Size of pans
nduction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the bottom of the cookware up to a certain limit. However the magnetic part of the bottom of the cookware must have a minimum diameter depending upon the size of the cooking zone.
Diameter of cooking zones | Minimum diameter of the bottom of the cookware |
|

9”/240mm | 7”/180mm |

6”/ 160mm | 4”/100mm |

Using suitable Induciton cookware
Suitability test
Cookware is suitable for induction cooking, if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware and the cookware is labelled as suitable by the cookware manufacturer.
Better pans produce better results.
•You can recognize good pans by their bases. The base should be as thick and flat as possible.
•When buying new pans, pay particular attention to the diameter of the base. Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper rim.
•Do not use pans which have damaged bases with rough edges or burrs. Permanent scratching can occur if these pans pan are slid across the surface.
•When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly inwards (concave). They should never be bowed outwards (convex).
•If you wish to use a special type of pan, for example, a pressure cooker, a simmering pan, or a wok, please observe the manufacturer’s instructions.
Energy saving tips
You can save valuable energy by observing the following points:
•Always position pots and pans before switching on the cooking zone.
•Dirty cooking zones and pan bases increase power consumption.
•When possible, position the lids firmly on the pots and pans to cover them completely.
•Switch the cooking zones off before the end of the cooking time to use the residual heat for keeping foods warm or for thawing.

TEmperature detecTIon
If for any reason the temperatures on any of the cooking zones were to exceed the safety levels, then the cooking zone will automatically reduce the heat to a lower power level.
When you have finished using the cooktop, the cooling fan will continue to run until the cooktop’s electronics have cooled down. The cooling fan switches itself on and off depending upon the termperature of the electronics.
