Cookware For Induction; Energy Saving - AEG HK764400XB Benutzerinformation

5.1 Cookware for induction

cooking zones
Use the induction cooking zones
with correct cookware.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled
steel, stainless steel, the bottom made
of multi-layer (with correct mark from a
manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass,
glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an induction
hob if ...
• ... some water boils very quickly on a
zone set to the highest heat setting..
• ... a magnet pulls on to the bottom of
the cookware.
The bottom of the cookware
must be as thick and flat as possi-
ble.
5.2 Use of the cooking zones
IMPORTANT
Put the cookware on the cross which is
on the surface that you cook. Cover the
cross fully. The magnetic part of the bot-
tom of the cookware must be 125 mm
minimum. Induction cooking zones
adapt to the dimension of the bottom of
the cookware automatically. You can
cook with the large cookware on two
cooking zones at the same time.
5.3 The noises during
operation
If you can hear
• crack noise: cookware is made of dif-
ferent materials (Sandwich construc-
tion).
• whistle sound: you use one or more
cooking zones with high power levels
and the cookware is made of different
materials (Sandwich construction).
• humming: you use high power levels.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not re-
fer to appliance malfunction.

5.4 Energy saving

How to save energy
• If it is possible, always put the lids on
the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone be-
fore you start it.
• Use the residual heat to keep the food
warm or to melt it.
The cooking zone efficiency
The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The cook-
ware with a smaller diameter than the
minimum receives only a part of the
power generated by the cooking zone.
For the minimum diameters see the
Technical Information chapter.
5.5 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)
To save energy, the heater of the
cooking zone deactivates before
the count down timer sounds.
The difference in the operation
time depends on the heat setting
level and the length of the cook-
ing operation.
5.6 The Examples of cooking
applications
The relation between the heat setting
and the cooking zone consumption of
power is not linear.
When you increase the heat setting it is
not proportional to the increase of the
cooking zone consumption of power.
It means that the cooking zone with the
medium heat setting uses less than a
half of its power.

ance only.
