Cookware
For induction cooking zones a
strong electro-magnetic field creates
the heat in the cookware very
quickly.
Use the induction cooking zones
with correct cookware.
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.
The bottom of the cookware must be
as thick and flat as possible.
Cookware dimensions
Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension
of the bottom of the cookware automatically to
some limit.
The cooking zone efficiency is related to the
diameter of the cookware. The cookware with a

If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of different
• whistle sound: you use the cooking zone
• 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.
Examples of cooking applications
The relation between the heat setting and the
cooking zone consumption of power is not
linear. When you increase the heat setting, it is
not proportional to the increase of the cooking
zone consumption of power. It means that the
cooking zone with the medium heat setting uses
less than a half of its power.
