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:
• For the flexible zone you can use up
to three pots. If the maximum loading
for the phase is exceeded the
function activates. The activation of
the function depends on the
cookware size and number. The
function decreases the heat setting
for the pots to the highest possible on
the phase. The cooking zone symbol
turns gray and the heat setting
changes between two levels. The
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.
• 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 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.
