•not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceram- ic, porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an induction hob if …
•... some water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest heat setting..
•... a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the cookware.
The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible.
Cookware dimensions : induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the cookware automat- ically to some limit. But, the magnetic part of the bot- tom of the cookware must have a minimum diameter of approximately 3/4 of the cooking zones.
Operating noises
If you can hear
•cracking noise: cookware is made of different materi- als (Sandwich construction).
•whistling: you use one or more cooking zones with high power levels and the cookware is made of differ- ent materials (Sandwich construction).
•humming: you use high power levels.
•clicking: electric switching occurs.
•hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not refer to any defects.
Energy saving
• If possible, always put the lids on the cookware.
•Put cookware on a cooking zone before you start it.
•Stop the cooking zones before the end of the cooking time to use residual heat.
•The bottom of pans and cooking zones must have the same dimension.
