4.6 Cookware for induction hobs

Cookware for induction cooking zones must
be made of metal and have magnetic proper-
ties. The base must be sufficiently large.
Only use pots with a base suitable for induc-
tion.
Suitable cookware
Enamelled steel
pots with a thick
base
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
which are attributable to the design of these
pans.
Wrong: the base of the pan is curved. The
electronic unit cannot determine the tempera-
ture correctly.

4.7 How to cut power consumption

The following are a few useful hints to help y-
ou cut your consumption of energy and use
your new induction hob and the cookware effi
ciently.
- The base of your cooking pots should be the
same size as the cooking zone.
-
When buying cooking pots, note that it is fre-
quently 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 pres-
sure and the fact that they are tightly closed.
Short cooking times mean that vitamins are
preserved.
OPERATION MANUAL
Unsuitable cookware
Pots made of copper,
stainless steel, alumini-
um, oven-proof glass,
wood, ceramic and ter-
racotta
may occur
- Always make sure that there is suffi cient fl uid
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 fi lled will use up a
lot of energy.

4.8 Power levels

The heating power of the cooking zones can
be set at various power levels. In the chart you
will fi nd examples of how to use each setting.
Setting

Simmering larger quantities or
4-5 roasting larger pieces of meat
until they are cooked through

P
A higher power level may need to be selected
for cooking pots without a lid.

4.9 Residual heat display

The glass ceramic hob is equipped with an H
as a residual heat indicator.
As long as the H lights up after the cooking zo-
ne has been switched off , the residual heat
can be used for melting food or for keeping
food warm.
The cooking zone may still be hot when the let-
ter H no longer lights up. Risk of burns!
The glass ceramic is not directly heated in the
case of an induction cooking zone; it is only he-
ated up by heat reflected by the pan.
Suitable for
Off , using residual heat
Simmering small portions
