Cookware - Miele KM 6381 Operating And Installation Instructions

Cookware

Suitable cookware includes:
- Stainless steel cookware with a mag-
netic base
- Enamelled steel cookware
- Cast iron cookware
Unsuitable cookware includes:
- Stainless steel cookware without a
magnetic base
- Aluminium or copper cookware
- Glass, ceramic or earthenware cook-
ware
To test whether cookware is induction-
compatible, hold a magnet to the base.
If the magnet sticks, the cookware is
generally suitable.
If unsuitable cookware is used, the
 symbol flashes alternately with the set
power level.
Please be aware that the properties of
the cookware base can affect the even-
ness with which the food heats up (e.g.
when making pancakes).
- To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose cookware with a suit-
able base diameter (see "Overview –
Cooking zone data"). If the cookware
is too small, the  symbol flashes al-
ternately with the set power level.
- Use only cookware with smooth
bases. Rough bases can scratch the
ceramic glass.
- Always lift cookware to move it. This
will help prevent scratching.
- Please note that the maximum dia-
meter quoted by manufacturers often
refers to the diameter of the top rim
of the pots and pans. The diameter of
the base (generally smaller) is more
important.
- Where possible, use pans with vertic-
ally straight sides. If a pan has angu-
lar sides, induction also acts on the
sides of the pan. The sides of the pan
may discolour or the coating may
peel off.
