Cookware

Suitable cookware

Only cookware with a full magnetic base is suitable for use with the induction hob. 
This can be checked in the following ways:

A magnet sticks anywhere on the base of the cookware.

The cookware can be selected in the display and be repositioned or moved on the
hob without the «Cookware not induction-compatible» message appearing.

Do not heat any unsuitable cookware using aids such as metal rings and the like.
This can damage the hob.

Coated cookware

Coated cookware may be operated above power level «7» provided that the bottom of
the pan is completely covered with liquid.
– The coating may otherwise become overheated and damaged.

For frying, do not use a higher power level than «7».

Never use AutoPowerPlus with coated frying pans. 

Noise during cooking

Cookware can make noise during cooking. This does not indicate any malfunction, nor
does it affect the functioning of the appliance in any way.

Noise depends on the cookware used. If the noise causes considerable disturb-
ance, it can help to change the cookware.

Noises when hotplate is switched off

The appliance can make clicking noises when the hotplate is switched off. This does not
indicate any malfunction, nor does it affect the functioning of the appliance in any way.
