COOKWARE
For induction cooking zones a strong
electro-magnetic field creates the heat
in the cookware very quickly.
Use the induction cooking zones with
suitable cookware.
Cookware material
•
correct:
cast iron, steel, enamelled steel,
stainless steel, multi-layer bottom (with a correct
marking from a manufacturer).
•
not correct:
aluminium, copper, brass, glass,
ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is suitable for an induction hob if:
•
water boils very quickly on a zone set to the
highest heat setting.
•
a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the
cookware.
The bottom of the cookware must be
as thick and flat as possible.
Ensure pan bases are clean and dry
before placing on the hob surface.
Cookware dimensions
Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of
the bottom of the cookware automatically.
The cooking zone efficiency is related to the
diameter of the cookware. The cookware with a
diameter smaller than the minimum receives only a
part of the power generated by the cooking zone.
Refer to "Technical data".
THE NOISES DURING OPERATION
If you can hear:
•
crack noise: cookware is made of different
materials (a sandwich construction).
•
whistle sound: you use a cooking zone with a
high power level and the cookware is made of
different materials (a sandwich construction).
•
humming: you use a high power level.
•
clicking: electric switching occurs.
•
hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not indicate
any malfunction.
HINTS & TIPS FOR BOILASSIST
The function works best for boiling water and
preparing potatoes.
It does not work with cast iron and
non-stick cookware, e.g. with a
ceramic coating. Enamelled steel pots
are recommended for achieving the
best results while boiling potatoes.
Check if the pot you chose is suitable for BoilAssist
by monitoring the first cooking session.
To use BoilAssist efficiently follow the advice
below:
•
Fill between half to three quarters of the pot
with cold tap water leaving 4 cm from the rim of
the pot empty. Do not use less than 1 or more
than 5 litres of water. Make sure the total weight
of the water (or the water and potatoes) ranges
between 1-5 kg.
•
If you want to cook potatoes, make sure they are
completely covered with water, but remember to
leave at least one quarter of the pot empty.
•
To achieve the best results cook only whole,
unpeeled, medium-sized potatoes.
•
Make sure you do not pack potatoes too tightly.
•
Avoid producing external vibrations (e.g. from
using a blender or placing a mobile phone next
to the appliance) when the function is running.
•
If you want to use salt, add it after the water
reaches the boiling point.
•
The function may not work properly for water
kettles and espresso pots.
