Cookware
For induction cooking zones a strong
electro-magnetic field creates the heat in
the cookware very quickly.
Use the induction cooking zones with
correct cookware.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless
steel, the bottom made of multi-layer (with correct
mark from a manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass,
ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an induction hob if:
• some water boils very quickly on a zone set to the
highest heat setting.
• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the cookware.
The bottom of the cookware must be as
thick and flat as possible.
Cookware dimensions
Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the
bottom of the cookware automatically to some limit.
The cooking zone efficiency is related to the diameter of
the cookware. The cookware with a smaller diameter
than the minimum receives only a part of the power
generated by the cooking zone.
Refer to “Technical information” chapter.
The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of different materials
(sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you use the cooking zone with high
power level and the cookware is made of different
materials (sandwich construction).
• humming: you use high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not refer to hob
malfunction.
Examples of cooking applications
The relation between the heat setting and the cooking
zone consumption of power is not linear. When you
increase the heat setting, it is not proportional to the
increase of the cooking zone consumption of power. It
means that the cooking zone with the medium heat
setting uses less than a half of its power.
