AEG IAE84411FB Notice D'utilisation page 15

Use the induction cooking zones with
suitable cookware.
• The bottom of the cookware must be as
thick and flat as possible.
• Ensure pan bases are clean and dry
before placing on the hob surface.
• In order to avoid scratches, do not slide or
rub the pot across the ceramic glass.
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.
• The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The
cookware with a diameter smaller than the
minimum receives only a part of the
power generated by the cooking zone.
• 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 panel or
accidentally activate hob functions.
Refer to "Technical data".
6.2 The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of different
materials (a sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you use a cooking zone
with a high power level and the cookware
is made of different materials (a sandwich
construction).
• humming: you use a high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not indicate
any malfunction.
6.3 Hints & Tips for SenseBoil®
The function works best for boiling water and
preparing potatoes.
It does not work with cast iron
and non-stick cookware, e.g.
with a ceramic coating.
Enamelled steel pots are
recommended for achieving the
best results while boiling
potatoes.
Check if the pot you chose is suitable for
SenseBoil® by monitoring the first cooking
session.
To use SenseBoil® efficiently follow the
advice below:
• Fill between half to three quarters of the
pot with cold tap water leaving 4 cm from
the rim of the pot empty. Do not use less
than 1 or more than 5 litres of water.
Make sure the total weight of the water (or
the water and potatoes) ranges between
1-5 kg.
• If you want to cook potatoes, make sure
they are completely covered with water,
but remember to leave at least one
quarter of the pot empty.
• To achieve the best results cook only
whole, unpeeled, medium-sized potatoes.
• Make sure you do not pack potatoes too
tightly.
• Avoid producing external vibrations (e.g.
from using a blender or placing a mobile
phone next to the appliance) when the
function is running.
• If you want to use salt, add it after the
water reaches the boiling point.
• The function may not work properly for
water kettles and espresso pots.
6.4 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.
