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
smaller diameter than the minimum receives
only a part of the power generated by the
cooking zone.
Refer to "Technical information"
chapter.
The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of different
materials (sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you the cooking zone with
high power level and the cookware is made

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.
Use to:
of different materials (sandwich
construction).
