Tab. 4.6 Recommendations for power levels
The specifications provided in the table are standard values.
Depending on the cookware and filling quantity, it is
recommended to either decrease or increase the power level.
Suitable cookware
i
The heating and heat-through times for the cookware
base, as well as the cooking results, are significantly
influenced by the structure and material of the cookware.
Cookware with this symbol is suitable for induction
cooktops. The cookware used for the induction cooktop
must be made of metal, feature magnetic properties and
possess an ample base.
Suitable cookware is made of:
XO
stainless steel with a magnetisable base
XO
enamelled steel
XO
cast iron

The BORA induction wok pan HIW1 is ideal for the
induction wok cooktop PKIW3 and is available as an
accessory.
XX
Perform a magnet test if necessary. If a magnet sticks to the
base of the utensils, they are normally induction compatible.
XX
Pay attention to the cookware base. The base of the
cookware should not show any sign of curvature (exception:
wok cooktop PKIW3). Due to incorrect hob temperature
monitoring, this curvature may cause the cookware to
overheat. To avoid scratching the cooktop, the base of the
cookware must not have any sharp grooves or sharp edges.
XX
Place the cookware (without a mat or similar) directly onto the
glass ceramic.

4.4.1 How induction cooktops work
(PKFI3, PKI3, PKIW3)
An induction coil is located underneath an induction cooking
zone. If the cooking zone is switched on, this coil creates a
magnetic field that acts directly on the base of the pot thus
heating it up. The cooking zone is only indirectly heated up by
the heat emitted by the pot. Cooking zones with induction only
work if the cookware has a magnetisable base.
Induction automatically takes into account the size of the
cookware used which means that only the area in the cooking
zone covered by the base of the pot is heated up.
XX
Observe the minimum pot base diameter (see table 4.7).
Power levels
The high power output of induction cooktops results in the very
quick heating up of cookware. In order to avoid burning food,
slight adjustment is needed in comparison to conventional cooking
systems when selecting the power level.
