8. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
8.1 Cookware
For induction cooking zones a strong
electro-magnetic field creates the heat in
the cookware very quickly.
Use the induction cooking zones with suitable
cookware.
• To prevent overheating and improve the
performance of the zones, the cookware
must be as thick and flat as possible.
• Ensure cookware bases are clean and dry
before placing on the hob surface.
• Always be careful no to slide or rub the
cookware on the edges and corners of the
glass as it may chip or damage the glass
surface.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel,
stainless steel, multi-layer bottom (with a
correct marking from a manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass,
glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is suitable for an induction hob
if:
• 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
• 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.
• For both safety reasons and optimal
cooking results, do not use cookware
. The
larger than indicated in "Cooking zones
specification". Avoid keeping cookware
close to the control panel during the
cooking session. This might impact the
functioning of the control panel or
accidentally activate hob functions.
Refer to "Technical data".
Steam Vented Lids
To further optimize the cooking sessions
alongside the hood you can use the special
Steam Vented Lids with your cookware. The
lids are designed to direct the steam
produced inside the pot towards the hood,
minimizing unwanted cooking smells and
excessive humidity in the kitchen. The lids
are available to buy separately in several
sizes to fit most common cookware types. For
more information visit our website.

• crack noise: cookware is made of different
materials (a sandwich construction).
