7. HOB - 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.

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.

7.3 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.

7.4 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.

7.5 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.
