5. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

INDUCTION COOKING ZONES For induction cooking zones a strong electro-magnetic field creates the heat in the cookware very quickly.

5.1 Cookware for induction cooking zones

Use the induction cooking zones with correct cookware.

Cookware material

• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless steel, the bottom made of multi-layer (with correct mark from a manufacturer).
  not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.

Cookware is correct for an induction hob if ...

... some 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.

5.2 Use of the cooking zones

IMPORTANT

Put the cookware on the cross which is on the surface that you cook. Cover the cross fully. The magnetic part of the bottom of the cookware must be 125mm minimum. Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the cookware automatically. You can cook with the large cookware on two cooking zones at the same time.

5.3 The noises during operation

If you can hear

• crack noise: cookware is made of different materials (Sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you use one or more cooking zones with high power levels and the cookware is made of different materials (Sandwich construction).

• humming: you use high power levels.

• clicking: electric switching occurs.

• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.

The noises are normal and do not refer to appliance malfunction.

5.4 Energy saving

How to save energy

• If it is possible, always put the lids on the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone before you start it.
• Use the residual heat to keep the food warm or to melt it.

The cooking zone efficiency

The cooking zone efficiency is related to the diameter of the cookware. The cookware with a smaller diameter than the minimum receives only a part of the power generated by the cooking zone. For the minimum diameters see the Technical Information chapter.

5.5 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)

To save energy, the heater of the cooking zone deactivates before the count down timer sounds. The difference in the operation time depends on the heat setting level and the length of the cooking operation.

5.6 The Examples of cooking applications

The relation between the heat setting and the cooking zone consumption of power is not linear.

When you increase the heat setting it is not proportional to the increase of the cooking zone consumption of power. It means that the cooking zone with the medium heat setting uses less than a half of its power.

The data in the table is for guidance only.

Heat setting	Use to: Time Hints Nominal			power consumption
1	Keep warm the food you cooked	as required Put a lid on a cook-ware	3 %
1-3	Hollandaise sauce, melt: butter, choco-late, gelatine	5 - 25 min Mix from time to time	3 - 8 %
1-3	Solidify: fluffy ome-lettes, baked eggs	10 - 40 min Cook with a lid on 3 - 8 %
3-5	Simmer rice and milk-based dishes, heating up ready-cooked meals	25 - 50 min Add the minimum twice as much liquid as rice, mix milk dishes part proce-dure through	8 - 13 %
5-7	Steam vegetables, fish, meat	20 - 45 min Add some table-spoons of liquid	13 - 18 %
7-9	Steam potatoes 20 - 60 min Use max. ¼ l water for 750 g of potatoes	18 - 25 %
7-9	Cook larger quantities of food, stews and soups	60 - 150 min	Up to 3 l liquid plus ingredients	18 - 25 %
9-12	Gentle fry: escalope, veal cordon bleu, cut-lets, rissoles, saus-ages, liver, roux, eggs, pancakes, doughnuts	as necessa-ry	Turn halfway through 25 - 45 %
12-13	Heavy fry, hash browns, loin steaks, steaks	5 - 15 min Turn halfway through 45 - 64 %
14	Boil water, cook pasta, sear meat (goulash, pot roast), deep-fry chips	100 %
P	Boil large quantities of water. Power management is activa-ted.

Information on acrylamides

Important! According to the newest scientific knowledge, if you brown food (specially the one which contains starch),

acrylamides can pose a health risk. Thus, we recommend that you cook at the lowest temperatures and do not brown food too much.

6. CARE AND CLEANING

Clean the appliance after each use. Always use cookware with clean bottom.

Scratches or dark stains on the glass-ceramic cause no effect on how the appliance operates.

To remove the dirt:

1. Remove immediately: melted plastic, plastic foil, and food with sugar. If not, the dirt can cause damage to the appliance. Use a special scraper for the glass. Put the scraper on the glass surface at an acute angle and move the blade on the surface.

2. Remove after the appliance is sufficiently cool: limescale rings, water rings, fat stains, shiny metallic discolorations. Use a special cleaning agent for glass ceramic or stainless steel.

3. Clean the appliance with a moist cloth and some detergent.

4. At the end rub the appliance dry with a clean cloth.
