Suitability test
Cookware is suitable for induction cooking, if
…
• ... a little water on an induction cooking
zone set to the highest heat setting is heat-
ed within a short time.
• ... a magnet sticks to the bottom of the
cookware.
Certain cookware can make noises
when being used on induction cooking
zones. These noises are not a fault in the
appliance and do not affect operation in
any way.
Bottom of the cookware
The bottom of the cookware should be as
thick and level as possible.
Pan size
Induction cooking zones adapt automatically
to the size of the bottom of the cookware up
to a certain point. However the magnetic part
of the bottom of the cookware must have a
minimum diameter depending on the size of
the cooking zone.
