Operation
Cookware for induction hobs
Cookware for induction cooking zones must be made of metal
and have magnetic properties. The base must be sufficiently
large.
Only use pots with a base suitable for induction.
This is how to establish the suitability of a pot
Conduct the magnet test described below or make sure that the
pot bears the symbol for suitability for cooking with induction
current.
Magnet test
Move a magnet towards the
base of your cookware. If it is
attracted, you can use the
cookware on the induction
hob.
Important
When using pans suitable for induction from certain manufactu-
rers, noises may occur which are attributable to the design of
these pans.
Wrong: the base of the pan is curved. The electronic unit cannot
determine the termperature correctly.
Right: suitable cookware!
How to cut power consumption
The following are a few useful hints to help you cut your consump-
tion of energy and use your new induction hob and the cookwa-
re efficiently.
· The base of your cooking pots should be the same size as
the cooking zone.
· When buying cooking pots, note that it is frequently the
diameter of the top of the pot that it indicated. This is usually
larger than the base of a pot.
· Pressure cookers are particularly low on energy and time
required thanks to the pressure and the fact that they are
tightly closed. Short cooking times mean that vitamins are
preserved.
· Always make sure that there is sufficient fluid in your pressure
cooker since the cooking zone and the cooker may be
damaged as a result of overheating if the pressure cooker
boils dry.
· Always close cooking pots with a suitable lid.
· Use the right pot for the quantity of food you are cooking.
A large pot which is hardly filled will use up a lot of energy.
Power settings
The heating power of the cooking zones can be set at various
power levels. In the chart you will find examples of how to use
each setting.
A higher power level may need to be selected for cooking pots
without a lid.
Residual heat display
The glass ceramic hob is equipped with an H as a residual
heat display.
As long as the H lights up after the cooking zone has been swit-
ched off, the residual heat can be used for melting food or for
keeping food warm.
The cooking zone may still be hot when the letter H no longer
lights up. Risk of burns!
The glass ceramic is not directly heated in the case of an
induction cooking zone; it is only heated up by heat reflected by
the pan.
