ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Cooking on an induction hob is based on the generation of heat utilising the magnetic properties of the cookware.
That is why the cookware material must contain iron. Check this by looking for a symbol for induction cooking on the
bottom of the cookware (Fig. 1)or by using a magnet, whether the cookware is magnetic (Fig. 2).
If you do not have the possibility to check the bottom of the cookware with a magnet:
1. Put some water into the cookware you want to check.
2. If the “U” symbol is not displayed on the control panel, and the water in the cookware is simmering, the
cookware is of suitable material for induction cooking.
The following cookware material is unsuitable for an induction hob:
• pure stainless steel,
• aluminium or copper,
• without a magnetic substrate,
• glass, wood, stone,
• porcelain, ceramics, etc.
• Do not use cookware with bulging or irregular bottoms (Fig. 3) or otherwise the cooking effectiveness could be
reduced and may result in extension of the cooking time.
• For each cooking zone, use the correct cookware size. The diameter of the cookware bottom should correspond
to the size of the cooking zone (Fig. 4).
• Use small cookware for small amount of food. A big and only partially filled up cookware requires a lot of energy.
• Always cover the cookware with a suitable lid. When cooking without a lid, you consume much more energy.
• Always cook food with a small amount of water or fat. You save energy. This way vitamins and minerals will be
preserved when cooking vegetables.
• At the beginning of the cooking, set the cooking zone to the highest power level and reduce the cooking zone
power level after it is heated up.
