• If the hob reaches the limit of maximum
available power (refer to the rating plate),
the power of the cooking zones will be
automatically reduced.
• The heat setting of the cooking zone
selected last is always prioritised. The
remaining power will be divided between
the previously activated cooking zones in
reverse order of selection.
• The heat setting display of the reduced
zones changes between the initially
6. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
6.1 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.

selected heat setting and the reduced heat
setting.
• Wait until the display stops flashing or
reduce the heat setting of the cooking
zone selected last. The cooking zones will
continue operating with the reduced heat
setting. Change the heat settings of the
cooking zones manually, if necessary.
• Induction cooking zones adapt to the
dimension of the bottom of the cookware
automatically. Refer to "Technical data" >
"Cooking zones specification" for correct
cookware dimensions. Place the cookware
in the centre of the selected cooking zone.
• The efficiency of a cooking zone is related
to the diameter of the cookware. For
optimal heat transfer use cookware with
bottom diameter similar to the size of the
cooking zone (i.e. the maximum cookware
diameter value in "Technical data" >
"Cooking zones specification").
– Cookware with a diameter smaller
than the size of a given cooking zone
receives only part of the power
generated by the cooking zone which
results in slower heating.
– For both safety reasons and optimal
cooking results, do not use cookware
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".
