Cookware Guidance

What Pots to Use

Only use pots and pans with bottoms made from ferromagnetic material which are suitable for use with induction hobs:

• Cast iron
• Enamelled steel
• Carbon steel
• Stainless steel (although not all)
• Aluminium with ferromagnetic coating or ferromagnetic plate

To determine if a pot or pan is suitable, check for the [suitability symbol] symbol (usually stamped on the bottom). You can also hold a magnet to the bottom. If it clings to the underside, the cookware will work on an induction hob.

To ensure optimum efficiency, always use pots and pans with a flat bottom that distributes the heat evenly. If the bottom is uneven, this will affect power and heat conduction.

How to Use

Minimum Diameter of Pot/Pan Base for Different Cooking Areas

To ensure that the hob functions properly, the pot must cover one or more of the reference points indicated on the surface of the hob, and must be of a suitable minimum diameter. Always use the cooking zone that best corresponds to the diameter of the bottom of the pan.

Empty or Thin-Based Pots/Pans

Do not use empty or thin-based pots/pans on the hob as it will not be able to monitor the temperature or turn off automatically if the temperature is too high, potentially damaging the pan or the hob surface. If this occurs, do not touch anything and wait for all components to cool down.

If an error message appears, refer to "Troubleshooting".

Hint/Tips: Noise During Cooking

When a cooking zone is active, it may hum briefly. This is a characteristic of all ceramic glass cooking zones and does not impair the function or life of the appliance. The noise depends on the cookware used. If it causes considerable disturbance, it may help to change the cookware.

Care and Cleaning

Warning! Switch the appliance off and let it cool down before disconnecting it.

Warning! Switch the appliance off and let it cool down before you clean it.

Warning! For safety reasons, do not clean the appliance with steam blasters or high-pressure cleaners.

Warning! Sharp objects and abrasive cleaning agents will damage the appliance. Clean the appliance and remove the residues with water and washing up liquid after each use. Remove also the remnants of the cleaning agents!

Note: Scratches or dark stains on the glass ceramic that cannot be removed do not affect the functioning of the appliance.

Removing Residues and Stubborn Residues

• Food containing sugar, plastics, or tin foil residues should be removed at once. The best tool for cleaning glass surfaces is a scraper (not included with the appliance). Place a scraper on the glass ceramic surface at an angle and remove residues by sliding the blade over the surface. Wipe the appliance with a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid. Finally, rub the appliance dry using a clean cloth.
• Limescale rings, water rings, fat splashes, and shiny metallic discolorations should be removed after the appliance has cooled down using a cleaner for glass ceramic or stainless steel.

Troubleshooting

Error codes show when the hob is powered on and an error is detected; E and numbers are displayed intermittently (1 second) and circulation.

If there is a fault, try to resolve it by following the troubleshooting guidelines. If the problem cannot be resolved, contact your nearest IKEA store.

Note: If you operated the appliance wrongly, the dealer may not take place free of charge, even during the warranty period.
