5. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to "Safety information"
chapter.
INDUCTION COOKING ZONES
For induction cooking zones a strong
electro-magnetic field creates the heat in
the cookware very quickly.
5.1 Cookware for induction
cooking zones
Use the induction cooking zones
with correct cookware.
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 possi-
ble.
Cookware dimensions: induction cook-
ing zones adapt to the dimension of the
bottom of the cookware automatically to
some limit.
Cookware dimensions: induction cooking
zones adapt to the dimension of the bot-
tom of the cookware automatically to
some limit. But the minimum diameter of
the magnetic part of the bottom of the
cookware is in relation to the diameter of
the cooking zone:
Cooking
zone
Minimum diameter

Front 120 mm
Rear 145 mm
5.2 The noises during operation
If you can hear
• crack noise: cookware is made of dif-
ferent materials (Sandwich construc-
tion).
• whistle sound: 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 re-
fer to appliance malfunction.
5.3 Energy saving
• If it is possible, always put the
lids on the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking
zone before you start it.
• Stop the cooking zones before
the end of the cooking time to
use residual heat.
• The bottom of pans and cook-
ing zones must have the same
dimension.
