8. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
8.1 Cookware
For induction cooking zones a strong
electro-magnetic field creates the heat in
the cookware very quickly.
Use the induction cooking zones with suitable
cookware.
• To prevent overheating and improve the
performance of the zones, the cookware
must be as thick and flat as possible.
• Ensure cookware bases are clean and dry
before placing on the hob surface.
• Always be careful no to slide or rub the
cookware on the edges and corners of the
glass or the side trim as it may chip or
damage the glass surface.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel,
stainless steel, multi-layer bottom (with a
correct marking from a manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass,
glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is suitable for an induction hob
if:
• water boils very quickly on a zone set to
the highest heat setting.
• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the
cookware.
Cookware dimensions
• Induction cooking zones adapt to the
dimension of the bottom of the cookware
automatically. Place the cookware in the
centre of the selected cooking zone.
• The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. To ensure
optimal heat transfer use cookware with
diameter similar to the size of a given
cooking zone, no larger and no smaller
than recommended. To check the
recommended cookware diameter refer to
"Technical data" > "Cooking zones
specification".
– Cookware with a diameter smaller
than the declared minimum receives
only part of the power generated by
the cooking zone which results in
slower heating.
– For both safety reasons and optimal
cooking results, do not use cookware
larger than indicated in "Cooking
zones specification". Avoid keeping
cookware close to the control panel
during the cooking session. This might
impact the functioning of the control
