Suitable Kitchenware For Induction Cooking Zones - Electrolux EHD 8680 X Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

Suitable Kitchenware for
Induction Cooking Zones
Pots and Pans
• In principle all pots and pans with magnetic bases
are suitable. These are steel, steel-enamel as well
as cast-iron pots and pans.
• High grade steel pans with a mixed metal base
(sandwich base, e.g. Tefal with an aluminium/cop-
per base) are suitable for induction only if the man-
ufacturer has expressly marked them as such. In
that case they have a ferromagnetic percentage in
the base.
• If you wish to use a special type of pan (e.g. a pres-
sure cooker, simmering pan, wok, etc.), please ob-
serve the manufacturer's instructions.
• Aluminium, copper, brass, stainless steel pots and
pans (unless specifically designated as suitable for
induction), glass, ceramic or porcelain are not suit-
able for induction cooking zones. The cooking
zone reacts as if it were being used without a pot
or pan: Error code f.
Look for the label: Suitable for induction!
Suitability Test
If you are not sure if a pot or pan is suitable for cook-
ing or frying on the induction cooking zone you can
check this as follows:
• Place a pot filled with a little water (3-5 mm filling
height) on the cooking zone.
Switch the cooking zone to full power (switch set-
ting 9).
Caution: The pan base of suitable kitchenware
heats up within a few seconds!
• You can also check this with a magnet. If it remains
fixed to the base the pan is suitable for induction
cooking zones.
Pan Size
Up to a certain limit the induction cooking zone
adapts itself to the size of the pan base diameter.
However, the pan base diameter must be of a mini-
mum size, depending on the size of the cooking
zone.
Diameter of the cooking zone 14,5 cm:
Diameter of the pan base at least 12 cm
Diameter of the cooking zone 18 cm:
Diameter of the pan base at least 14,5 cm
Diameter of the cooking zone 21 cm:
Diameter of the pan base at least 18 cm
Note:
Please note the diameter of the pan base when
buying new pans, since the manufacturers usually
specify the top edge diameter of their pans.

Automatic Pan Sensing
The induction cooking zone does not function when
unsuitable pans are used.
If the cooking zone is switched on without a suit-
able pan on it f flashes in the digital display of
the cooking zone.
After about 10 minutes the cooking zone switches it-
self off automatically. _ appears in the digital dis-
play.
Also when overheating occurs (e.g. heating up a pan
that is empty) or with faults in the electronics the dis-
play _ is lit. The cooking zone switches itself off au-
tomatically.
To be able to use it again the cooking zone must
have been first switched off and then reset to the re-
quired heat setting.
