5. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
5.1 Cookware
Use the hob only with
original wok with round
bottom.
WARNING!
Do not use cookware with
flat bottom. Safe operation
in accordance with EN60335
can only be guaranteed with
the wok pan supplied with
the hob.
For induction cooking zones
a strong electro-magnetic
field creates the heat in the
cookware very quickly.
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.
5.2 The noises during
operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of
different materials (sandwich
construction).
• you touch
• Minute Minder comes down
• Count Down Timer comes down
• you put something on the control
panel.
you can
• 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.
5.3 Energy saving
• If it is possible, always put the lids on
the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone
before you start it.
• Use the residual heat to keep the
food warm or to melt it.
5.4 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)
To save energy, the heater of the
cooking zone deactivates before the
count down timer sounds. The difference
in the operation time depends on the
heat setting level and the length of the
cooking operation.
5.5 Cooking with the wok
The induction wok is best for preparing
"a la minute" dishes, in particular
Chinese specialities. The food is
continuously turned during the short
frying time. Induction heating system
allows you to cook very quickly and at
high heat level. As a result meat and fish
stay succulent and vegetables keep their
colour, taste and vitamins.
At the heat setting 9 and above the
induction wok has a high power with very
fast reaction time. Fat and oil become
too hot very quickly. When it starts to
smoke, it is too hot. Power function must
be used only for a short time if you cook
