HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Use the induction cooking zones with suitable cookware. Helpful hints and tips 25Put 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. Cookware for induction cooking zones In induction cooking a powerful electromagnetic field generates an almost instant heat in- side the cookware. Cookware material

• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless steel, a multi-layer bottom (marked as correct by 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. Operating noises If you can hear

• cracking noise: cookware is made of different materials (Sandwich construction).

• whistling: 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 any defects. Energy saving

• If possible, always put the lids on the cookware.

• Put cookware on a cooking zone before you start it. Öko Timer (Eco Timer) To save the energy, the heater of the cooking zone switches itself off earlier than count down timer signal. The heating time reduction depends on cooking level and cooking time. The Power function is suitable for heating large quantities of water. Information on acrylamides 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. 26 Helpful hints and tipsCARE AND CLEANING Clean the appliance after each use.
