HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Use the induction cooking zones with correct cookware.
Cookware for induction cooking zones
For induction cooking zones a strong electro-magnetic field creates the heat in the cook-
ware very quickly.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless steel, the bottom made of multi-layer
(with correct mark from a manufacturer).
• 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 automatically to some limit.
The noises during operation
If you can hear
• crack noise: cookware is made of different materials (Sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you use one or more cooking zones with high power levels and the cook-
ware 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 appliance malfunction.
Energy saving
• If it is possible, always put the lids on the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone before you start it.
Öko Timer (Eco Timer)
To save the energy, the heater of the cooking zone deactivates before the count down timer
signal. The difference in the operation time is depends of the heat setting level and the time
you cook.
