For facetted cooktops (with bevelled glass edging): In the first few days after installation, a small gap may be visible between the cooktop and the countertop. This will diminish over time. Despite the small gap, the electrical safety of the appliance remains intact.
Before the first use Manual calibration ^ First ensure that no direct light (either sunlight or artificial light) is falling on the cooktop. As well, the area around the cooktop should neither be too dark nor should the lighting conditions be constantly changing.
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 pot/pan to heat it up. The cooking zone heats up indirectly, only from the heat given off by the pot/pan.
Noise 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 the higher power settings. The humming will become quieter or disappear if you lower the power setting.
Induction Cookware Type of 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 – Aluminum, copper – Glass/ceramic/earthenware/ stoneware If you are not sure whether a pot or pan is suitable for induction, you can test it...
