6. Before you start

Unpack the device. First check whether all the parts are complete and undamaged. If any items are
missing or damaged, please phone our hotline (see "Guarantee information" on page 24). Keep the
packaging material away from children and dispose of appropriately.

6.1 Introduction to induction cooking

Cooking with an induction hotplate works differently to what you are used to from normal hotplates. The
heat is generated by means of an electromagnetic field in the base of the cooking vessel and not by
means of heat resistors in the heating zone (2). This saves energy and reduces cooking times.
At high power, the content of the cooking vessel is heated much quicker, it also reacts much more quickly
to the temperature being turned down. You could say that using an induction hotplate is very similar to
cooking with gas.
But you do need special induction-compatible cookware with a ferromagnetic base.

6.2 Suitable cookware

Only use ferromagnetic cookware which is suitable for induction hotplates. These should be labelled
accordingly when you buy them. Cookware made of non-magnetic metals (aluminium, copper, etc.) and
other materials (e.g. ceramics, porcelain, glass, etc.) is not suitable.
The base of the cookware must be able to stand flat on the induction hotplate, be smooth and have a
diameter of between 16 and 22 cm.
If the cookware is not the right diameter or is made of unsuitable material, the hotplate automatically
switches off. A beeper sounds every 4 seconds and the error E0 is shown on the display (7).
