WARNING!
Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded base
can interfere with the operation of the overheating protection, so that
the appliance becomes too hot. This may lead to the glass top
cracking and the pan base melting. Damage arising from the use
of unsuitable pans or from boiling dry is excluded from the guarantee.
Minimum pan diameter
The diameter of the bottom of the pan must be at least 12 cm. You will achieve the best results by
using a pan with the same diameter as the cooking zone. If a pan is too small the zone will not work.
Pressure cookers
Induction cooking is very suitable for cooking in pressure cookers. The cooking zone reacts very
quickly, and so the pressure cooker is quickly up to pressure. As soon as you switch a cooking zone
off, the heating process stops immediately.
Pan detection
The cooking zone automatically detects a suitable pan placed on a cooking zone. The cooking zone
display lights up.
Integrated pan recognition
If a certain power level is set for a cooking zone and there is no suitable pan or any pan on the
cooking zone, then the cooking zone will not deliver any power. After a certain period, the cooking
zone will switch off automatically.
Grill plates
The hob has a Grill function (depending on the model) for using a grill plate or teppan yaki. The
function keeps the grill plate or teppan yaki at an ideal temperature for grilling.
Induction noises
A ticking sound
This sound can be caused at lower power level settings or by the automatic pot detection.
Pans are making noise
Pans can make some noise during cooking. This is caused by the energy flowing from the hob to
the pan. This is perfectly normal for some pans. It will not damage either the pans or the hob.
The fan is making noise
To increase the lifespan and performance of the electronics, the appliance is equipped with fans.
During intense use of the appliance, the fan is activated to cool down the appliance and you will
hear a buzzing sound. The fan still runs for several minutes after the hob has been switched off.
