HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Use the induction cooking zones with
suitable cookware.
COOKWARE FOR INDUCTION
COOKING ZONES
Important! For induction cooking zones a
strong electro-magnetic field creates the
heat in the cookware very quickly.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel,
stainless steel, the bottom made of multi-
layer (with correct mark from a manufac-
turer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass,
glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an induction
hob if …
• ... some 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.
Cookware dimensions: induction
cooking zones adapt to the dimension
of the bottom of the cookware auto-
matically to some limit.
OPERATING NOISES
If you can hear
• cracking noise: cookware is made of dif-
ferent materials (Sandwich construction).
• whistling: you use one or more cooking
zones with high power levels and the
cookware is made of different materials
(Sandwich construction).
• humming: you use high power levels.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not refer
to any defects.
ENERGY SAVING
• If possible, always put the lids on the
cookware.
•Put cookware on a cooking zone be-
fore you start it.
AUTOMATIC USE OF RESIDUAL HEAT
To save the energy, the heater of the
cooking zone switches itself off earlier
than count down timer signal. The
heating time reduction depends on
cooking time.
THE EXAMPLES OF COOKING
APPLICATIONS
The relation between the heat setting and
the cooking zone consumption of power is
not linear.
When you increase the heat setting it is not
proportional to the increase of the cooking
zone consumption of power.
It means that the cooking zone with the
medium heat setting uses less than a half of
its power.
The data in the table is for guidance
only.
