Marking of kitchen
cookware
Check for marking indicating that the
cookware is suitable for induction
cooking.
Use magnetic cookware (enamelled steel, ferrite sta-
inless steel, cast iron). The easiest way to determine
if your cookware is suitable is to perform the „magnet
test”. Find a generic magnet and check if it sticks to
the base of the cookware.

For induction cooking us only ferromagnetic base materials such as:
●enamelled steel
● cast iron
● special stainless steel cookware designed for induction cooking.
Cookware size.

In order to achieve best cooking results, use cookware with bottoms (ferromagnetic part)
of the size corresponding to the size of the cooking zone.
● Using cookware with the bottom diameter smaller than the cooking zone size will reduce
the effectiveness of the cooking zone and increase cooking time.
● Cooking zones have a lower pot detection limit that depends on the diameter of ferro-
magnetic part of the pot bottom and the pot material. The use of an unsuitable pot might
lead to pot being undetected by a cooking zone. Minimum enamelled pot base diameter
for each cooking zone:
160mm-180mm cooking zone-100mm diameter,
180mm-200mm cooking zone-110mm diameter,
210mm-220mm cooking zone-120mm diameter.
