INFO The BORA induction wok pan HIW1 is ideal for the
induction wok cooktop CKIW and is available as
an accessory.
 Perform a magnet test, if necessary. If a magnet sticks
to the base of the utensils, they are normally induction
compatible.
 Pay attention to the cookware bottom. The base of
the cookware should not show any sign of curvature
(exception: wok cooktop CKIW). Due to incorrect
temperature monitoring of the hob caused by the
air gap between the cookware and the temperature
sensor underneath the hob, overheating may occur.
The bottom of the cookware must not have any
sharp grooves or sharp edges to avoid scratching the
cooktop.
 Place the cookware (without a mat or similar) directly
onto the glass ceramic.
Noises
The following noises may occur in the cookware when
using induction cooking zones, depending on the material
and the finish of the base:

Humming may occur when using a high power level.
It decreases or disappears if the power level is
decreased.

Crackling or whistling may occur due to the bases
of cookware being made of different materials (e.g.
sandwich base).

Clicking sounds may occur during electronic switching
procedures especially at low power levels.

Whirring may occur when the cooling fan is switched
on. In order to increase the service life of the
electronic system, the cooktop is equipped with a
cooling fan. The cooling fan switches on automatically
if the cooktop is used intensively. You will hear a
whirring sound. The cooling fan may continue to run
after the appliance has been switched off.
4.3.5 How the Hyper and HiLight cooktops
work (CKCH, CKCB)
Under the cooking zone is a radiant heating element with
a heating tape. When the cooking zone is switched on,
the heating tape generates radiant heat, which radiates to
the cooking zone and heats it up.
Power levels
The high power output of induction cooktops results
in the very quick heating up of cookware. A slight
adjustment is needed in comparison to conventional
cooking systems when selecting the power level in order
to avoid burning food.
