Suitability test
Cookware is suitable for induction cooking, if …
• ... a little water on an induction cooking zone set to the highest heat setting is heated
within a short time.
• ... a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.
Certain cookware can make noises when being used on induction cooking zones. These
noises are not a fault in the appliance and do not affect operation in any way.
Bottom of the cookware
The bottom of the cookware should be as thick and level as possible.
Pan size
Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the bottom of the cookware up
to a certain point. However the magnetic part of the bottom of the cookware must have
a minimum diameter depending on the size of the cooking zone. Cookware with a bottom
with a diameter of less than 12cm is not suitable.
Tips on energy saving
Place cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on.
If possible, always place a lid on the cookware.
