¡ Controlling the heat supply and safety; the cooktop increases 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 detected 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 ferromagnetic area. This may reduce the output and the cookware will not be detected sufficiently or at all, and will therefore not be heated sufficiently. Induction cooking en-us ¡ 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 because 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 respond 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 diameter of the pan base. Automatic detection in the case of dual or triple cooking zones These cooking zones can detect cookware of different sizes. Depending on the material and the properties of the cookware, the cooking zone automatically adapts to the single, double or triple cooking zone in such a way that the corresponding power level is transferred in order to achieve a good cooking result. Unsuitable cookware Never use flow plates or cookware made of the following: ¡ Thin-walled normal steel ¡ Glass 9
