8 Cooking advice

Quality of the pots and pans
Suitable cookware, pots and pans include: steel, enamelled
steel, cast iron, stainless steel with magnetic base, aluminium
with magnetic base (±100mm min). Unsuitable pans include:
aluminium and stainless steel without magnetic base, copper,
brass, ceramics, porcelain. The manufacturers will state
whether their products are suitable for induction.
In order to ensure your pans are suitable:
– Pour a little water in a pan and place it on an induction
9
cooking zone set to . The water should be hot within a
few seconds.
– 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 (± 9cm) for working with the selected
cooking zone. Place the pan in the middle of the cooking zone
in order to optimise the energy transfer. If the diameter of the
pan is much larger than the zone, this will not result in an
optimal cooking result.
Only the surface of the pan above the induction coil will then
generate the heat. The rest of the surface that is not above the
induction coil will receive heat via conduction through the pan
surface.
Therefore, if the pan is much larger than the cooking zone, it
advised to set the cooking zone to a slightly lower level to allow
the heat to be divided up more evenly.

9 Cleaning and maintenance

Follow all instructions described in the Safety
chapter


Before cleaning, check the cooking plate has
been fully switched off and the glass above the
cooking zones has cooled down.


Follow the cleaning instructions below for a long
life and optimum functioning of the device.
9.1 Maintenance of the hob


First let the device cool down, otherwise there is
a risk of burns.


Never use "steam" or "pressure" equipment.


Never use objects that could damage the vitro-
ceramic glass such as an abrasive sponge,
abrasive cleaning liquid or aggressive cleaning
agents.
Clean the glass of the cooking plate
Wipe the surface clean with some washing-up liquid on a
damp cloth or sponge (it is best to do this after every use), then
dry the hob by rubbing with a dry cloth or with kitchen paper.
Always make sure that all cloths used are clean in order to avoid
scratching the surface.

In case of stubborn stains
Heavy contamination and stains (limescale stains, pearl-
1‐2
like shiny spots) are best removed while the hob is still
warm. For this apply common cleaning agents and cleaning
methods. If this does not work well enough, you can use a
2‐3
specific cleaning product for cleaning vitro-ceramic glass
(for example, Vitroclen)
