For induction cooking zones a strong electro-
magnetic field creates the heat in the cookware
very quickly.
Cookware for induction cooking zones
Important! Use the induction cooking zones
with correct cookware.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel,
stainless steel, the bottom made of multi-lay-
er (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: induction cooking
zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of
the cookware automatically to some limit.
The noises during operation
If you can hear
• crack noise: cookware is made of different
materials (Sandwich construction).

Use to:
• whistle sound: you use one or more cooking
zones with high power levels and the cook-
ware is made of different materials (Sand-
wich 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
appliance malfunction.
Energy saving
How to save energy
• If it is possible, always put the lids on the
cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone before you
start it.
• Use the residual heat to keep the food warm
or to melt it.
The cooking zone efficiency
The cooking zone efficiency is related to the di-
ameter of the cookware. The cookware with a
smaller diameter than the minimum receives on-
ly a part of the power generated by the cooking
zone. For the minimum diameters see the Tech-
nical Information chapter.
