Be careful with enamelled sheet-steel pans. These can be damaged if they are
used for induction cooking, particularly if their bases are too thin.
With enamelled sheet-steel pans:
■
the enamel may chip (the enamel comes loose from the steel), if you switch
the hob on at a high setting when the pan is (too) dry;
■
the base of the pan may warp - due, for example, to overheating or to the
use of too high a power level.
Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded base can interfere
with the operation of the overheating protection, so that the appliance
becomes too hot. This may lead to the glass top cracking and the pan base
melting.
Damage arising from the use of unsuitable pans or from boiling dry is excluded
from the guarantee.
Noise in the base of the pan
While cooking, you will be able to hear a rattling noise in the base of the pan.
This is harmless. The noise is due to the high power of the cooking zone having
an effect on the base of the pan. Reduce the rattling noise by selecting a lower
setting.
Pressure cookers
Induction cooking is very suitable for cooking in pressure cookers. The cooking
zone reacts very quickly, and so the pressure cooker is quickly up to pressure.
As soon as you switch a cooking zone off, the cooking process stops
immediately.
