If you follow these tips, your appliance consumes less energy.
Select cookware with a base diameter that matches the cooking zone. Center the cookware on the cooking zone.
Tip: For frying pans, cookware manufacturers usually state the top diameter of the cookware. The diameter of the pan base is usually smaller.
Close cookware with a fitting lid.
Only lift the lid when necessary.
Use a glass lid.
Use cookware with a solid flat bottom.
Use a cookware size that matches the amount of food you want to cook.
Cook with a small amount of water.
Select a lower power level as soon as possible. Select a suitable power level to continue cooking.
Induction cooking is fundamentally different from traditional cooking methods, since the heat builds up directly in the cookware. This offers numerous advantages:
Only ferromagnetic cookware is suitable for induction cooking. For example:
You can find additional information on which items of cookware are suitable for the induction cooking under In order to achieve a good cooking result, ensure that the ferromagnetic area of the cookware base corresponds to the size of the cooking zone. If the cookware is not detected on a cooking zone, place it on a cooking zone with a smaller diameter.
If you use the FlexZone as a single cooking zone, you can use larger cookware that is particularly suited to this zone. You can find additional information about the positioning of the appliances under.
The base of many items of induction cookware is not fully ferromagnetic:
If you use large cookware with a smaller ferromagnetic base, only the area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat is not distributed evenly. The temperature of the non ferromagnetic area may therefore be too low for cooking.
Cookware bases that contain aluminum reduce the ferromagnetic area. This may reduce the output and the cookware will not be detected sufficiently or at all, and will therefore not be heated sufficiently.
Never use heat diffuser plates or cookware made of the following:
The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is made may affect the cooking result. Cookware made of materials that distribute heat evenly in the pot, such as saucepans with a stainless steel sandwich base, save time and energy.
You should preferably use cookware with a flat base because uneven cookware bases impair the heat supply.
If you do not place cookware on the selected cooking zone or the cookware is made of an unsuitable material or is not the right size for the cooking zone, the display for the cooking zone flashes. To make the display go out, place a suitable item of cookware on the cooking zone. If you do not place a suitable item of cookware on the cooking zone within 90 seconds, it automatically switches off.
Do not heat empty cookware and do not use cookware with a thin base. The cooktop is equipped with an internal safety system. However, empty cookware may heat up so quickly that the "Automatic switch-off" function does not respond quickly enough and an excessive temperature is reached. As a result, the base of the cookware may melt and damage the glass plate. In this case, do not touch the cookware; switch off the cooking zone. If the cooking zone no longer works after cooling down, contact Customer Service.
Each cooking zone has a minimum limit for the cookware detection and this depends on the ferromagnetic diameter and the material of the base of the cookware. Therefore, use the cooking zone that best corresponds to the diameter of the pan base.
These cooking zones can detect cookware of different sizes. Depending on the material and the properties of the cookware, the cooking zone automatically adapts to the single, double or triple cooking zone in such a way that the corresponding power level is transferred in order to achieve a good cooking result.

You can use the flexible cooking zone as one large cooking zone, or as two separate cooking zones. The flexible cooking zone has 4 induction elements, which are controlled independently from each other. When you use the FlexInduction™ function, only the area that is covered by cookware is activated.
Place the cookware in the middle of the cooking zone.
This assures optimal pot detection and heat distribution.
Possible cookware positions | Explanation |
The cookware diameter is smaller than or equal to 5⅛" (13 cm). Place the cookware on one of the four positions shown in the illustration. | |
The cookware diameter is larger than 5⅛" (13 cm). Place the cookware on one of the three positions shown in the illustration. | |
The cookware takes up more than one of the positions shown above. Position the cookware starting on the upper or lower edge of the flexible cooking zone. |
Possible cookware positions | Explanation |
The front and rear cooking zones each have two induction elements. They can be used independently of each other. Use only one item of cookware on each cooking zone. Select the required heat setting for each of the cooking zones. |
Not possible cookware position | Explanation |
Position the cookware so that is covers only one of the flexible cooking zones. Otherwise, the cooking zones will not be activated as intended and the cooking result will not be satisfactory. |
Note: The flexible cooking zone operates as two separate cooking zones as a default. If you want the FlexInduction™ function to be activated automatically you can adjust the basic settings.
→ "Basic settings".
Note: If both cooking zones are set to different power levels before being linked, both cooking zones switch to 0.
You can add a piece of cookware while you are cooking on the flexible cooking zone.
Note: If you remove the cookware from the cooking zone, or lift it up, the cooking zone begins to search for the cookware. The power level stays the same.
Note: If the cooking zone is switched off, and then switched back on again later, the flexible cooking zone is reset to function as two independent cooking zones.
This function activates the entire flexible cooking zone, and divides it into three cooking areas with different preset power levels.
You can move an item of cookware during the cooking process to another cooking area with a different power level without making any settings.
Preset power levels
General information for using this function:
The size of the cooking area depends on the cookware used and whether it is positioned correctly.
Cooking areas for small pans
Cooking areas for large pans
You can change the power levels for the individual cooking areas during the cooking process.
Notes
You can use the Kitchen timer to set a time of up to 99 minutes.
The Kitchen timer is independent from other settings and does not switch off a cooking zone.
You can also use the Kitchen timer when the cooktop is turned off or the panel lock is activated.
Boilovers can cause smoke and some foods and oils may catch fire if left on high temperature settings.
The Count-up timer displays the time that has elapsed since activating the function.
The Count-up timer works independently from the cooking zones and from other settings. This function does not automatically switch off a cooking zone.
Boilovers can cause smoke and some foods and oils may catch fire if left on high temperature settings.
