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 possi- ble.

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 bot- tom of the cookware must be 125 mm 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

• crack noise: cookware is made of dif- ferent materials (Sandwich construc- tion).

• 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 re- fer to appliance malfunction.

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

• Put cookware on a cooking zone be- fore 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 cook- ware with a smaller diameter than the minimum receives only a part of the pow- er generated by the cooking zone. For the minimum diameters see the Technical In- formation chapter.

www.electrolux.com5.5 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 op- eration.

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 guid- ance only.
