USE
•
Never let an empty pan stand on a cooking zone that is switched on. While the hotplate
is protected and will switch itself off, the pan will be extremely hot. The pan could be
damaged.
•
Cook with the lid on the pan. This way you save up to 50% energy.
•
Do not use pans that are smaller than the cooking zone. This avoids the possibility of spilled
food getting onto the glowing hot cooking zone. Burnt-on spilled food is difficult to remove.
•
Damage caused by using unsuitable pans or boiling dry is excluded from the guarantee.
Not all pans are suitable for induction cooking. It is therefore important to know whether
the pan is made of the correct material. You can use a magnet to check whether your
pan is suitable. The pan is suitable if its base is attracted by the magnet.
Suitable
Special stainless steel pans
Class Induction
Solid enamelled pans
Enamelled cast-iron pans
•
Minimum pan diameter
▷
The diameter of a pan must be at least 12 cm.
The best results are achieved by using a pan with the same diameter as the
▷
cooking zone.
If a pan is too small the zone will not work.
▷
•
Pressure cookers
Induction cooking is very suitable for pressure cookers.
▷
▷
The fast-reacting cooking zone brings the pressure cooker to pressure quickly.
▷
As soon as you switch a cooking zone off, the cooking process stops immediately.
Induction sounds
•
Ticking sound
A soft ticking sound can occur while cooking.
▷
•
Pan makes sounds
The pan can make sounds during cooking. This is caused by the energy flowing from the
▷
hob to the pan.
▷
This is normal for certain pans, particularly at high settings. This is not harmful for the
pans or the hob.
•
Ventilator makes sounds
In order to increase the lifespan of electronic components, the appliance is fitted with
▷
a ventilator. If you use the appliance intensively, the ventilator will be switched on and
you will hear a humming sound. The ventilator can also make sounds after you have
switched off the appliance.
