In this section, you can find information about saving

energy and disposing of the appliance.

Energy-saving advice

■Always use the correct lid for each pan. Cooking

without a lid uses a lot more energy. Use a glass lid

to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.

■Use pans with flat bases. Bases that are not flat use

a lot more energy.

■The diameter of the pan base must match the size of

the hotplate. Please note: pan manufacturers usually

provide the diameter for the top of the pan, which is

usually larger than the diameter of the pan base.

■Use a small pan for small amounts of food. A large

pan which is not full uses a lot of energy.

■Use little water when cooking. This saves energy and

preserves all the vitamins and minerals in

vegetables.

■Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If

the power level is too high, energy is wasted.

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly

manner.

The wireless temperature sensor is battery-powered.

Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally

responsible manner.

fInduction cooking

I nduct i on cook i ng

Advantages of induction cooking

Induction cooking is very different from traditional

cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item

of cookware. This offers numerous advantages:

■Saves time when boiling and frying.

■Saves energy.

■Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not

burn on as quickly.

■Heat control and safety – the hob increases or

decreases the heat supply as soon as the user

changes the setting. The induction hotplate stops the

heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed

from the hotplate, without having to switch it off first.

Cookware

Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking,

such as:

■Cookware made from enamelled steel

■Cookware made from cast iron

■Special induction-compatible cookware made from

stainless steel.

To check whether your cookware is suitable for

induction cooking, refer to the section on

~ "Cookware check".

To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic

area on the base of the pan should match the size of

the hotplate. If a hotplate does not detect an item of

cookware, try placing it on another hotplate with a

smaller diameter.

If the only hotplate being used is the flexible cooking

zone, larger cookware that is particularly suited to this

zone can be used. You can find information on

positioning cookware in the section on ~ "Flex Zone".

This appliance is labelled in accordance with

European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning

used electrical and electronic appliances

(waste electrical and electronic equipment -

WEEE). The guideline determines the

framework for the return and recycling of used

appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

Induction cooking en

Some induction cookware does not have a fully

ferromagnetic base:

■If the base of the cookware is only partially

ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic will

heat up. This may mean that heat will not be

distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may

not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.

■The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the

material from which the base of the cookware is

made contains aluminium, for example. This may

mean that the cookware will not become sufficiently

hot or even that it will not be detected.

Unsuitable pans

Never use diffuser hobs or pans made from:

■common thin steel

■glass

■earthenware

■copper

■aluminium

Properties of the base of the cookware

The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is

made can affect the cooking result. Using pots and

pans made from materials that distribute heat evenly

through them, such as stainless-steel pans with a three-

layer base, saves time and energy.

Use cookware with a flat base; if the base of the

cookware is uneven, this may impair the heat supply.

Absence of pan or unsuitable size

If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is

made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size,

the power level displayed on the hotplate indicator will

flash. Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the

flashing. If this takes more than 90 seconds, the

hotplate will switch off automatically.

Empty pans or those with a thin base

Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base.

The hob is equipped with an internal safety system.

However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the

"automatic switch off" function may not have time to

react and the pan may reach very high temperatures.

The base of the pan could melt and damage the glass

on the hob. In this case, do not touch the pan and

switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has

cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance

Service.

Pan detection

Each hotplate has a lower limit for pan detection. This

depends on the diameter of the ferromagnetic area of

the cookware and the material from which its base is

made. For this reason, you should always use the

hotplate that best matches the diameter of the base of

the pan.
