cookware for induction
Cookware which has been used on other hobs, such as a gas hob, are no longer suitable for use on an induction hob.
Therefore purchase before the first use new cookware if you do not have suitable pans.
• Use thick, flat smooth bottomed cookware that are the same diameter as the cooking zone. This will help reduce cooking
times.
• Cookware made of steel, enamelled steel, cast iron and stainless steel will give the best results.
• Check the indications of the manufacturer whether the pan is suitable for use on an induction hob.
• Cookware made of enamelled steel or aluminium or copper bottoms can cause a metallic residue to remain on the hob.
If left, this becomes difficult to remove. Clean the hob after every use.
• Cookware is suitable for induction when a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.
• Cookware must be placed centrally on the cooking zone.
• When using certain pans, you may get various noises from
the pans, this is due to the design of the pans and does not
effect the performance or safety of the hob.
ENERGY SAVING
• Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the cookware bottom up to a certain limit. However the
magnetic part of the cookware bottom must have a minimum diameter depending upon the size of the cooking zone.
• Place the cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on. If it is switched on before placing any cookware, the
cooking zone will not operate.
• Always use a lid to reduce cooking time.
• Decrease the heat setting when a liquid comes to the boil.
• Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
• Select the correct heat setting for the several cooking options.
The following table is an indication for the several cooking options.

Make sure all the cooking zones are cooled down before cleaning the hob and lock the hob with the child lock.
• Do not use abrasive pads, corrosive cleaners, aerosol cleaners or sharp objects to clean the surface of the hob
which are not intended for this purpose.
• Clean the surface daily with a damp cloth and a mild detergent, such as washing-up liquid. Dry thoroughly with kitchen
paper or a clean cloth.
• Spilt food can be removed by soaking the spot with a damp cloth and some washing-up liquid or a special scraper.
Attention: the glass scraper has a razor, therefore, it must be kept away from children.
• Use a special cleaner for ceramic/induction hobs for difficult stains. Attention: follow the instructions on the product.
