6.1 Cookware for induction
cooking zones
In induction cooking, a powerful
electromagnetic field almost instantly generates heat inside the
cookware.
Cookware material
• Correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled
steel, stainless steel, a multi-layer bottom (marked as correct by the 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.
• You can attach a magnet 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. But the magnetic part of
the bottom of the cookware must
have a minimum diameter.

11. OVEN - HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to "Safety information"
chapter.
The temperature and baking
times in the tables are guidelines
only. They depend on the recipes, quality and quantity of the
ingredients used.
CAUTION!
Use a deep baking tray for very
moist cakes. Fruit juices can
cause permanent stains on the
enamel.
11.1 Baking
General instructions
• Your new oven may bake or roast differently to the appliance you had before. Adapt your usual settings (tem-
www.aeg.com
18
perature, cooking times) and shelf levels to the values in the tables.
• With longer baking times, the oven
can be switched off about 10 minutes
before the end of baking time, to use
the residual heat.
When you use frozen food, the trays
in the oven can twist during baking.
When the trays get cold again, the
distortion will be gone.
How to use the Baking Tables
• We recommend to use the lower temperature the first time.
• If you cannot find the settings for a
special recipe, look for the one that is
almost the same.
• Baking time can be extended by 10-15
minutes, if you bake cakes on more
than one level.
• Cakes and pastries at different heights
do not always brown equally at first. If
this occurs, do not change the temperature setting. The differences
equalize during the baking procedure.
