Hints And Tips - AEG IKE64453IB User Manual

• Cooking zones are grouped according to
the location and number of the phases in
the hob. Each phase has a maximum
electricity loading (3700 W). If the hob
reaches the limit of maximum available
power within one phase, the power of the
cooking zones will be automatically
reduced.
• The heat setting of the cooking zone
selected last is always prioritised. The
remaining power will be divided between
the previously activated cooking zones in
reverse order of selection.
• The heat setting display of the reduced
zones changes between the initially
selected heat setting and the reduced
heat setting.
• Wait until the display stops flashing or
reduce the heat setting of the cooking
zone selected last. The cooking zones will
continue operating with the reduced heat
setting. Change the heat settings of the
cooking zones manually, if necessary.
Power management with Power limitation
When you set the Power limitation function to
6000 W or less, the power of the hob is
divided among all cooking zones.
Refer to the illustration for possible
combinations in which power can be
distributed among the cooking zones.

6. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
6.1 Cookware
For induction cooking zones a
strong electro-magnetic field
creates the heat in the cookware
very quickly.
Use the induction cooking zones with
suitable cookware.
• The bottom of the cookware must be as
thick and flat as possible.
• Ensure pan bases are clean and dry
before placing on the hob surface.
• In order to avoid scratches, do not slide or
rub the pot across the ceramic glass.
Cookware material
14 ENGLISH
When you set the Power limitation function to
more than 6000 W, the power of the hob is
divided between its left and right side.
• 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.
