Energy saving
HOW TO SAVE ENERGY
• If it is possible, always put the lids on the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone before you start it.
• Use the residual heat to keep the food warm or to
melt it.
THE COOKING ZONE EFFICIENCY
The cooking zone efficiency is related to the diameter
of the cookware. The cookware with a smaller diameter
than the minimum receives only a part of the power
generated by the cooking zone. For the minimum
diameters see the Technical data chapter.
Öko Timer
To save energy, the heater of the cooking zone
deactivates before the count down timer sounds. The
difference in the operation time depends on the heat
setting level and the length of the cooking operation.
HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
INDUCTION COOKING ZONES
For induction cooking zones a strong electro-magnetic
field creates the heat in the cookware very quickly.
Cookware for induction cooking zones
WARNING!
Use the induction cooking zones with correct cookware.
Cookware material:
• Correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless
steel, the bottom made of multi-layer (with correct
mark from a manufacturer).
• Not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic,
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.
Use of the cooking zones
IMPORTANT!
Put the cookware on the cross which is on the surface
that you cook. Cover the cross fully. The magnetic part of
the bottom of the cookware must be 125mm minimum.
Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the
bottom of the cookware automatically. You can cook
with the large cookware on two cooking zones at the
same time.
The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• Crack noise: cookware is made of different materials
(Sandwich construction).
• Whistle sound: you use one or more cooking zones
with high power levels and the cookware is made of
different 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.
If unfamiliar with induction units please first compare the
operating sounds of a demonstration model at your retailer
before calling service. If a service call is placed and the
sounds are normal you will be charged for the visit.
Examples of cooking applications
The relation between the heat setting and the cooking zone
consumption of power is not linear. When you increase the
heat setting it is not proportional to the increase of the cooking
zone consumption of power.
It means that the cooking zone with the medium heat setting
uses less than a half of its power.
The data in the table is for guidance only.

Information on acrylamides
Important! According to the newest scientific knowledge,
if you brown food (especially food that contains starch),
acrylamides can pose a health risk. Thus, we recommend
that you cook at the lowest temperatures and do not brown
food too much.
The Power function is suitable for heating large quantities of water.
