5. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Use the induction cooking zones with suitable cookware.

5.1 Cookware for induction

cooking zones For induction cooking zones a strong electro-magnetic field creates the heat in the cookware very quickly. 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 possi- ble.

5.2 Operating noises

• cracking noise: cookware is made of different materials (Sandwich construc- tion).

• whistling: you use one or more cook- ing zones with high power levels and the cookware is made of different ma- terials (Sandwich construction).

• humming: you use high power levels.

• clicking: electric switching occurs.

• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates. The noises are normal and do not re- fer to any defects. ENGLISH 275.3 Energy saving

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

• Put cookware on a cooking zone before you start it.

5.4 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 reduc- tion depends on cooking level and cooking time.

5.5 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 guid- ance only.
