfunction of the appliance.
6.3 Energy saving
• If it is possible, always put the
lids on the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking
zone before you start it.
