HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!
Refer to the 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 them on the hob surface.
• 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 onto 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 the “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 the 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 countdown 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 a medium heat setting uses less than half of its power.

• The data in the table is for guidance only.

Hints and Tips for Fry Assist 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 the 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 influence the correct heat setting level. Choose the heat setting level and adjustment that are the best for your cooking habits and pans.

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

Correct pans for the Fry Assist function
Use only pans with flat bottoms. 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 a similar thickness) between the ruler and the bottom of the pan.
   • a. The pan is incorrect if you can put the coin between the ruler and the pan.
   • b. The pan is correct if you cannot put the coin between the ruler and the pan.

Hints and Tips for Hob²Hood
When you operate the hob with the function:

• Protect the hood panel from direct sunlight.
• Do not spot the halogen light on the hood panel.
• Do not cover the hob control panel.
