HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

IMPORTANT

INDUCTION COOKING ZONES

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

Cookware for induction cooking zones

WARNING!

Use the induction cooking zones with correct cookwar

Cookware material:

  • correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless steel, the bottom made of multi-layer (with ‘induction-ready’ mark from the 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.

Cookware is correct for an induction hob if:

Find the right cookware

Only magnetic pots and pans work with induction. Check to see if your cookware is compatible: Place a magnet on the bottom of your pot or pan – if it clings firmly, the cookware will work with your cooktop. Choose the right size pot or pan for the right cooking zone

  • MAGNET STICKS
    Cookware base material has good magnetic characteristics.

  • MAGNET FALLS
    Cookware base material is non-magnetic.

  • some water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest heat setting.

  • a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the cookware.

IMPORTANT!

The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible.

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

To get the better perfoamance, it’s suggested to use the pot with full magnetic material at bottom.

The noises during operation

If you can hear:

  • crack noise: cookware is made of different materials (Sandwich construction).
  • whistle sound: you are using one or more cooking zones with high power levels and the cookware is made of different materials (Sandwich construction).
  • humming: you are using high power levels.
  • clicking: electric switching is occuring.
  • hissing, buzzing: the fan is operating.

The noises are normal and do not refer to any defects.

If unfamiliar with induction units please first compare theoperating sounds of a demonstration model at your retailer before calling service. If a service call is placed and the sounds are normal you will be charged for the visit.

Energy saving

ENVIRONMENT

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.

IMPORTANT!

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 data chapter.

Hints and Tips for Hob²Hood function

When you operate the hob with Hob2 Hood function:

  • Protect the hood panel from direct sunlight.
  • Do not spot halogen light on the hood panel.
  • Do not cover the hob panel.
  • Do not interrupt the signal between the hob and the hood (for example with a hand or a cookware handle). (Hood in the picture is only an example)
    Hints and Tips for Hob²Hood function 

IMPORTANT!

It may happen that other remote controlledappliances may block the signal. To avoid it do not operate the remote of the appliance and the hob at the same time.

Rangehoods with the Hob²Hood function

To find the full range of rangehoods which work with this function refer to our consumer website. The Electrolux rangehoods that work with this function must have the symbol

Hints and Tips for Sensefry function

To achieve the best results with the function:

  • To achieve the best results with the function:
  • Start the function when the hob is cold (no manual heat up of the cookware is necessary).
  • Use cookware made of stainless steel with sandwich bottom.
  • Do not use cookware with embossment at the center of the bottom.

Examples of cooking applications for the function

The data in the tables shows examples of food for each heat setting level. The amount, thickness, quality and temperature ( i.e. frozen ) of the food have an influence on the correct heat setting level. Choose the heat setting level and adjustment that are the best for your cooking habits and pans.

Eggs heat setting level Heat setting level
Omlette, fried eggs 1 – 3
Scrambled eggs 4 – 6
Fish Heat setting level
Filet of fish, fish fingers, seafood 4 – 6
Meat Heat setting level
Cutlet, chicken breast, turkey breast 1 – 3
Hamburger, meatball 2 – 4
Escalope, filet, steak medium / well done, fried sausages, minced meat 4 – 6
Steak rare 7 – 9
Vegetables Heat setting level
Fried potatoes, raw 1 – 3
Fried potatoes patty 4 – 6
Vegetables 4 – 6

IMPORTANT

Different sizes of pans can cause different heat up times. Heavy pans store more heat than the light pans but take more time to heat up.

Correct pans for Fry Assist function

Use only pans with flat bottom. To check if the pan is correct:

  1. Put your pan upside down.
  2. Put a ruler on the bottom of the pan.
  3. Try to put a coin of 1, 2 or 5 Euro Cent (or with similar thickness) between the ruler and the bottom of the pan.
    Correct fan

a. The pan is incorrect if you can put the coin between the ruler and the pan.

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.

IMPORTANT!
The data in the table is for guidance only.
