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/
copper base) are suitable for induction only if the
manufacturer has expressly marked them as
such. In that case they have a ferromagnetic per-
centage in the base.
• If you wish to use a special type of pan (e.g. a
pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok, etc.),
please observe the manufacturer's instructions.
• Aluminium, copper, brass, stainless steel pots
and pans (unless especially designated as suitale
for induction), glass, ceramic or porcelain are not
suitable 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 coo-
king 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.
For example: Diameter of the cooking zone 21 cm
For
example:Diameter of the pan base at least 18 cm
For example:
Diameter of the cooking zone 14,5 cm
For
example:Diameter of the pan base at least 12 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 suitable
pan on it f flashes in the digital display of the coo-
king zone.
After about 10 minutes the cooking zone switches
itself off automatically. j appears in the digital dis-
play.
Also when overheating occurs (e.g. heating up a pan
cooked empty) or with faults in the electronics the
display j is lit. The cooking zone switches itself off
automatically.
To be able to switch it on again the cooking zone
must have been first switched off and then set to the
required stage anew.
