HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING! Refer to Safety
chapters.
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
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.
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.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not refer
to hob malfunction.
Examples of cooking
applications
The relation between the heat setting and
the cooking zone consumption of power is
not linear. When you increase the heat
