HOB - HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING! Refer to Safety
chapters.
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.

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.
