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 speci-
fically designated as suitable for induction), glass, ceramic or porce-
lain 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.
