OPERATION
Inductive hotplate – principles of operation
Electric generator supplies power to a coil located inside
the appliance. As the coil generates magnetic field, in
-
duced currents permeable to a pot placed on the plate.
The currents make the pot a true heat transmitter while
the glass surface of the plate remains cold.
The system provides for the usage of pots with bottoms susceptible to magnetic field.
In general the inductive technology is characterised by two features:
• the entire heat emitted by the pot can be utilized,
• lack of thermal inertia phenomenon as cooking starts automatically once a pot is put on
the plate and ends once it is taken off the plate.
Fan:
Protects and cools the control and power components. It works automatically with two
speeds. Fan runs until the electronic system has sufficiently cooled down regardless of the
appliance or the cooking zones being turned on or off.
Protection of electronic circuits:
Temperature of electronic circuits is continuously moni-
tored by a temperature sensor. If temperature is raised beyond a safe level, this protection
system will reduce cooking zone heating power or shut down the cooking zones adjacent to
the overheated electronic circuits. This is indicated by the appearance of the E2 symbol on
the display. Once the cooking zone cools down, the symbol will go out automatically.
Detection:
Pot detection enables the plate operation and, consequently, heating. Small ob-
jects left on a hotplate (i.e. a teaspoon, knife or ring) will not be treated as pots and will not
cause the plate to switch on.
Before first use
• carefully clean the ceramic plate treating it as a glass surface,
• when used for the first time the plate can give off a bit of a smell so switch on the ventilation
system or open the window,
• operate the plate observing the safety instructions.
