6.1 Cookware
For induction cooking zones
a strong electro-magnetic
field creates the heat in the
cookware very quickly.
Use the induction cooking
zones with suitable
cookware.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled
steel, stainless steel, multi-layer
bottom (with a correct marking from a
manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper,
brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is suitable for an induction
hob if:
• water boils very quickly on a zone set
to the highest heat setting.
• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of
the cookware.
The bottom of the cookware
must be as thick and flat as
possible.
Ensure pan bases are clean
and dry before placing on
the hob surface.
Cookware dimensions
Induction cooking zones adapt to the
dimension of the bottom of the
cookware automatically.
The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The
cookware with a diameter smaller than
the minimum receives only a part of the
power generated by the cooking zone.
Refer to "Technical data".
6.2 The noises during
operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of
different materials (a sandwich
construction).
• whistle sound: you use a cooking
zone with a high power level and the
cookware is made of different
materials (a sandwich construction).
• humming: you use a high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not
indicate any malfunction.
6.3 Hints & Tips for
SenseBoil®
The function works best for boiling water
and preparing potatoes.
It does not work with cast
iron and non-stick cookware,
e.g. with a ceramic coating.
Enamelled steel pots are
recommended for achieving
the best results while boiling
potatoes.
Check if the pot you chose is suitable for
SenseBoil® by monitoring the first
cooking session.
To use SenseBoil® efficiently follow the
advice below:
• Fill between half to three quarters of
the pot with cold tap water leaving 4
cm from the rim of the pot empty. Do
not use less than 1 or more than 5
litres of water. Make sure the total
weight of the water (or the water and
potatoes) ranges between 1-5 kg.
• If you want to cook potatoes, make
sure they are completely covered with
water, but remember to leave at least
one quarter of the pot empty.
• To achieve the best results cook only
whole, unpeeled, medium-sized
potatoes.
• Avoid producing external vibrations
(e.g. from using a blender or placing a
mobile phone next to the appliance)
when the function is running.
• If you want to use salt, add it after the
water reaches the boiling point.
• The function may not work properly
for water kettles and espresso pots.
6.4 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)
To save energy, the heater of the
cooking zone deactivates before the
count down timer sounds. The difference
in the operation time depends on the
