For induction cooking zones a strong elec-
tro-magnetic field creates the heat in the
cookware very quickly.
Cookware for induction cooking zones
Important! 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 manufac-
turer).
• 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 possible.
The noises during operation
If you can hear
• crack noise: cookware is made of differ-
ent materials (Sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you use one or more
cooking zones with high power levels and
the cookware is made of different materi-
als (Sandwich construction).
• humming: you use high power levels.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.

Keep warm the food you
cooked
1
1 - 2 Hollandaise sauce, melt:
butter, chocolate, gelatine
1 - 2 Solidify: fluffy omelettes,
baked eggs
2 - 3 Simmer rice and milkbased
dishes, heating up ready-
cooked meals
3 - 4 Steam vegetables, fish,
meat
The noises are normal and do not refer
to appliance malfunction.
Energy saving
How to save energy
• If it is possible, always put the lids on the
cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone before
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 cookware
with a smaller diameter than the minimum
receives only a part of the power generated
by the cooking zone. For the minimum di-
ameters see the Technical Information
chapter.
The Examples of cooking applications
The relation between the heat setting and
the cooking zone consumption of power is
not linear.
When you increase the heat setting it is not
proportional to the increase of the cooking
zone consumption of power.
It means that the cooking zone with the
medium heat setting uses less than a half of
its power.
The data in the table is for guidance
only.
