The bottom of the cookware
must be as thick and flat as
possible.
Ensure pan bases are clean
and dry before placing on the
hob surface.
Cookware dimensions
Induction cooking zones adapt to the
dimension of the bottom of the cookware
automatically.
The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The
cookware with a diameter smaller than the
minimum receives only a part of the power
generated by the cooking zone.
Refer to "Technical data".
The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of
different materials (a sandwich
construction).
Heat setting
- 1
1 - 2
1 - 2
2 - 3
3 - 4
4 - 5
Use to:
Keep cooked food warm.
Hollandaise sauce, melt: but‐
ter, chocolate, gelatine.
Solidify: fluffy omelettes, baked
eggs.
Simmer rice and milkbased
dishes, heat up ready-cooked
meals.
Steam vegetables, fish, meat.
Steam potatoes.
• whistle sound: you use a cooking zone
with a high power level and the
cookware is made of different materials
(a sandwich construction).
• humming: you use a high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not
indicate any malfunction.
Examples of cooking
applications
The correlation between the heat setting
of a zone and its consumption of power is
not linear. When you increase the heat
setting, it is not proportional to the
increase of the consumption of power. It
means that a cooking zone with the
medium heat setting uses less than a half
of its power.
The data in the table is for
guidance only.
