6. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
6.1 Cookware
For induction cooking zones
a strong electro-magnetic
field creates the heat in the
cookware very quickly.
Use the induction cooking zones with
suitable 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.
• In order to avoid scratches, do not
slide or rub the pot across the ceramic
glass.
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.
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.
• For both safety reasons and optimal
cooking results, do not use cookware
larger than indicated in "Cooking
zones specification". Avoid keeping
cookware close to the control panel
during the cooking session. This
might impact the functioning of the
control panel or accidentally activate
hob functions.
Refer to "Technical data".
6.2 The noises during
operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of
different materials (a sandwich
construction).
• whistle sound: you use a cooking
zone with a high power level and the
cookware is made of different
materials (a sandwich construction).
• humming: you use a high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not
indicate any malfunction.
6.3 Hints & Tips for
SenseBoil®
The function works best for boiling water
and preparing potatoes.
It does not work with cast
iron and non-stick cookware,
e.g. with a ceramic coating.
Enamelled steel pots are
recommended for achieving
the best results while boiling
potatoes.
Check if the pot you chose is suitable for
SenseBoil® by monitoring the first
cooking session.
To use SenseBoil® efficiently follow the
advice below:
• Fill between half to three quarters of
the pot with cold tap water leaving 4
cm from the rim of the pot empty. Do
not use less than 1 or more than 5
litres of water. Make sure the total
weight of the water (or the water and
potatoes) ranges between 1-5 kg.
• If you want to cook potatoes, make
sure they are completely covered with
water, but remember to leave at least
one quarter of the pot empty.
