5.2 Electric connection
WARNING! Electric shock hazard!
The device can cause injuries due to improper installation!
Before installation the local power grid specification
should be compared with that of the device (see type
label). Connect the device only in case of compliance!
The device must only be connected to a properly
installed single socket with protective contact.
•
The electrical circuit of the socket must be secured to at least 16A. Only connect
the device to a wall outlet; do not use any extension cords or power strips.
6. Operation
6.1 Functionality of induction cookers
With induction cooker, an electric voltage is applied on a conductor spool beneath the
glass. This creates magnetic fields, which directly heat up the bottom of the cookware
through a physical effect.
This means saving time and energy, because contrary to common hotplates, the
cookware is heated up, not the heating element and the glass.
Due to the technical characteristics described above, another advantage is the very
short start-up cooking time.
In addition, the heat supply promptly adapts to changed settings and can be controlled in
small steps. The induction cooker reacts to changed settings just as fast as a gas stove,
as the energy reaches the pot immediately without having to heat up other materials first.
The induction technology combines this fast reaction with the basic advantage of
electricity, meaning being able to exactly adjust the heat supply.
