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.
Refer to "Technical data".
The 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.
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.
