5. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

INDUCTION COOKING ZONES
For induction cooking zones a strong
electro-magnetic field creates the heat in
the cookware very quickly.
5.1 Cookware for induction
cooking zones
Use the induction cooking zones
with correct cookware.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled
steel, stainless steel, the bottom made
of multi-layer (with correct mark from a
manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass,
glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an induction
hob if ...
• ... some 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 possi-
ble.
5.2 Use of the cooking zones
IMPORTANT
Put the cookware on the cross which is
on the surface that you cook. Cover the
cross fully. The magnetic part of the bot-
tom of the cookware must be 125 mm
minimum. Induction cooking zones adapt
to the dimension of the bottom of the
cookware automatically. You can cook
with the large cookware on two cooking
zones at the same time.
comes on, because the sound
, comes on. The
5.3 The noises during operation
If you can hear
• crack noise: cookware is made of dif-
ferent materials (Sandwich construc-
tion).
• whistle sound: you use one or more
cooking zones with high power levels
and the cookware is made of different
materials (Sandwich construction).
• humming: you use high power levels.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not re-
fer to appliance malfunction.

5.4 Energy saving

How to save energy
• If it is possible, always put the lids on
the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone be-
fore you start it.
• Use the residual heat to keep the food
warm or to melt it.
The cooking zone efficiency
The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The cook-
ware with a smaller diameter than the
minimum receives only a part of the pow-
er generated by the cooking zone. For the
minimum diameters see the Technical In-
formation chapter.
5.5 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 op-
eration.
