Energy saving tips
We recommend that you use high quality pots and
pans with thick flat bases. Uneven pan bases
lengthen the cooking time unnecessarily.
Choose the correct sized pot or pan for the amount
of food to be prepared. A large pan, which is only
partly full will use much more energy.
Pots and saucepans should always be covered by a
matching lid. The cooking time is shortened and
the energy use reduced.
Switch the cooking level of the cooking zone down
when necessary. Boiling water does not need to
bubble.
Only ferromagnetic receptacles are suitable for
cooking by Induction. To see if your receptacles
are suitable, make sure that they are attracted to a
magnet. Receptacles made of enamelled steel,
cast iron or special stainless-steel receptacles
(designed for cooking by induction) can all be
used. Do not use receptacles made of thin normal
steel or glass, earthenware, copper or aluminium.
When a cooking receptacle is made of unsuitable
material or is too small for the cooking zone, then
the cooking zone does not operate and the
indicator light on the display panel flashes.
Ensure saucepans are not allowed to heat up when
empty. Otherwise, both the saucepan base and the
vitroceramic surface may be damaged.
Observe the manufacturer’s instructions before
using a special receptacle.
