Selecting cookware
Suitable cookware
–Stainless steel with magnetizable bottom
–Enameled steel
–Cast iron
Unsuitable cookware
–Stainless steel with non magnetizable bottom
–Aluminum, copper
–Glass, ceramic, earthenware
If in doubt, whether cookware is suitable for use on the induction, check by holding a magnet on the cookware bottom. If the magnet sticks, the cookware is suitable.
To prevent damage to the cooktop do not use pots and pans with thin bases on this cooktop. Never heat an empty pan unless the pan manufacturer states that you can do so.
Cookware size
For optimum burner use, select the size of the cookware so it fits between the inner and outer marking of the burner. If the pot is smaller than the inner marking, the induction may not operate. The burner reacts, as if no cookware was placed on it.
Please note that cookware diameters given by the manufacturer are usually the maximum/upper diameter. For use on the burner the (usually smaller) bottom diameter is important.
Energy saving tips
Using a lid while cooking will minimize the loss of heat and decrease cooking time.
