Cookers

An induction cooker heats the base of the pan directly with a magnetic field, so it responds to the power setting immediately and the glass only warms up from the heat of the pan. A ceramic cooker heats with elements under the glass, and its smooth surface is easy to clean. A cast iron cooker is traditional and simple, but it is the slowest to heat up and cool down. Induction needs pans with a magnetic base, while almost any pan works on ceramic and cast iron.

In a fan oven a fan circulates hot air through the whole oven cavity, so the heat is spread evenly. You can bake on several trays at once, and the result is more even than with top and bottom heat alone. Most cookers in our range have a fan oven, including all the induction cookers. The cast iron cookers in our range do not.

Yes. Almost all electric cookers are connected to a 400-volt three-phase supply. If your kitchen already has a cooker connection, we deliver the cooker in towns with a Euronics store and install it in the prepared space; the service covers deliveries within 10 km of the store, and prices vary between stores. A new connection or any change to the electrical installation is always done by a qualified electrician.

Clean the glass of a ceramic or induction cooker with a soft cloth and a cleaner made for glass ceramic surfaces. Scrape off melted sugar and plastic with a hob scraper while the surface is still warm, because as they cool they can damage the glass. Wipe cast iron plates with a damp cloth and heat them briefly to dry, so they do not rust. An abrasive sponge will scratch the glass.

Depending on the model, a child lock locks the cooker's buttons, the control panel or the oven door, and it is useful in a family with small children. Locked buttons stop the cooker from being switched on by accident, and a door lock keeps a hot oven closed. If you want the power to the hotplates cut automatically when the cooker is left on, choose a safety cooker or get a stove guard for your current cooker. A stove alarm warns you with a sound but does not cut the power.
