Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded base can interfere with
the operation of the overheating protection, so that the appliance becomes too hot.
This may lead to the glass top cracking and the pan base melting. Damage arising
from the use of unsuitable pans or from boiling dry is excluded from the guarantee.
If the base of the cookware is only partially ferromagnetic, only the area that is
ferromagnetic will heat up. This may mean that heat will not be distributed evenly.
The non-ferromagnetic area may not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.
The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the material from which the base of
the cookware is made contains aluminum, for example. This may mean that the
cookware will not become sufficiently hot or even that it will not be detected.
The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is made can affect the cooking
result. Using pots and pans made from materials that distribute heat evenly through
them, such as stainless-steel pans with a three-layer base, saves time and energy.
Use cookware with a flat base; if the base of the cookware is uneven, this may impair
the heat supply.
Magnet test:
Move a magnet towards the base of your cookware. If it is attracted, you can use the
cookware on the induction hob.
