Protecting the environment

Cooking with induction

In this section, you can find information about saving energy and disposing of the appliance.

Energy-saving advice

Always use the correct lid for each pan. Cooking
without a lid uses a lot more energy. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.
Use pans with flat bases. Bases that are not flat use
a lot more energy.
The diameter of the pan base must match the size
of the hotplate. Please note: pan manufacturers usually provide the diameter for the top of the pan, which is usually larger than the diameter of the pan base.
Use a small pan for small amounts of food. A large
pan which is not full uses a lot of energy.
Use little water when cooking. This saves energy
and preserves all the vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If
the power level is too high, energy is wasted.

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

Advantages of induction cooking

Induction cooking is very different from traditional cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item of cookware. This offers numerous advantages:
Saves time when boiling and frying.
Saves energy.
Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not
burn on as quickly.
Heat control and safety – the hob increases or
decreases the heat supply as soon as the user changes the setting. The induction hotplate stops the heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed from the hotplate, without having to switch it off first.

Cookware

Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking, such as:
Cookware made from enamelled steel
Cookware made from cast iron
Special induction-compatible cookware made from
stainless steel.
You can check whether the cookware is suitable for induction cooking. ~ "Suitability test of tableware"
To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic area on the base of the pan should match the size of the hotplate. If a hotplate does not detect the cookware, try placing the cookware on another hotplate with a smaller diameter.
The wireless temperature sensor is battery-powered. Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally responsible manner.
FP
If the only hotplate being used is the flexible cooking zone, larger cookware that is particularly suited to this zone can be used. You can read more information on the positioning of the cookware here ~ "Flex function"
FP
FP
7
Page 8
Some induction cookware does not have a fully ferromagnetic base:
If the base of the cookware is only partially
ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic will heat up. This may mean that heat will not be distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.
The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the
material from which the base of the cookware is made contains aluminium, for example. This may mean that the cookware will not become sufficiently hot or even that it will not be detected.
Absence of pan or unsuitable size
If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the power level displayed on the hotplate indicator will flash. Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the flashing. If this takes more than 90 seconds, the hotplate will switch off automatically.
Empty pans or those with a thin base
Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base. The hob is equipped with an internal safety system. However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the "automatic switch off" function may not have time to react and the pan may reach very high temperatures. The base of the pan could melt and damage the glass on the hob. In this case, do not touch the pan and switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance Service.
Pan detection
Each hotplate has a lower limit for pan detection. This depends on the diameter of the ferromagnetic area of the cookware and the material from which its base is made. For this reason, you should always use the hotplate that best matches the diameter of the base of the pan.
Unsuitable pans
Never use diffuser hobs or pans made from:
common thin steel
glass
earthenware
copper
aluminium
Properties of the base of the cookware
The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is made can affect the cooking result. Using pots and pans made from materials that distribute heat evenly through them, such as stainless-steel pans with a three-layer base, saves time and energy.
Use cookware with a flat base; if the base of the cookware is uneven, this may impair the heat supply.

Chef's recommendations

Recommendations
When heating up puree, cream soups and thick
sauces, stir occasionally.
Set heat setting 8 to 9 for preheating.
When cooking with the lid on, turn the heat setting
down as soon as steam escapes between the lid and the cookware. Steam does not need to escape for a good cooking result.
After cooking, keep the lid on the cookware until
you serve the food.
To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the
manufacturer's instructions.
Do not cook food for too long, otherwise the
nutrients will be lost. The kitchen clock can be used to set the optimum cooking time.
For a more healthy cooking result, smoking oil
should be avoided.
To brown food, fry small portions in succession.
Cookware may reach high temperatures while the
food is cooking. We recommend that you use oven gloves.
You can find recommendations for energy-efficient
cooking in section ~ "Protecting the environment"
Changing the heat setting
Select the hotplate and change the heat setting using the twist knob.
Switching off the hotplate
Select the hotplate and turn the twist knob until appears. The hotplate switches itself off and the residual heat indicator lights up.
Notes
If there is no cookware on the induction hotplate,
the heat setting display flashes. After a while, the hotplate will switch itself off.
If there is cookware on the hotplate before
switching the hob on, this is detected at most 20 seconds after touching the main switch and the hotplate is selected automatically. Set the heat setting within the next 10 seconds. Otherwise the hotplate will switch itself off again after 20 seconds. Even if there are several pots and pans on the hob when it is switched on, only one item of cookware is detected.

Sensors and special accessories

The sensors measure the temperature of the saucepan or frying pan throughout the cooking process. This ensures that the power is controlled with high precision and that the right temperature is maintained:
Your hob has two different temperature measuring systems:
Frying sensor function: Temperature sensors are
located underneath the hob. These monitor the temperature of the base of the frying pan.
Cooking sensor function: A wireless temperature
sensor transmits the temperature of the saucepan to the control panel. The sensor is attached to the saucepan.
A wireless temperature sensor is required for the cooking sensor function. You can purchase this from specialist retailers or from our technical after-sales service – you will need to quote the reference number CA060300.
You can find more information about the wireless temperature sensor in the section entitled ~ "Preparation and maintenance of the wireless temperature sensor"
Any cookware that is suitable for induction cooking can be used with the cooking sensor function. You can find information on which types of cookware can be used with an induction hob in the section on ~ "Cooking with induction".

Cooking sensor function (optional)
You can use this function to heat, simmer or cook food, or cook it in a pressure cooker or fry it in a saucepan with sufficient oil at a controlled temperature.
The cooking sensor function is available for all hotplates.
Benefits
The hotplate only heats up when necessary. This
saves energy. Oil or fat will not overheat. The temperature is continuously monitored. This prevents the food from spilling over. The temperature does not need to be readjusted.
A signal will sound once the water or oil has
reached the optimum temperature for adding the food. The table shows if the food needs to be added right at the start.
Notes
Use pots and pans that have a flat base. Do not use
pots and pans that have a thin or domed base.
Fill the saucepan until its contents are above the
silicone patch on the outside of the pan.
When frying with a little oil, use the frying sensor
function.
Position the saucepan in such a way that the
temperature sensor is not pointing towards a different pan.
Do not remove the temperature sensor from the
saucepan during cooking. Once the cooking process has ended, the function can be selected for another hotplate.
Remove the temperature sensor from the saucepan
after cooking. Caution: The temperature sensor may be very hot.
Temperature ranges
Cooking: Thicken foods, e.g. sauces. Bring the food
to the boil at the recommended temperature. Once the food has thickened, simmer at 85 °C. After the audible signal sounds, keep the food at this temperature for the required time.
Boiling: Heat up water with the lid on. It will not boil
over. Set the temperature to 100 °C.
Cooking in a pressure cooker: Follow the
manufacturer's recommendations. Continue cooking for the recommended time once the audible signal has sounded. Set the temperature to 115 °C.
Frying with a large amount of oil in the saucepan:
Heat the oil with the lid on. Once the audible signal has sounded, remove the lid and add the food. Set the temperature to 175 °C.
Notes
Before you cook anything, make sure that the
silicone patch is completely dry.
Always cook with the lid on. Exception: "Frying with
a large amount of oil in the saucepan", temperature 170 °C.
If an audible signal does not sound, make sure that
the lid is on the saucepan.
Never leave oil unattended when it is being heated.
Use oil or fat that is suitable for frying.Do not mix different cooking fats together, e.g. oil and lard. Mixtures of different fats may froth up when hot.
If you are not satisfied with the cooking result, e.g.
when cooking potatoes, next time use more water but keep the recommended temperature setting.

Adhering the silicone patch
The silicone patch attaches the temperature sensor to the cookware.
If you are using a saucepan with the cooking sensor function for the first time, you must attach a silicone patch.
Proceed as follows:
1 The adhesion point on the saucepan must be free of
grease. Clean the saucepan, dry it thoroughly and wipe the adhesion point with a degreasing agent such as alcohol.
2 Remove the protective film from the silicone patch.
Adhere the silicone patch to the correct place on the saucepan using the enclosed template as a guide.
3 Press the silicone patch down, and press on its
inside surface too. The adhesive requires one hour to fully harden. The cookware must not be used or cleaned during this time.
Notes
Cookware with the silicone patch must not be left to
soak in soapy water for long periods.
If the silicone patch comes off, attach a new one.
31
