Induction cooking zones adapt to the
dimension of the bottom of the cookware
automatically to some limit.
The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The
cookware with a smaller diameter than the
minimum receives only a part of the power
generated by the cooking zone.
Refer to "Technical
information" chapter.
6.2 The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of
different materials (sandwich
construction).
• whistle sound: you the cooking zone
with high power level and the
cookware is made of different materials
(sandwich construction).
• humming: you use high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not
refer to hob malfunction.
6.3 Energy saving
• If it is possible, always put the lids on
the cookware.
Heat setting
Use to:
Keep cooked food warm.
- 1
1 - 3
Hollandaise sauce, melt: but-
ter, chocolate, gelatine.
1 - 3
Solidify: fluffy omelettes,
baked eggs.
3 - 5
Simmer rice and milkbased
dishes, heating up ready-
cooked meals.
5 - 7
Steam vegetables, fish, meat. 20 - 45
7 - 9
Steam potatoes.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone
before you start it.
• Use the residual heat to keep the food
warm or to melt it.
6.4 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 cooking
operation.
6.5 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.
