Controlling the heat supply and safety; the cooktop in-

creases or decreases the heat supply as soon as the

user changes the setting. The induction cooking zone

stops the heat supply when you remove the cookware

from the cooking zone without you having to switch it off

first.

4.2 Cookware

Only ferromagnetic cookware is suitable for induction

cooking.

For example:

¡

Enameled steel cookware

¡

Cast iron cookware

¡

Special stainless steel cookware that is suitable for in-

duction cooking

You can find additional information on which items of

cookware are suitable for the induction cooking under

In order to achieve a good cooking result, ensure that the

ferromagnetic area of the cookware base corresponds to

the size of the cooking zone. If the cookware is not de-

tected on a cooking zone, place it on a cooking zone with

a smaller diameter.

The base of many items of induction cookware is not fully

ferromagnetic:

If you use large cookware with a smaller ferromagnetic

base, only the area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a

result, the heat is not distributed evenly. The temperature

of the non ferromagnetic area may therefore be too low for

cooking.

Cookware bases that contain aluminum reduce the ferro-

magnetic area. This may reduce the output and the cook-

ware will not be detected sufficiently or at all, and will

therefore not be heated sufficiently.

Unsuitable cookware

Never use flow plates or cookware made of the following:

¡

Thin-walled normal steel

¡

Glass

¡

Clay

¡

Copper

¡

Aluminum

Composition of the cookware base

The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is

made may affect the cooking result. Cookware made of

materials that distribute heat evenly in the pot, such as

saucepans with a stainless steel sandwich base, save

time and energy.

You should preferably use cookware with a flat base be-

cause uneven cookware bases impair the heat supply.

No cookware/cookware of an unsuitable size

If you do not place cookware on the selected cooking zone

or the cookware is made of an unsuitable material or is not

the right size for the cooking zone, the display for the

cooking zone flashes. To make the display go out, place a

suitable item of cookware on the cooking zone. If you do

not place a suitable item of cookware on the cooking zone

within 90 seconds, it automatically switches off.

Empty cookware or cookware with a thin base

Do not heat empty cookware and do not use cookware

with a thin base. The cooktop is equipped with an internal

safety system. However, empty cookware may heat up so

quickly that the "Automatic switch-off" function does not re-

spond in good time and an excessive temperature is

reached. As a result, the base of the cookware may melt

and damage the glass plate. In this case, do not touch the

cookware; switch off the cooking zone. If the cooking zone

no longer works after cooling down, contact the technical

after-sales service.

Cookware detection

Each cooking zone has a minimum limit for the cookware

detection and this depends on the ferromagnetic diameter

and the material of the base of the cookware. Therefore,

use the cooking zone that best corresponds to the diame-

ter of the pan base.
