Steba IK 55 Induction Instruction Manual

Induction – the modern way of cooking

1 litre water boils within 4 minutes!
An electromagnetic field of force directly heats the pot bottom, thereby:

• up to 50% lower power consumption
• up to 30% shorter cooking time
• pot detection and power cut-off, if no pot on the device

Cookware

• Applicable are enamelled or induction-appropriate pots. Minimum diameter 12 cm, but not much larger as the printing on the glass plate. You can test with a magnet whether your cookware is suitable or not. If it sticks to the base of the pot, you can use the pot.
• Pots made of aluminium, copper, glass, ceramics and chrome nickel steel are not suitable.
• Make sure that the bottom of the pot is flat and not too thin, as this will influence the temperature regulation negatively.
• Place the appropriate pot / pan (minimum diameter 12 cm) on the plate.
• Caused by the composition of the materials of the pot, some noise might be heard during cooking.
