Cooktop operation
Here you will find out everything you need to know about operating your cooktop.
8.1 Suitable cookware
Cookware that is suitable for induction cooking must have a ferromagnetic base, i.e. it must be attracted by a magnet. The
base must also match the size of the cooking zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking zone, place it on the cooking
zone with the next smallest diameter.
Size and characteristics of the cookware
To correctly detect the cookware, take the size and the material of the cookware into consideration. All cookware bases
must be perfectly flat and smooth.
Use the feature Cookware test to check whether your cookware is suitable.

Cookware Materials Properties
Recommended
cookware
Stainless steel
cookware in a
sandwich design that
distributes the heat
well.
This cookware distributes the heat evenly, heats up quickly, and
ensures that it can be detected easily.
Ferromagnetic
cookware made of
enameled steel, cast
iron or special
induction cookware
made of stainless
steel.
This cookware heats up quickly and ensures that it can be detected
easily.
Suitable cookware
The base is not fully
ferromagnetic.
If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the base of the cookware, only
the area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat is not
distributed evenly.
Cookware bases with
aluminum content.
These reduce the ferromagnetic area, which means that less power is
emitted to the cookware. This cookware may not be sufficiently
detected or may not be detected at all, and therefore does not heat
sufficiently.
Not suitable Cookware made from
normal thin steel,
glass, clay, copper or
aluminum.
Notes
¡ Do not use adapter plates between the cooktop and the
cookware.
¡ Do not heat up empty cookware and do not use
cookware with a thin base, as they may become very
hot.
