Electromagnetic interference
WARNING
This induction cooktop generates and uses ISM frequency energy that heats cookware by using an electromagnetic field. It has been tested and complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules for ISM equipment. This induction cooktop meets the FCC requirements to minimize interference with other devices in residential installation. Induction cooktops may cause interference with television or radio reception. If interference occurs, the user should try to correct the interference by:
ʑ Relocating the receiving antenna
of the radio or television.
ʑ Increasing the distance between
the cooktop and the receiver.
CAUTION
Persons with a pacemaker or similar medical device should exercise caution when standing near an induction cooktop while it is in use. Consult your doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker or similar medical device for additional information about its effects with electromagnetic fields from an induction cooktop.
WARNING
Hazard due to magnetism!
The wireless temperature sensor is magnetic. The magnetic elements can damage electronic implants such as pacemakers or insulin pumps. People with electronic implants should therefore not put the temperature sensor in the pockets of their clothes and should maintain a minimum distance of 4" (10 cm) with respect to their pacemaker or similar medical device.
ʑ Connecting the receiver into an
outlet different than the cooktop.
It is the user’s responsibility to correct any interference.

Cooking with induction
Cooking with induction
Advantages of Induction Cooking
ʑ Place a lid on cookware. Cooking with an uncovered
pan will result in a considerable increase in energy use. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.
ʑ Use cookware equipped with a solid, flat bottom.
Curved pan bases increase energy consumption.
ʑ The diameter of the pan base must match the size of
the element. Note: The manufacturer normally indicates the pan's upper diameter. This is normally greater than the diameter of the pan's base.
ʑ Choose cookware of a size suited to the amount of
food you are going to cook. A large pan that is only half full will use a lot of energy.
ʑ Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves
energy, and vegetables retain a larger percentage of their vitamins and minerals.
ʑ Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If
the power level is too high, energy is wasted.
Induction cooking is fundamentally different from traditional cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the cookware. This offers numerous advantages:
ʑ Saves time when boiling and frying.
ʑ Saves energy.
ʑ Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not
burn on as quickly.
ʑ Heat control and safety – the cooktop increases or
decreases the amount of heat supplied as soon as the user changes the setting. If the cookware is removed, the induction burner immediately interrupts the heat supply without it having been switched off.
Cookware
Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking, such as:
ʑ Cookware made from enameled steel
ʑ Cookware made from cast iron
ʑ Special induction-compatible cookware made from
stainless steel.
To find out whether your cookware is suitable for induction cooking, check whether a magnet is attracted to the base of the item or refer to the manufacturer's specifications.
Some induction cookware does not have a fully ferromagnetic base:
ʑ 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.
12
Cooking with induction en-us
ʑ The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the
material from which the base of the cookware is made contains aluminum, for example. This may mean that the cookware will not become sufficiently hot or even that it will not be detected.
Unsuitable cookware
Do not ever use adapter plates for induction or cookware made of:
ʑ Traditional stainless steel
ʑ Glass
ʑ Clay
ʑ Copper
ʑ Aluminum
Properties of the base of the cookware
Empty cookware or cookware with a thin base
Do not heat empty cookware and do not use cookware that has a thin base. The cooktop is equipped with an internal safety system. However, an empty item of cookware can heat up so quickly that the automatic switch-off function has no time to react and an excessively high temperature is reached. This could melt the base of the cookware and damage the glass plate. If this happens, switch off the cooktop and do not touch the cookware. If the cooktop no longer works once it has cooled down, contact Customer Support.
Pot detection
The cooktop uses the ferromagnetic diameter and material of the base of the cookware to automatically detect the position, size and shape of the cookware being used. Cookware with a base measuring 3½" to 13½" (90 to 340 mm) in diameter is suitable for use.

FP
LQ
FP
LQ
The properties of the base of the cookware can affect the cooking result. Cookware made of materials that distribute heat evenly, such as saucepans with a stainless steel sandwich base, save time and energy.
Cookware with a completely flat base works best. If the base of the cookware is uneven or embossed, this will reduce the heat supplied.
No cookware/cookware of an unsuitable size
Always place cookware inside the usable area of the cooking surface. If the cookware is not positioned correctly, is made of an unsuitable material or is not the right size, the ¢ symbol appears next to the cooking zone display. Move the cookware or try again with a different pot or pan.
If the active cookware is lifted from the cooking surface for longer than 30 seconds, the cooking zone automatically switches off.
Note: The cooking zone displays may show a size and shape that is different from the cookware actually being used. This is normal and does not affect the functioning of the hob. For more information, see the section entitled
a "Frequently-asked questions and answers (FAQ)".
