Suitable cookware
Only cookware with a magnetic base (ø 10 cm to 22 cm) 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.
▪
Only the power level set illuminates on the hob.
Do not heat any unsuitable cookware using aids such as metal rings
and the like. This can damage the hob.
Energy-efficient cooking

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.
