large quantities of water. If the power level is activated,
the cooking zones will run at extra high power. After
5 minutes, the power level is automatically switched to
level 9 .

setting. The bottom of the pan can overheat
due to the high power output.

5.3.5 Suitable cookware
INFO The heating and heat through time for the
base of the cookware as well as the cooking
results are significantly influenced by the
structure and material of the cookware.
Cookware with this symbol is suitable for
induction cooktops.
The cookware used for the induction cooktop
must be made of metal, feature magnetic
properties and possess a sufficient bottom
surface.
Suitable cookware is made of:

5.3 How the cooking zone works
An induction coil is located underneath an induction
cooktop. If the cooking zone is switched on, this coil
creates a magnetic field that acts directly on the base
of the pot thus heating it up. The cooking zone is only
indirectly heated up by the heat emitted by the pot.
Cooking zones with induction only work if the cookware
has a magnetisable base.
The induction automatically takes into account the size of
the used cookware which means that only the area in the
cooking zone covered by the base of the pot is heated up.
