Tab. 5.5 Recommendations for power levels
The specifications provided in the table are standard
values.
Depending on the cookware and filling quantity, it is
recommended to either decrease or increase the power
level.
Suitable cookware
INFO The heating and heat through time for the base
of the cookware as well as the cooking results
are significantly influenced by the structure and
material of the cookware.
Cookware with this symbol is suitable for
induction cooktops. The cookware used for the
induction cooktop must be made of metal, feature
magnetic properties and possess an ample base.
Suitable cookware is made of:
stainless steel with a magnetisable base
enamelled steel
cast iron
Cooking zones Minimum diameter
Front 120 mm
Back 90 mm
Tab. 5.6 Minimum cookware diameter
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. Due
to incorrect hob temperature monitoring, this curvature
may cause the cookware to overheat. To avoid
scratching the cooktop the bottom of the cookware
must not have any sharp grooves or sharp edges.
Place the cookware (without a mat or similar) directly
onto the glass ceramic.
If the exhaust air is to be directed into a smoke or
exhaust gas flue that is not in use, the installation must
be checked and approved by the responsible heating
engineer.
Recirculation mode
The air suctioned away is purified by the grease filter and
an activated charcoal filter and fed back into the room in
which the appliance is installed.
To prevent odours in recirculation mode, an odour
filter must be used. For hygiene and health reasons,
the activated charcoal filter must be replaced at
the recommended intervals (see the Cleaning and
maintenance section).
INFO In recirculation mode, ensure sufficient ventilation
and aeration to expel humidity.
5.4 How the cooktop works
An induction coil is located underneath an induction
cooking zone. If the cooking zone is switched on, this
coil creates a magnetic field that acts directly on the
base of the pot thus heating it up. The cooking zone is
only indirectly heated up by the heat emitted by the pot.
Cooking zones with induction only work if the cookware
has a magnetisable base.
The induction automatically takes into account the size of
the cookware used which means that only the area in the
cooking zone covered by the base of the pot is heated up.
Observe the minimum pot base diameter.
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.
