Environmental protection and saving energy
ATTENTION! A fan is located on the underside of this hob. If a drawer is
located on the underside of the hob,
do not store any small or pointed objects, paper or tea towels in it. These
objects may be sucked in and damage the fan or impair the cooling. There must
be a clearance of at least 2 cm between the contents of the drawer and the fan
entry point.
3 Environmental protection and saving energy Environmentalprotectionandsavingenergy
3.1Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.
3.2Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less energy. Select
the cooking zone to match the size of your pan. Centre the cookware on the
hob. Use cookware whose base diameter is the same diameter as the hotplate.
Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upper diameter of the saucepan. It
is often larger than the base diameter. ¡ Unsuitable cookware or incompletely
covered cook-
ing zones consume a lot of energy. Cover saucepans with suitable lids. ¡
Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more
energy.
Lift lids as infrequently as possible. ¡ When you lift the lid, a lot of
energy escapes.
Use a glass lid. ¡ You can see into the pan through a glass lid
without having to lift it. Use pots and pans with flat bases. ¡ Uneven bases
increase energy consumption.
Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food. ¡ Large items of
cookware containing little food need
more energy to heat up. Cook with only a little water. ¡ The more water that
is contained in the cookware,
the more energy is required to heat it up. Turn down to a lower power level
early on. ¡ If you use an ongoing power level that is too high,
you will waste energy. Product Information according (EU) 66/2014 can be found
on the attached appliance pass and online on the product page for your
appliance.
Suitable cookware
Cookware that is suitable for induction cooking must have a ferromagnetic base, i.e. it must be attracted by a magnet. The base must also match the size of the cooking zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking zone, place this on the cooking zone with the next smallest diameter.
4.1Size and characteristics of the cookware
To be able correctly detect the cookware, you must take the size and the
material of the cookware into consideration. All cookware bases must be
perfectly flat and smooth. Use Cookware test to check whether the cookware is
suitable. Refer to “Cookware test”, Page 16 for more details.
Cookware Recommended cookware
Suitable
Materials Stainless steel cookware in a sandwich design that distributes the
heat well.
Ferromagnetic cookware made of enamelled steel, cast iron or special induction
cookware made of stainless steel. The base is not fully ferromagnetic.
Properties This cookware distributes the heat evenly, heats up quickly, and
ensures that it can be detected easily. This cookware distributes the heat
evenly, heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be detected.
If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the base of the cookware, only the
area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat is not distributed
evenly.
5
enSuitable cookware Cookware bases that contain aluminium.
Not suitable
Cookware made from normal thin steel, glass, clay, copper or aluminium.
Notes ¡ Do not use adapter plates between the hob and the
cookware. ¡ Do not heat up empty cookware and do not use
cookware with a thin base, as this may become very hot.
These cookware bases reduce the ferromagnetic area, which means that less power is emitted to the cookware. This cookware may not be sufficiently detected or may not be detected at all, and therefore does not heat sufficiently.
