Induction How induction works Under each induction cooking zone there is an induction coil. When the cooking zone is switched on, the coil generates a magnetic field that acts directly on the bottom of the cookware to heat it up. The cooking zone heats up indirectly from the heat given off by the cookware. Induction only works with cookware that has a magnetizable bottom (see Cookware). The induction process automatically takes into account the size of the cookware being used.
Induction Noises When you use an induction cooking zone, the following noises may occur, depending on the the type and shape of the cookware bottom: – The zone may hum at higher power settings. The humming will become quieter or disappear if you lower the power setting. – Cookware with bottoms made of different materials (e.g. sandwich bottoms) may produce a crackling noise.
Induction Cookware Suitable cookware is made of: – stainless steel with a magnetizable bottom – enamel-coated steel – cast iron. Unsuitable cookware is made of: – stainless steel with a non-magnetizable bottom – aluminium, copper – glass, ceramics, earthenware, stoneware. If you are not sure whether a pot or pan is suitable for induction, you can test it using a magnet against the bottom. If the magnet sticks, the cookware can be used.
Use The basics of use Your glass ceramic cooktop is equipped with sensors which respond to touch. To operate the cooktop, simply touch the relevant sensor. An audio signal confirms each touch of the sensor. The cooking zones and the timer must be active if you want to set or change a power level or time. To activate a cooking zone or the timer, touch the sensor of the desired cooking zone or timer. When you touch the sensor, the respective cooking zone or timer display starts flashing.
