Operating the cooktop
49
– Aluminum or copper
– Glass, ceramics, earthenware,
stoneware
To test whether a pot or pan is suitable
for use on an induction cooktop, hold a
magnet to the base of the pan. If the
magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.
If an unsuitable pot or pan is used, the

symbol will flash alternately with the
selected power level in the burner
indicator.
The composition of the pan bottom can
affect the evenness of the cooking
results (e.g., when making pancakes).
– To make optimum use of the burners,
choose cookware with a suitable
base diameter (see “Overview“,
“burner data”). If the pot is too small,
it will not be detected and the

symbol will flash alternately with
the selected power level in the burner
indicator.
– Use only pots and pans with smooth
bases. Rough bases can scratch the
ceramic glass.
– Always lift the pans to move them.
This will help prevent scratching.
– Please note that the maximum
diameter quoted by manufacturers
often refers to the diameter of the top
rim of the pot or pan. The diameter of
the base (generally smaller) is more
important.
Energy saving tips
– Use a lid whenever possible to
minimize heat loss.
– For small quantities, select a small
pan. A small pan on a small burner
uses less energy than a large, only
partially filled pan on a large burner.
– Cook with as little water as possible.
– Once food has come to the boil or
the pan is hot for frying, reduce the
heat to a lower power setting.
