HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Use the induction cooking zones with suitable cookware.
Put the cookware on the cross which is on the cooking
surface. Cover the cross fully. The magnetic part of the bottom
of the cookware must be 120mm minimum. Recommended
size for optimum performance is up to 240mm. Induction
cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of
the cookware automatically. You can cook with the large
cookware on two cooking zones at the same time.
Cookware for induction cooking zones
In induction cooking a powerful electromagnetic field
generates an almost instant heat inside the cookware.
Cookware material:
• C orrect: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless
steel, a multi-layer bottom (marked as correct by a
manufacturer, example of marking included as per
below).
• I ncorrect: aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic,
porcelain.
• C ookware is correct for an induction hob if water boils
very quickly on a zone set to the highest heat setting
or;
• A magnet pulls on to the bottom of the cookware.
Cookware which has a thick and flat bottom gives best
cooking results.
Operating noises
If you can hear:
• C racking noise: cookware is made of different
materials (Sandwich construction).
• W histling: you use one or more cooking zones with
high power levels and the cookware is made of
different materials (Sandwich construction).
• H umming: you use high power levels.
• C licking: electric switching occurs.

If unfamiliar with induction units please first compare the
operating sounds of a demonstration model at your retailer
before calling service. If a service call is placed and the
sounds are normal you will be charged for the visit.

time to use residual heat.

cooking zones must have the same dimension
Öko Timer (Eco Timer)

switches itself off earlier than count down timer signal.
The heating time reduction depends on cooking level and
cooking time.
