INDUCTION COOKING

HOW INDUCTION COOKING WORKS
An induction coil is beneath
the ceramic glass cooking
surface. This generates
magnetic fields, which act
directly on the base of the
pots and pans as
compared to methods that
first heat the ceramic glass. This means that the
base of the pan is immediately heated up,
saving time and energy.
Since the heat required for cooking is generated
directly in the base of the pan, the Cooking Zone
itself warms up only slightly. The cooktop becomes
hot from the heat from the base of the pan.
NOTE: If there is no pot or pan on the cooking
zone, there is no energy transfer (heating up).
This prevents the Cooking Zones being switched
on and becoming hot accidentally.
SELECTING COOKWARE
The magnetic Cooking Zone sensors located below the cooktop surface require the use of cookware
made with magnetic material in order to start the heating process on any of the Cooking Zones.
When purchasing pans, look for cookware specifically labeled by the manufacturer for use with
induction cooktops.
POTS AND PANS
• In principle, all pots and pans with magnetic
bases are suitable. These include steel, steel-
enamel, as well as cast-iron pots and pans.
• High grade steel pans with a mixed metal base
(sandwich base, e.g. Tefal
aluminum/copper base) are suitable for
induction only if the manufacturer has
expressly marked them as such. In that case
they have a magnetic material in the base.
• If you wish to use a special type of pan (e.g., a
pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok), please
follow the manufacturer's instructions and do
not use a very thin pan.
NOTE: Some cookware can produce noises
when used on induction cooking zones. This is
not a fault in the cooktop, and its function will not
be impaired in any way as a result.

IMPORTANT:
• Remove all tape and packaging wrap before
using the appliance. Destroy the carton and
plastic bags after unpacking the appliance.
Never allow children to play with packaging
materials.
• Electromagnetic fields can affect electronic
circuits and interfere with portable radios
and phones.
• Do not put magnetically active objects (e.g.,
credit cards, computer diskettes, cassettes) on
or near the ceramic glass surface while one or
more induction cooking zones are in use!
• Do not put any metallic objects (e.g., spoons,
pan lids) on the Cooking Zones as they can
become hot when the Cooking Zones are
in use.
SUITABILITY TEST:
If you are not sure if a pot or pan is suitable for
use with your induction cooktop, you can find out
with a few simple tests:
• Place a pot filled with a little water (1/8ʺ–1/4ʺ)
on the Cooking Zone. Set the Cooking Zone to
full power (power level 9).
CAUTION
The pan base of suitable kitchenware
heats up within a few seconds! Water
should boil rapidly.
• You can also check
cookware suitability
with a magnet. If the
magnet remains fixed to
the base of the pan, the
pan is suitable for
induction cooking.
