7. HOB - HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
7.1 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.
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.

7.3 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.
7.4 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.
7.5 Simplified cooking guide
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.
The data in the table is for guidance only.
