caused:
Environmental protection
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
Tips for saving energy
■ Use pots and pans with even bases. Using cookware with
uneven bases increases energy consumption.
■ Use a small pan for small quantities of food. A larger, less full
saucepan requires more energy.
■ Always cover pans with a closely fitting lid. Cooking without
the lid requires four times as much energy.
■ Use only a little water when cooking. This saves energy. It
also preserves vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
■ Switch to a lower power level in good time.
Induction cooking
Advantages
With induction cooking, the heat is generated directly in the pan
base. This has many advantages:
■ Time saved when cooking and roasting. The cookware is
heated up directly.
■ Energy-saving.
■ Easier care and cleaning. Food which has overflowed does
not burn on as quickly.
■ Controlled heat supply and safety. The induction generates
or interrupts the heat supply immediately after each use. The
heating is interrupted when you remove the cookware from
the cooking position, even if the cooking position is still
switched on.
Cookware
Suitable cookware
Only use ferromagnetic cookware made of enamelled steel,
cast iron or special induction cookware made of rust-free
stainless steel.
Other cookware for induction
There are other types of cookware especially made for
induction cooking whose base is not entirely ferromagnetic.
Unsuitable cookware
Never use cookware made of conventional steel,glass,
ceramic, copper or aluminium.
Checking the cookware
Your cookware is suitable if the pan base can attract a magnet.
Saucepan manufacturers usually indicate cookware that is
suitable for induction cooking.
Cookware base
The properties of the cookware base can influence the cooking
result. The material of the cookware base should distribute the
heat evenly. A sandwich base of stainless steel is a good
example.
Damage Cause Measure
Stains Food spillage Immediately remove spilt food using a glass scraper.
Unsuitable cleaning products Only use cleaning products specifically designed for glass-ceramic hobs.
Scratches Salt, sugar and sand Do not use the hob as a tray or working surface.
Pans with rough bottoms may scratch
the glass ceramic
Check pans.
Fading Unsuitable cleaning products Only use cleaning products specifically produced for glass-ceramic hobs.
Contact with pans Lift pots and pans before moving them around.
Chips Sugar, substances with a high sugar
content
Immediately remove spilt food using a glass scraper.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used
electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical
and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline
determines the framework for the return and recycling
of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.
When using large cookware on a
smaller ferromagnetic area, only
the ferromagnetic zone heats up,
so heat might not be uniformly
distributed.
Pans with aluminium areas
inserted in the base reduce the
ferromagnetic area, so less heat
may be supplied and the pan
may be difficult to detect or not
be detected at all.
