Helpful hints and tips

• The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and
flat as possible.
• Cookware made of enamelled steel and with aluminium
or copper bottoms can cause discoloration on glass
ceramic surface.
Cookware for induction cooking zones

electromagnetic field generates an almost instant heat
inside the cookware.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless
steel, a multi-layer bottom (marked as correct by a
manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic,
porcelain.

• ... some water boils very quickly on a zone set to the
highest heat setting..
• ... a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the cookware.

flat as possible.
Cookware dimensions : induction cooking zones adapt to
the dimension of the bottom of the cookware automatically
to some limit. But, the magnetic part of the bottom of the
cookware must have a minimum diameter of approxi-
mately 3/4 of the cooking zones.
