The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the
material from which the base of the cookware is made
contains aluminum, for example. This may mean that
the cookware will not become sufficiently hot or even
that it will not be detected.
Unsuitable cookware
Do not ever use adapter plates for induction or cookware
made of:

Properties of the base of the cookware
The properties of the base of the cookware can affect the
cooking result. Cookware made of materials that
distribute heat evenly, such as saucepans with a stainless
steel sandwich base, save time and energy.
Cookware with a completely flat base works best. If the
base of the cookware is uneven or embossed, this will
reduce the heat supplied.
No cookware/cookware of an unsuitable size
Always place cookware inside the usable area of the
cooking surface. If the cookware is not positioned
correctly, is made of an unsuitable material or is not the
right size, the
¢
symbol appears next to the cooking zone
display. Move the cookware or try again with a different
pot or pan.
If the active cookware is lifted from the cooking surface
for longer than 30 seconds, the cooking zone
automatically switches off.
Empty cookware or cookware with a thin base
Do not heat empty cookware and do not use cookware
that has a thin base. The cooktop is equipped with an
internal safety system. However, an empty item of
cookware can heat up so quickly that the automatic
switch-off function has no time to react and an
excessively high temperature is reached. This could melt
the base of the cookware and damage the glass plate. If
this happens, switch off the cooktop and do not touch the
cookware. If the cooktop no longer works once it has
cooled down, contact Customer Support.
Pot detection
The cooktop uses the ferromagnetic diameter and
material of the base of the cookware to automatically
detect the position, size and shape of the cookware
being used. Cookware with a base measuring 3½" to
13½" (90 to 340 mm) in diameter is suitable for use.
Note:
The cooking zone displays may show a size and
shape that is different from the cookware actually being
used. This is normal and does not affect the functioning
of the hob. For more information, see the section entitled
