Cookware
Suitable cookware
Only cookware with a magnetic base is suitable for use with the induction
hob.
This can be tested in the following ways:
• A magnet sticks anywhere on the base of the cookware.
• On the hob, the power level set illuminates and
does not alternate with
the power level.
Energy-efficient cooking
For maximum energy efficiency and even heat distribution note the following:
• The base of the cookware must be clean, dry and smooth.
• Centre the cookware in the middle of the cooking zone.
• Use a well-fitting lid.
• Match the diameter of the cookware to the quantity of food to be cooked.
Coated cookware
• Coated cookware when empty may never be heated at a higher power
level than
.
– The coating may otherwise become overheated and damaged.
• For frying, do not use a higher power level than 9.
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.
Do not heat any unsuitable cookware using aids such as metal rings
and the like. This can damage the hob.
Never use PowerPlus with coated frying pans.
Noise depends on the cookware used. If the noise causes consid-
erable disturbance, it can help to change the cookware.
