helpful hints and tips
tips & information Use the correct cookware induction cooktop.
Cookware for induction cooking zones
Important! For induction cooking zones a strong electro-magnetic field creates
the heat in the cookware very quickly.
Cookware material · Correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless
steel,
the bottom made of multilayer (with correct mark from a manufacturer). ·
Incorrect: aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.
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.
environmental tips
Energy saving · If it is possible, always put the lids on the cookware. · Put
cookware on a cooking zone before you start it. Hints and Tips for Hob²Hood
function
NOTE: H2H functionality requires pairing with a compatible rangehood within
the Electrolux group of brands.
When you operate the hob with Hob2Hood 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).
MAGNET STICKS
Cookware base material has good magnetic characteristics
MAGNET FALLS
Cookware base material is nonmagnetic
· Water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest heat setting.
· A magnet pulls to the bottom of the cookware.
The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible. Cookware dimensions: induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the cookware automatically to some limit.
The noises during operation
If you can hear:
· A cracking noise: cookware is made of different materials.
· Whistle sound: one or more cooking zones with high power levels and the
cookware is made of different materials.
· Humming: high power levels in use.
· Clicking: electric switching occurs.
· Hissing, buzzing: the fan is in operation.
The noises are normal and do not refer to appliance malfunction. If unfamiliar
with induction units please first compare the operating 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.
IMPORTANT
It may happen that other remote controlled appliances may block the signal. To
avoid it do not operate the remote of the appliance and the hob at the same
time.
