phases in the hob (see illustration).
• Each phase has a maximum electricity
loading of 3700 W.
• The function divides the power
between cooking zones connected to
the same phase.
• The function activates when the total
electricity loading of the cooking zones
connected to a single phase exceeds
3700 W.
• The function decreases the power to
the other cooking zones connected to
the same phase.

5. HINTS AND TIPS

5.1 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.

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.
Cookware dimensions
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
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.
The bottom of the cookware
must be as thick and flat as
possible.
• The heat setting display of the reduced
zones changes between two levels.
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.
5.2 The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of
different materials (sandwich
construction).
• whistle sound: you use one or more
cooking zones with high power levels
and the cookware is made of different
materials (sandwich construction).
• humming: you use high power levels.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not
refer to hob malfunction.
5.3 Energy saving
• If it is possible, always put the lids on
the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone
before you start it.
