selected heat setting and the reduced
heat setting.
• Wait until the display stops flashing or
reduce the heat setting of the cooking
zone selected last. The cooking zones will
continue operating with the reduced heat
setting. Change the heat settings of the
cooking zones manually, if necessary.
6. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
6.1 Cookware
For induction cooking zones a
strong electro-magnetic field
creates the heat in the cookware
very quickly.
Use the induction cooking zones with
suitable cookware.
• The bottom of the cookware must be as
thick and flat as possible.
• Ensure pan bases are clean and dry
before placing on the hob surface.
• In order to avoid scratches, do not slide or
rub the pot across the ceramic glass.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel,
stainless steel, multi-layer bottom (with a
correct marking from a manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass,
glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is suitable for an induction hob
if:
• water boils very quickly on a zone set to
the highest heat setting.
• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the
cookware.
Cookware dimensions
• Induction cooking zones adapt to the
dimension of the bottom of the cookware
automatically.
• The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The
cookware with a diameter smaller than the
minimum receives only a part of the
power generated by the cooking zone.
• For both safety reasons and optimal
cooking results, do not use cookware
larger than indicated in "Cooking zones
specification". Avoid keeping cookware
close to the control panel during the
cooking session. This might impact the
functioning of the control panel or
accidentally activate hob functions.
Refer to "Technical data".
6.2 The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of different
materials (a sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you use a cooking zone
with a high power level and the cookware
is made of different materials (a sandwich
construction).
• humming: you use a high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not indicate
any malfunction.
6.3 Examples of cooking
applications
The correlation between the heat setting of a
zone and its consumption of power is not
linear. When you increase the heat setting, it
is not proportional to the increase of the
consumption of power. It means that a
cooking zone with the medium heat setting
uses less than a half of its power.
The data in the table is for
guidance only.
