Instructions for the User
36
Carry out the magnet test described below or check whether the container bears the
stamp indicating that it is suitable for cooking with an induction current.
Magnet test:
Move the magnet towards the base of your cooking container. If the magnet is
attracted, you can use the container on the induction hob.
Note!
While using some manufacturers' saucepans for induction cooking, a hissing sound can be
heard due to the methods of manufacture of the saucepans themselves.
Take care while using 'bain marie'-type saucepans as the water can boil away without the user
realising. This can result in damage to the saucepan and the hob for which we cannot be held
liable.
6.7 Advice on energy-saving
Below you will find advice on how to use your new hob effectively and economically.
• The diameter of the base of the saucepan must correspond to the diameter of the cooking zone.
• When buying a saucepan, check whether the diameter indicated is that of the base or the top of the
container, as the top is almost always larger than the base.
• When preparing dishes with long cooking times, you can save time and energy by using a pressure
cooker, which also makes it possible to preserve the vitamins in the food.
• Make sure that the pressure cooker contains enough liquid, as, if there is not enough and it
overheats, this may cause damage to both the pressure cooker and the cooking zone.
• If possible, always cover saucepans with a suitable lid.
• Choose a saucepan suitable for the quantity of food to be cooked. A large, half-empty saucepan
leads to a waste of energy.
