Suitable Kitchenware for Induction Cooking ZonesPots and Pans
•In principle all pots and pans with magnetic bases are suitable. These
are steel, steel-enamel as well as cast-iron pots and pans.
•High grade steel pans with a mixed metal base (sandwich base, e.g.
Tefal with an aluminium/copper base) are suitable for induction only
if the manufacturer has expressly marked them as such. In that case
they have a ferromagnetic percentage in the base.
•If you wish to use a special type of pan (e.g. a pressure cooker, sim-
mering pan, wok, etc.), please observe the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
•Aluminium, copper, brass, stainless steel pots and pans (unless specif-
ically designated as suitable for induction), glass, ceramic or porcelain
are not suitable for induction cooking zones. The cooking zone reacts
as if it were being used without a pot or pan: Error code f.
Look for the label: Suitable for induction!
Suitability Test
If you are not sure if a pot or pan is suitable for cooking or frying on
the induction cooking zone you can check this as follows:
•Place a pot filled with a little water (3-5 mm filling height) on the
cooking zone.
Switch the cooking zone to full power (switch setting 9).
Caution: The pan base of suitable kitchenware heats up within a
few seconds!
•You can also check this with a magnet. If it remains fixed to the base
the pan is suitable for induction cooking zones.
Pan Size
Up to a certain limit the induction cooking zone adapts itself to the
size of the pan base diameter. However, the pan base diameter must be
of a minimum size, depending on the size of the cooking zone.
Diameter of the cooking zone 14,5 cm:
Diameter of the pan base at least 12 cm
Diameter of the cooking zone 18 cm:
Diameter of the pan base at least 14,5 cm
Diameter of the cooking zone 21cm:
Diameter of the pan base at least 18 cm
