4.3.4 Suitable cookware
INFO
The heating and heat through time for the base
of the cookware as well as the cooking results
are significantly influenced by the structure and
material of the cookware.
Cookware with this symbol is suitable for
induction cooktops.
The cookware used for the induction cooktop
must be made of metal, feature magnetic
properties and possess a sufficient bottom
surface.
Suitable cookware is made of:

Perform a magnet test, if necessary. If a magnet sticks
to the base of the utensils, they are normally induction
compatible.

Pay attention to the cookware bottom. The base of
the cookware should not show any sign of curvature.
Due to incorrect temperature monitoring of the hob
caused by the air gap between the cookware and the
temperature sensor underneath the hob, overheating
may occur. The bottom of the cookware must not have
any sharp grooves or sharp edges to avoid scratching
the cooktop.

Place the cookware (without a mat or similar) directly
onto the glass ceramic.
Noises
The following noises may occur in the cookware when
using induction cooking zones, depending on the material
and the finish of the base:
Q
Q
Humming
may occur when using a high power level. It
decreases or disappears if the power level is decrea-
sed.
Q
Q
Crackling or whistling
may occur due to the bases of
cookware made of different materials (e.g. sandwich
base).
Q
Q
Clicking sounds
may occur during electronic switching
procedures especially at low power levels.
Q
Q
Whirring
may occur when the cooling fan is switched
on. In order to increase the service life of the
electronic system, the cooktop is equipped with a
cooling fan. The cooling fan switches on automatically
if the cooktop is used intensively. You will hear a
whirring sound. The cooling fan may continue running
after the device has been switched off.
The induction automatically takes into account the size of
the used cookware which means that only the area in the
cooking zone covered by the base of the pot is heated up.
4.3.1 Power levels
The high power output of induction cooktops results in
the very quick heating up of cookware. A slight adjust-
ment is needed in comparison to conventional cooking
systems when selecting the power level in order to avoid
burning food.
