7. 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.
• 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.
• In order to avoid scratches, do not
slide or rub the pot across the ceramic
glass.
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.
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.
• For both safety reasons and optimal
cooking results, do not use cookware
larger than indicated in "Cooking
zones specification". Avoid keeping
cookware close to the control panel
during the cooking session. This
might impact the functioning of the
control panel or accidentally activate
hob functions.
Refer to "Technical data".
7.2 The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of
different materials (a sandwich
construction).
ENGLISH 15

• 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.
7.3 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.
7.4 Examples of cooking
applications
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.

function
To achieve the best results with the
function:
• Start the function when the hob is cold
(no manual heat up of the cookware is
necessary).
• Use cookware made of stainless steel
with sandwich bottom.
• Do not use cookware with
embossment at the center of the
bottom.
Examples of cooking applications for
the function
The data in the tables shows examples
of food for each heat setting level. The
amount, thickness, quality and
temperature ( i.e. frozen ) of the food
have an influence on the correct heat
setting level. Choose the heat setting
level and adjustment that are the best for
your cooking habits and pans.
Eggs Heat setting level
Omlette, fried eggs 1 - 3
Scrambled eggs 4 - 6
Fish Heat setting level
Filet of fish, fish fingers, seafood 4 - 6
Meat Heat setting level
Cutlet, chicken breast, turkey breast 1 - 3
Hamburger, meatball 2 - 4
Escalope, filet, steak medium / well done,
fried sausages, minced meat
4 - 6
Steak rare 7 - 9
Vegetables Heat setting level
Fried potatoes, raw 1 - 3
Fried potatoes patty 4 - 6
Vegetables 4 - 6
Different sizes of pans can
cause different heat up
times. Heavy pans store
more heat than the light
pans but take more time to
heat up.
7.6 Correct pans for Fry Assist
function
Use only pans with flat bottom. To check
if the pan is correct:
1. Put your pan upside down.
2. Put a ruler on the bottom of the pan.
3. Try to put a coin of 1, 2 or 5 Euro
Cent (or with similar thickness)
between the ruler and the bottom of
the pan.
ENGLISH 17

a. The pan is incorrect if you can
put the coin between the ruler
and the pan.
b. The pan is correct if you cannot
put the coin between the ruler
and the pan.
