How induction hobs function
Induction hobs function considerably differently to
conventional hobs or solid plates. The induction
coil under the glass ceramic creates a magnetic
field that alternates quickly and which directly
heats the magnetisable base of the cookware. The
glass ceramic is only heated by the hot cookware.
If the cookware is removed from the cooking zone,
the power supply is interrupted immediately.
Pan detection
Every cooking zone is equipped with pan detection.
The pan detection recognises cookware with a
magnetisable base that is suitable for use with
induction hobs.
If the cookware is removed during operation or
unsuitable cookware is used, the display near the
bargraph flashes with
If there is no cookware placed on the cooking
zone during the pan detection time of 10 seconds:
- The cooking zone switches off automatically
after 10 seconds.
- The display of each cooking zone shows
Cookware
Suitable cookware
Only cookware with a fully magnetisable base is
suitable for cooking on the induction hob.
The magnet adheres to every point on the entire
base of the cookware.
Cookware suitable for use in induction
cooking
Cookware used on the induction cooking surface
must be made of metal, with magnetic properties
and a sufficiently large base.
Suitable cookware:
- Enamelled steel cookware with thick bases.
- Cast iron cookware with an enamelled base.
- Cookware in multilayer stainless steel, ferritic
stainless steel and aluminium with a special
base.
Unsuitable cookware:
- Copper, stainless steel, aluminium, fireproof
glass, wood, ceramic and terracotta cookware.
- To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a
magnet close to the bottom: if it is attracted, the
pan is suitable for induction cooking. If you do not
have a magnet, you can put a small amount of
water in the pan, place it on a cooking zone and
start the cooking zone. If the symbol
on the display, it means the pan is not suitable.

appears
Note: Use only cookware with a perfectly flat
bottom and suitable for induction cooking zones.
Using cookware with an irregular bottom could
jeopardise the efficiency of the heating system
and prevent cookware from being detected on the
cooking zone.
Noise during cooking
Cookware can make noise during cooking. This
does not indicate any malfunction, nor does it
affect the functioning of the appliance in any way.
Noise depends on the cookware used. If the noise
causes considerable disturbance, it can help to
change the cookware.
Advice on energy-saving
- The diameter of the base of the pan must
correspond to the diameter of the cooking zone.
ENERGY
SAVING
- When buying a pan, check whether the diameter
indicated is that of the base or the top of the pan,
as the top is almost always larger than the base.
- When preparing dishes with long cooking
times, you can save time and energy by using
a pressure cooker, which also makes it possible
to preserve the vitamins in the food.
- Make sure that the pressure cooker contains
enough liquid as, if there is not enough and it
overheats, this may cause damage to both the
pressure cooker and the cooking zone.
- If possible, always cover pans with a suitable lid.
- Choose a pan suitable for the quantity of food
to be cooked. A large, half-empty pan leads to a
waste of energy.
