The induction cooking zone immediately detects the
size of the cooking pot/pan used. If the diameter is
too small, the cooking pot will not work. The diameter
varies according to the cooking zones. The minimum
pot diameters are given in the table on page 10. If
the pot is not suitable for the hob, the symbol
continue to flash.
Tip: Manufacturers of cookware often specify the
top diameter of the pan. This is often larger than the
bottom diameter.
Quality of the pots and pans
In order to ensure your pans are suitable:
− Hold a magnet to the base of the pan. The magnet
should stick.
Some cooking pots hum when they are placed on
an induction cooking zone. This does not mean
the device is faulty, and it will not affect operation.
This noise decreases when you adjust the power.
Lift the pans up when you want to move
them to avoid stains and scratches.
− As often as possible, prepare meals with the pan
lid on.
Dimensions of the cooking pans
The cooking zones can (to a certain extent) automatically
adapt to the diameter of the pan. The base of the
pan must have a minimum diameter for working with
the selected cooking zone. Place the cooking pot/
pan properly in the centre of the cooking zone and
thus centrally on the centerpoint. The bottom of the
cooking pot should cover the cooking zone as much
as possible. If the diameter of the pan is significantly
larger than the cooking zone, the cooking results may
not be optimal.
The surface of the cooking pot directly above the
induction coil then generates the heat. The rest of
the surface that is not above the induction coil will
receive heat via conduction through the pan surface.
