INDUCTION COOKING ZONES
For induction cooking zones a strong electro-
magnetic field creates the heat in the cookware
very quickly.
Cookware for induction cooking
zones
Important! 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 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
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 refer
to appliance malfunction.
Energy saving
How to save energy
• If it is possible, always put the lids on the
cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone before you
start it.
• Use the residual heat to keep the food warm
or to melt it.
The cooking zone efficiency
The cooking zone efficiency is related to the
diameter of the cookware. The cookware with a
smaller diameter than the minimum receives
only a part of the power generated by the
cooking zone. For the minimum diameters see
the Technical Information chapter.
The Examples of cooking
applications
The relation between the heat setting and the
cooking zone consumption of power is not
linear.
