cooking zone tries to detect the cookware. Place
cookware on the cooking zone within 30seconds, or the
cooking zone will switch itself off.
¡ If the indicators blink while cookware is present on the
cooking zone, check whether the cookware is suitable
for induction cooking.
¡ If there is cookware on the cooking zone before
switching the cooktop on, it is detected within
20seconds after touching the main switch and the
cooking zone is selected automatically. Set the power

switches off after 20seconds.
¡ If there are several pieces of cookware on the cooktop
when it is switched on, only one piece of cookware is
detected.

correct position according to size.

¡ Select power level 8 or 9 for bringing water to a boil or
heating up the pan.
¡ Stir thick liquids occasionally.
¡ Food that needs to be seared quickly, or food which
loses a lot of liquid during initial frying, is best seared in
several small portions.

as soon as steam escapes between lid and cookware.
