Use the induction cooking zones with
suitable cookware.
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.
The bottom of the cookware must be
as thick and flat as possible.
Ensure pan bases are clean and dry
before placing on the hob surface.
Cookware dimensions
Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of
the bottom of the cookware automatically.
The cooking zone efficiency is related to the
diameter of the cookware. The cookware with a
diameter smaller than the minimum receives only a
part of the power generated by the cooking zone.

THE NOISES DURING OPERATION
If you can hear:
•
crack noise: cookware is made of different
materials (sandwich construction).
•
whistle sound: you use the cooking zone with
high power level and the cookware is made of
different materials (sandwich construction).
•
humming: you use high power level.
•
clicking: electric switching occurs.
•
hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not refer to
hob malfunction.
ÖKO TIMER (ECO TIMER)
To save energy, the heater of the cooking zone
deactivates before the count down timer sounds.
The difference in the operation time depends on the
heat setting level and the length of the cooking
operation.
EXAMPLES OF COOKING APPLICATIONS
The correlation between the heat setting of a zone
and its consumption of power is not linear. When
you increase the heat setting, it is not proportional
to the increase of the consumption of power. It
means that a cooking zone with the medium heat
setting uses less than a half of its power.
