Hob - 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
12
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.
