To determine if a pot or pan is suitable,
check for the
stamped on the bottom). You can also
hold a magnet to the bottom. If it clings to
the underside, the pan can be used on an
induction hob.
To ensure optimum efficiency, always
use pots and pans with a flat bottom that
distributes the heat evenly. If the bottom
is not perfectly flat, this will affect power
and heat conduction.
How to use
Minimum diameter of pot/pan base for
the different cooking areas.
To ensure that the hob functions prop-
erly, the pan must cover one or more of
the reference points indicated on the sur-
face of the hob, and must be of a suitable
minimum diameter.
Always use the hob that best corres-
ponds to the diameter of the bottom of
the pan.

Combined left/right
Singles
Empty pots/pans or with thin base
Do not use empty or thin-based pots/
pans on the hob as it will be unable to de-
tect the temperature or turn off automat-
ically if the temperature is too high, thus
damaging the pan or the hob surface.
If this occurs, do not touch anything and
wait for all components to cool down.
If an error message appears, refer to
"Troubleshooting".
Hint/tips
Noise during cooking
When a cooking area is active, it may
hum briefly. This is a characteristic of all
ceramic glass hobs and does not impair
the function or life of the appliance. The
noise depends on the pan used. If it
