Warning! Refer to Safety
chapters.
What pots to use
Only use cookware which is suitable for
induction hobs. The cookware must be made
of a ferromagnetic material, such as:
• cast iron;
• enamelled steel;
• carbon steel;
• stainless steel (most types);
• aluminium with ferromagnetic coating or
a ferromagnetic plate.
To determine if a pot or pan is suitable,
check for the symbol
the bottom of the cookware). You can also
hold a magnet to the bottom. If it clings to
the underside, the cookware will work on the
induction hob.
To ensure optimum efficiency, always use
pots and pans with a flat bottom that
distributes the heat evenly. If the bottom is
uneven, this will affect power and heat
conduction.
How to use
Minimum diameter of pot / pan base for
the different cooking areas
To ensure that the hob operates properly,
the cookware must have a suitable minimum
diameter as well as cover one or more of the
reference points indicated on the surface of
the hob.
Always use the cooking zone that best
corresponds to the diameter of the bottom
of the cookware.

Empty or thin-based pots / pans
Do not use empty pots / pans or cookware
with thin bases on the hob as it will not be
able to monitor the temperature, or will turn
off automatically if the temperature is too
high. This may result in the damage of the
cookware or the hob surface. If such a
situation occurs, do not touch anything and
wait for all components to cool down.
If an error message appears, refer to
"Troubleshooting".
Hints / tips
Noises during cooking
When a cooking zone is active, it may hum
briefly. This is characteristic of all ceramic
glass cooking zones and does not impair
either the function or the life of the
appliance. The noise depends on the
cookware used. If it causes considerable
disturbance, it might help to change the
cookware.
