HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

IMPORTANT!
INDUCTION COOKING ZONES
For induction cooking zones a strong electro-magnetic
field creates the heat in the cookware very quickly.
Cookware for induction cooking zones
WARNING!
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
'induction-ready' mark from the 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.
Find the right cookware
Only magnetic pots and pans work with induction.
Check to see if your cookware is compatible:
Place a magnet on the bottom of your pot or pan - if it
clings firmly, the cookware will work with your cooktop.
Choose the right size pot or pan for the right cooking
zone.
IMPORTANT!
The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and
flat as possible.
Use of the cooking zones
IMPORTANT!
MAGNET STICKS

Cookware base material
has good magnetic
characteristics.
MAGNET FALLS

Cookware base material
is non-magnetic.
Put the cookware on the cross which is on the surface
that you cook. Cover the cross fully. The magnetic part of
the bottom of the cookware must be 125mm minimum.
Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the
bottom of the cookware automatically. You can cook
with the large cookware on two cooking zones at the
same time.
The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of different materials
(Sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you are using one or more cooking
zones with high power levels and the cookware is
made of different materials (Sandwich construction).
• humming: you are using high power levels.
• clicking: electric switching is occuring.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan is operating.
The noises are normal and do not refer to any defects.
If unfamiliar with induction units please first compare
the operating sounds of a demonstration model at your
retailer before calling service. If a service call is placed
and the sounds are normal you will be charged for the
visit.
Energy saving
ENVIRONMENT
HOW TO SAVE ENERGY
• If it is possible, always put the lids on the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone before you start it.
• Use the residual heat to keep the food warm or to
melt it.
IMPORTANT!
THE COOKING ZONE EFFICIENCY
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. For the minimum
diameters see the Technical data chapter.
