2.2 Choosing the right cookware and its use
Before use
Only use cookware suitable for induction operation.
Pay attention to the labelling when buying it.
As a reminder: magnetic cookware is also suitable for
induction.
Note:
The proportion of magnetic metal particles varies with
different types of cookware. The higher the proportion,
the more efficient the heating and the better the automatic
detection of the hob of cookware (described in the following).
Even induction cookware of inferior quality (e.g. aluminium
pots with glued-on magnetic base plates) can impair the
function.
!
Automatic detection of suitable cookware
The hob has an automatic recognition system for suitable
cookware. If no cookware suitable for induction is detected
on a cooking zone, this is indicated by the icon on the corre-
sponding cooking zone display.
This can have the following reasons:
• The cookware used is not suitable for induction.
• The cookware was not placed on the selected cooking zone.
• The cookware was not placed in the middle of the cooking
zone.
• The cookware is too small.
If no suitable cookware is detected, the operation
of the corresponding cooking zone does not start.
After one minute it is automatically switched off.
