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
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
