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 enamelled
base
Pots made of multi-layer
stainless steel, rustproof
ferrite steel or aluminium with a
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 a magnet towards the base of your cookware. If it is
attracted, you can use the cookware on the induction hob.
Note:
When using pans suitable for induction from certain
manufacturers, noises may occur which are attributable to the
design of these pans.
Take care when using simmering pans as simmering water may
dry up unnoticed, resulting in damage to the pot and to the hob
for which no liability will be assumed.
Unsuitable cookware
Pots made of copper,
stainless steel, aluminium,
oven-proof glass, wood,
ceramic and terracotta
How to cut power consumption
The following are a few useful hints to help you cut your
consumption of energy and use your new induction hob and the
cookware efficiently.
• The base of your cooking pots should be the same size as the
cooking zone.
• When buying cooking pots, note that it is frequently the
diameter of the top of the pot that it indicated. This is usually
larger than the base of a pot.
• 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 remaining heat
1-2 Simmering small portions.
(lowest setting)
3 Simmering
4-5 Simmering larger quantities or roasting
larger pieces of meat until they are
cooked through.
6 Roasting, getting juices
7-8 Roasting
9 Bringing to the boil, browning, roasting
(highest setting)
Residual heat display
The glass ceramic hob is equipped with an H as a
residual heat display.
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.
