en Suitable cookware
Lift lids as infrequently as possible.
¡ When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.
Use a glass lid.
¡ You can see into the pan through a glass lid
without having to lift it.
Use pots and pans with flat bases.
¡ Uneven bases increase energy consumption.
Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food.
¡ Large items of cookware containing little food need
more energy to heat up.
Cook with only a little water.
¡ The more water that is contained in the cookware,
the more energy is required to heat it up.
Turn down to a lower power level early on. Use a suit-
able ongoing power level.
¡ If you use an ongoing power level that is too high,
you will waste energy.
4  Suitable cookware
Cookware that is suitable for induction cooking must
have a ferromagnetic base, i.e. it must be attracted by
a magnet. The base must also match the size of the

Materials
Stainless steel cookware in a sandwich
design that distributes the heat well.
Ferromagnetic cookware made of enamelled
steel, cast iron or special induction cookware
made of stainless steel.
The base is not fully ferromagnetic.
Cookware bases with aluminium content.
Cookware made from normal thin steel,
glass, clay, copper or aluminium.
Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam pro-
duced during cooking.
¡ The lower the fan speed, the less energy is con-
sumed.
If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select a
higher fan speed in good time.
¡ The odours are distributed around the room less.
Switch the appliance off when you are not using it.
¡
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation when cook-
ing.
¡ The appliance works more efficiently and with fewer

cooking zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking
zone, place this on the cooking zone with the next
smallest diameter.
4.1 Size and characteristics of the cookware
To correctly detect the cookware, take the size and the
material of the cookware into consideration. All cook-
ware bases must be perfectly flat and smooth.
You can use Cookware test to check whether your
cookware is suitable. You can find more information
about this under 
→ "Cookware test", Page 19.
Properties
This cookware distributes the heat evenly,
heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be
detected easily.
This cookware heats up quickly and ensures
that it can be detected easily.
If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the
base of the cookware, only the area that is
ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat
is not distributed evenly.
These reduce the ferromagnetic area, which
means that less power is emitted to the
cookware. This cookware may not be suffi-
ciently detected or may not be detected at
all, and therefore does not heat sufficiently.
