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. 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.

side the cookware.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless steel, a multi-layer bottom (marked as
correct by a manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.

• ... 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.
