Induction Cooktops HINTS AND TIPS 9
helpful hints and tips
TIPS & INFORMATION
tips & information
Use the correct cookware induction cooktop.
Cookware for induction cooking zones
Important! For induction cooking zones a strong
electro-magnetic field creates the heat in the cookware
very quickly.
Cookware material
• Correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless steel,
the bottom made of multilayer (with correct mark from a
manufacturer).
• Incorrect: aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an induction hob if:
• Water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest
heat setting.
• A magnet pulls 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 automatically to some limit.
The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• A cracking noise: cookware is made of different materials.
• Whistle sound: one or more cooking zones with high
power levels and the cookware is made of different
materials.
• Humming: high power levels in use.
• Clicking: electric switching occurs.
• Hissing, buzzing: the fan is in operation.
The noises are normal and do not refer to appliance malfunction.
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.
