  Cooking with induction

▯

The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the 
material of which the base of the cookware is made 
contains aluminum, for example. This may mean that 
the cookware will not become sufficiently hot or even 
that it will not be detected.

Unsuitable Cookware

Do not ever use adapter plates for induction or cookware 
made of:

▯

Traditional stainless steel

▯

Glass

▯

Clay

Copper

Aluminum

Properties of the Base of the Cookware

The material(s) of which the base of the cookware is 
made can affect the cooking result. Using pots and pans 
made from materials that distribute heat evenly through 
them, such as stainless-steel pans with a three-layer 
base, saves time and energy.

Use cookware with a flat base; if the base of the 
cookware is uneven, this may impair the heat supply.

No Cookware on Cooking Zone/Cookware of an 
Unsuitable Size

If no cookware is placed on the selected cooking zone, if 
the cookware is made of an unsuitable material, or if it is 
not the right size for the cooking zone, the cooking zone 
indicator will start to flash. To stop the indicator from 
flashing, place suitable cookware on the cooking zone. If 
it is left flashing for more than 9 minutes, the cooking 
zone will automatically switch off.

Empty Pans or Pans with a Thin Base

Do not heat up empty pans, or use pans with a thin base. 
The cooktop is equipped with an internal safety system. 
However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the 
"automatic shut-off" function may not have time to react, 
and the pan may reach very high temperatures. The pan 
base could melt and damage the cooktop glass. In this 
case, do not touch the pan and switch the cooktop off. If 
the cooktop fails to work after it has cooled down, please 
contact Customer Support.

Pan Detection

Each cooking zone has a lower limit for pan detection. 
This depends on the diameter of the ferromagnetic area 
of the cookware and the material of which its base is 
made. For this reason, you should always use the cooking 
zone that best matches the diameter of the base of the 
pan.

Automatic Detection in Double and Triple Cooking 
Zones

These cooking zones can detect cookware of different 
sizes. Depending on the material and the properties of 
the cookware, the cooking zone automatically activates 
the singe, double or triple cooking zone, supplying the 
proper power to obtain good cooking results.
