Operation

Cookware for induction hobs

Cookware for induction cooking zones must be made of metal and
have magnetic properties. The base must be sufficiently large.
Only use pots with a base suitable for induction.
Suitable cookware
Enamelled steel pots with a
thick base
Cast iron pots with an enam-
elled base
Pots made of multi-layer stain-
less steel, stainless ferrite steel
and aluminium with special
base
This is how to establish the suitability of a pot:
Conduct the magnet test described below or make sure that the pot
bears the symbol for suitability for cooking with induction current.
Magnet test
Move the magnet towards the
base of your cookware. If it
is attracted, you can use the
cookware on the induction hob.
Important
When using pans suitable for induction from certain manufactur-
ers, noises may occur which are attributable to the design of these
pans.

How to cut power consumption

The following are a few useful hints to help you cut your consump-
tion of energy and use your new induction hob and the cookware
efficiently.
•
Pressure cookers are particularly low on energy and time
required thanks to the pressure and the fact that they are tightly
closed. Short cooking times mean that vitamins are preserved.
•
Always make sure that there is sufficient fluid in your pressure
cooker since the cooking zone and the cooker may be damaged
as a result of overheating if the pressure cooker boils dry.
•
Always close cooking pots with a suitable lid.
•
Use the right pot for the quantity of food you are cooking. A large
pot which is hardly filled will use up a lot of energy.

Power settings

The heating power of the cooking zones can be set at various power
levels. In the chart you will find examples of how to use each setting.
Setting
0
Off, using residual heat
1-2 Simmering small portions
(lowest setting)
3 Simmering
4-5 Simmering big portions
Continuing to roast large pieces of meat
until they are cooked through
6 Roasting, getting juices
7-8
Roasting
9 Bringing to the boil, browning, roasting
P Power boost (highest power output)
A higher power level may need to be selected for cooking pots without
a lid.

Residual heat indicator

The glass ceramic hob is equipped with an H as a residual
heat indicator. As long as the H lights up after the cooking
zone has been switched off, the residual heat can be used for
melting food or for keeping food warm.
The cooking zone may still be hot when the letter H no longer lights
up. Risk of burns!
The glass ceramic is not directly heated in the case of an induction
cooking zone; it is only heated up by heat reflected by the pan.
