Operation
Cookware for induction hobs
Cookware for induction cooking zones must be made of metal and
have magnetic properties. The base must be sufficiently large.
Only use pots with a base suitable for induction.
Suitable cookware
Unsuitable cookware
Enamelled steel pots with a thick
base
Pots made of copper,
stainless steel, aluminium,
oven-proof glass, wood,
ceramic and terracotta
Cast iron pots with an enamelled
base
Pots made of multi-layer stainless
steel, stainless ferrite steel and
aluminium with special base
This is how to establish the suitability of a pot
Conduct the magnet test described below or make sure that the pot
bears the symbol for suitability for cooking with induction current.
Magnet test:
Move the magnet towards the base of your cookware. If it is
attracted, you can use the cookware on the induction hob.
Please note: When using pans suitable for induction from certain
manufacturers, noises may occur which are attributable to the
design of these pans.
Take care when using simmering pans as simmering water may dry
up unnoticed, resulting in damage to the pot and to the hob for
which no liability will be assumed.
How to cut power consumption
The following are a few useful hints to help you cut your
consumption of energy and use your new induction hob and the
cookware efficiently.
•
The base of your cooking pots should be the same size as the
cooking zone.
•
When buying cooking pots, note that it is frequently the
diameter of the top of the pot that it indicated. This is usually
larger than the base of a pot.
•
Pressure cookers are particularly low on energy and time
required thanks to the pressure and the fact that they are tightly
closed. Short cooking times mean that vitamins are preserved.
•
Always make sure that there is sufficient fluid in your pressure
cooker since the cooking zone and the cooker may be
damaged as a result of overheating if the pressure cooker boils
dry.
•
Always close cooking pots with a suitable lid.
•
Use the right pot for the quantity of food you are cooking. A
large pot which is hardly filled will use up a lot of energy.
Power settings
The heating power of the cooking zones can be set at various
power levels. In the chart you will find examples of how to use each
setting.

Residual heat display
The glass ceramic hob is equipped with a residual heat display.
After the cooking zone has been switched off, the residual heat
display (red disk) lights up to indicate that the ceramic glass is still
hot. Risk of burning!
However, this residual heat can be used for melting food or for
keeping food warm.
The glass ceramic is not directly heated in the case of an induction
cooking zone; it is only heated up by heat reflected by the pan.
Using the wok pan
•
No foreign bodies or dirt must be allowed to get between the
wok pan and the hob, since they may damage the surface.
•
Do not overheat the wok pan when it is empty.
•
We recommend you to use the Küppersbusch Wok frying pan
model 762 to get the best result. This Wok frying pan is not
included with this cooktop.
