HOB - HINTS AND TIPS

Refer to Safety chapters.

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.
• recommended: aluminium, copper
• not recommended: stainless steel, cast iron, glass

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.

Minimum cookware diameter

Cooking zone	Cookware diameter (mm)	Power (W)
Left rear	125 - 140	1400/2500
Right rear	145 - 180	1800/2800
Right front	145 - 180	1800/2800
Left front	180 - 210	2300/3600

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.

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 heat setting level and the length of the cooking operation.

Simplified cooking guide

The correlation between the heat setting of a zone and its consumption of power is not linear. When you increase the heat setting, it is not proportional to the increase of the consumption of power. It means that a cooking zone with the medium heat setting uses less than a half of its power.

The data in the table is for guidance only.

Heat setting	Use to:	Time (min)	Hints
- 1	Keep cooked food warm.	as necessary	Put a lid on the cookware.
1 - 2.	Hollandaise sauce; melt: butter, chocolate, gelatine.	5 - 25	Mix from time to time.
2.	Solidify: fluffy omelettes, baked eggs.	10 - 40	Cook with a lid on.

OVEN - HINTS AND TIPS

Refer to Safety chapters.

The temperature and baking times in the tables are guidelines only. They depend on the recipes and the quality and quantity of the ingredients used.

Top oven

The top oven is smaller than the main oven. It has 3 shelf positions. Use it to cook smaller quantities of food. It is especially good for baking fruitcakes, cookies, savoury flans or quiche.

Main oven

The main oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food.

Baking

For the first baking, use the lower temperature.
You can extend the baking time by 10 – 15 minutes if you bake cakes on more than one shelf position.
Cakes and pastries at different heights do not always brown equally. There is no need to change the temperature setting if an unequal browning occurs. The differences equalize during baking.
Trays in the oven can distort during baking. When the trays are cold again, the distortions disappear.

Tips on baking

Baking results	Possible cause	Remedy
The bottom of the cake is not baked sufficiently.	The shelf position is incorrect.	Put the cake on a lower shelf.
The cake sinks and becomes soggy or streaky.	The oven temperature is too high.	Next time set slightly lower oven temperature.
	The oven temperature is too high and the baking time is too short.	Next time set a longer baking time and lower oven temperature.
The cake is too dry.	The oven temperature is too low.	Next time set higher oven temperature.
	The baking time is too long.	Next time set shorter baking time.
The cake bakes unevenly.	The oven temperature is too high and the baking time is too short.	Next time set a longer baking time and lower oven temperature.
	The cake batter is not evenly distributed.	Next time spread the cake batter evenly on the baking tray.
The cake is not ready in the baking time specified in a recipe.	The oven temperature is too low.	Next time set a slightly higher oven temperature.
