HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
Cookware
For induction cooking zones a strong electro-magnetic field creates the heat
in the cookware very quickly.
Use the induction cooking zones with suitable cookware.
-
The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible.
Ensure pan bases are clean and dry before placing on the hob surface. -
In order to avoid scratches, do not slide or rub the pot across the ceramic glass.
Cookware material
- Correct: cast iron, steel, enameled steel, stainless steel, multi-layer bottom (with a correct marking from a manufacturer).
- Not correct: aluminum, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is suitable for an induction hob if:-
- Water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest heat setting.
- A magnet pulls on to the bottom of the cookware.
Cookware dimensions
- Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the cookware automatically.
- The cooking zone efficiency is related to the diameter of the cookware. The cookware with a diameter smaller than the minimum receives only a part of the power generated by the cooking zone.
- For both safety reasons and optimal cooking results, do not use cookware larger than indicated in “Cooking zones specification”. Avoid keeping cookware close to the control panel during the cooking session. This might impact the functioning of the control panel or accidentally activate hob functions.
Refer to “Technical data”.
The noises during operation
If you can hear:
- Crack noise: cookware is made of different materials (a sandwich construction).
- Whistle sound: you use a cooking zone with a high power level and the cookware is made of different materials (a sandwich construction).
- Humming: you use a high power level.
- Clicking: electric switching occurs.
- Hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not indicate any malfunction.
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 operation.
Examples of cooking applications
The correlation between the heat setting of a zone and its consumption of
power is not linear. When you increase the heat setting, it is not
proportional to the increase of the consumption of power. It means that a
cooking zone with the medium heat setting uses less than a half of its power.
The data in the table is for guidance only.
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
General information
- Clean the hob after each use.
- Always use cookware with a clean base.
- Scratches or dark stains on the surface have no effect on how the hob operates.
- Use a special cleaner suitable for the surface of the hob.
- Use a special scraper for the glass.
Cleaning the hob
- Remove immediately: melted plastic, plastic foil, sugar and food with sugar, otherwise, the dirt can cause damage to the hob. Take care to avoid burns. Use a special hob scraper on the glass surface at an acute angle and move the blade on the surface.
- Remove when the hob is sufficiently cool: limescale rings, water rings, fat stains, shiny metallic discoloration. Clean the hob with a moist cloth and a non-abrasive detergent. After cleaning, wipe the hob dry with a soft cloth.
- Remove shiny metallic discoloration: use a solution of water with vinegar and clean the glass surface with a cloth.
TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
What to do if…
