Advantages of the Induction Hob
Energy-saving cooking due to direct energy transfer to the pot.
Enhanced safety since energy is only transferred when a pot is placed on the hob.
Energy transfer between the induction cooking zone and the base of the pot with high
degree of efficiency.
Rapid heating.
Low risk of burning, since the cooking surface is only heated by the base of the pot.
Boiling over pot contents does not burn onto the hob.
Rapid, fine-tuned control of the input power.

special base
► Using the induction-compatible pots of some manufacturers can lead to the
occurrence of noises that are due to the design of these pots.
caso Pro3500 Touch
Place a magnet (e.g. a magnet from a magnetic board) close
to the base of your cooking pot. If it is strongly attracted then you can
use the cooking pot on the induction cooktop.
Unsuitable Cookware
Pots made of copper, aluminium, heat-resistant
glass and other non-metallic pots
Pots made of stainless steel without a magnet iron
core
Pots that do not sit flat on the hob
