USING SUITABLE INDUCTION 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. You can scratch the ceramic cooktop permanently if you slide a pan with a damaged base 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 pots and pans so that the lids 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.
