Before using the oven for the first time
In this section, you can find out what you must do before using
your oven to prepare food for the first time. First read the
section on
Safety information
.

Cleaning the accessories
Before you use the accessories for the first time, clean them
thoroughly with hot soapy water and a soft dish cloth.
Cooking with induction
Your hob is equipped with induction hotplates.
Benefits of cooking with induction
When cooking with induction, heat is generated directly in the
base of the pan. The hotplate does not become hot. This
provides many benefits for you:
■
Time saving when boiling and frying. Cookware is heated
directly. There is no heat loss.
■
Energy-saving.
■
Easier care and cleaning. Spilled food does not burn onto the
hob so quickly.
■
Controlled supply of heat and increased safety. Induction
creates or interrupts the supply of heat immediately after
each use.
Heating is interrupted when you remove the cookware from
the hotplate, even if the hotplate is still switched on.
Cookware
Suitable ovenware
Only use ferromagnetic (magnetisable) cookware
made of enamelled steel, cast iron or special induction
cookware made of stainless steel.
Unsuitable cookware
Do not use any cookware made of
normal stainless steel, glass, ceramic material, copper or
aluminium.
Checking cookware
Your cookware is suitable if the base of a pot or pan attracts a
magnet. Pan manufacturers usually indicate whether cookware
is suitable for induction cooking.
Notes concerning the base of cookware
The composition of the base of cookware can affect the
cooking result. The material used for the base of cookware
should distribute heat evenly. A sandwich base made of
stainless steel, for example, is ideal.
Pan detection
Each hotplate has a lower limit for pan detection. Always use
the hotplate which best corresponds to the diameter of the pan.
Normal operating noises from the hob
Induction technology is based on the creation of
electromagnetic fields. These fields create heat directly on the
base of the cookware. Depending on how they are
manufactured, pots and pans can produce a wide range of
noises or vibrations. This is normal.
The noises may become less noticeable or disappear entirely if
you reduce the heat setting.
Setting the hob
This section familiarises you with how to make settings on your
hob. The table shows heat settings and cooking times for
various meals.
Switching the hob on and off

#

#
symbol until the indicator above the main switch
