distance front and back as shown but the product has
also been certified to be installed with no clearance
between the rear edge of the cooktop glass and rear

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
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 multilayer (with correct
mark from a manufacturer).
• Incorrect: aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic,
porcelain.
Find the right cookware
Cookware is correct for an induction hob if:
• Only magnetic pots and pans work with induction.
• Check to see if your cookware is compatible: Place a
magnet on the bottom of your pot or pan - if it clings
firmly, the cookware will work with your cooktop.
• Choose the right size pot or pan for the right cooking
zone.
Magnet Sticks
Cookware base material has
good magnetic characteristics
Magnet Falls
Cookware base material is
non-magnetic
• Water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest
heat setting.
• A magnet pulls 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:
• A cracking noise: cookware is made of different
materials.
• Whistle sound: one or more cooking zones with high
power levels and the cookware is made of different
materials.
• Humming: high power levels in use.
• Clicking: electric switching occurs.
• Hissing, buzzing: the fan is in operation.
The noises are normal and do not refer to appliance
malfunction. If unfamiliar with induction units please first
compare the operating sounds of a demonstration model
at your retailer before calling service. If a service call is
placed and the sounds are normal you will be charged for
the visit.
ENVIRONMENT
Energy saving
• If it is possible, always put the lids on the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone before you start it.
