Choosing the Right Cookware
When purchasing cookware for use on the induction hob, look for cookware identified by the manufacturer as "induction ready" or "induction capable", or that is marked by the manufacturer as specifically designed for induction cooking.
The base material of the cookware must be magnetic for the cooking elements to activate. Use a magnet to check if the cookware base material is suitable. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, the cookware can be used for induction cooking.
Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
Make sure that the base of your cookware is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the same size as the cooking zone. Use cookware whose diameter is as large as the graphic of the zone selected. Using a pot slightly wider will ensure that energy will be used with maximum efficiency. If you use a pot smaller than the cooking zone, efficiency could be less than expected. Pot smaller than 120 mm could be undetected by the hob. Always centre your cookware on the cooking zone.
- Cookware placement in flexible zones
Always lift cookware directly off the Induction hob.
Detection of Small Articles
When an unsuitable size or non-magnetic cookware (e.g. aluminium), or some other small item (e.g. knife, fork, key) has been left on the hob, the hob automatically goes to standby after 1 minute.
