¡ 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.
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.
