OPERATION
The high-quality cookware is an essential condition for efficient induction cooking.
Select cookware for induction cooking
Cookware characteristics.
● Always use high quality cookware, with perfectly flat base. This prevents the formation
of local hot spots, where food might stick.Pots and pans with thick steel walls provide
superior heat distribution.
● Make sure that cookware base is dry: when filling a pot or when using a pot taken out of
the refrigerator make sure its base is completely dry before placing it on the cooking zone.
This is to avoid soiling the surface of the hob.
● Lid prevents heat from escaping and thus reduces heating time and lowers energy con-
sumption.
● To determine if cookware is suitable, make sure that its base attracts a magnet.
● Cookware base has to be flat for optimal temperature control by the induction
module.
● The concave base or deep embossed logo of the manufacturer interfere with the
temperature induction control module and can cause overheating of the pot or pan.
● Do not use damaged cookware such as cookware with deformed base due to exces-
sive heat.
● When you use large ferromagnetic base cookware, whose diameter is less than the total
diameter of the cookware, only the ferromagnetic base heats up. This results in a situ-
ation where it is not possible to uniformly distribute the heat
in the cookware. If the ferromagnetic area is reduced due to
inclusion of aluminium parts then the effective heated area can
be reduced. Problems with the detection of the cookware could
arise or cookware may not be detected at all. To achieve optimum
cooking results, the diameter of the ferromagnetic base should
match that of the cooking zone. If cookware is not detected in a
given cooking zone, it is advisable to try it in a smaller cooking
zone.
