Hotplate function
principle
• Ceramic glass hob is fitted with three or four hotplates. Hob surface is completely flat and
smooth, without edges to accumulate dirt.
• The hob is fitted with high power induction hotplates. Heat is generated directly at the bottom of
the dish, where it is most needed, without any losses through the ceramic glass surface.
This way the required extent of energy is considerably smaller compared to traditional heaters,
which operate on radiation principle.
• Glass ceramic hotplate is not heated directly, but only by return heat transmitted by the dish.
This heat figures as “remaining heat” after the hotplate is turned off. The induction hotplate
generates heat from the induction coil, installed underneath the ceramic glass surface. The coil
creates magnetic field at the bottom of the dish (which can me magnetized) which in turn
originates whirling flows of current which then heat the hotplate.
IMPORTANT!
In case sugar or other heavily sweetened substance is spilled on the hotplate, wipe it
immediately and remove the sugar residues with a scraper although the cooking zone is still hot,
otherwise the hotplate may be damaged.
Avoid cleaning the cooktop while the cooking zones are still hot, as you may damage the hob.
Appropriate cookware
for induction hotplates
• Induction hotplate will function perfectly only if appropriate cookware is used.
• Dish should be in the middle of the hotplate during cooking.
• The appropriate cookware is the one which enables induction, for example steel, enamel or
steel alloy cookware. Pots made from steel alloy with copper or aluminium bottom, or glass
pots are inappropriate.
• If you use the pressure cooker (“economy pot”) keep it under close surveillance until proper
pressure is obtained. Hotplate should first operate on maximum power, then follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and use the appropriate sensor to decrease the power.
• When buying cookware, check if it bears the label “allows induction”.

Note:
When Bridge function is selected, you can use the created zone in different ways:
▪ With two pots.
▪ With one pot.
If you use larger pots than the recommended maximum size, the heating time will be longer,
because the heating will propagate from center to edges of the pot by conduction, in this
case also the temperature will be very inhomogeneous.
Magnet test
Use small magnet to test if the dish bottom is magnetic. Only dishes where magnet sticks to the
bottom are suitable for induction cooking.
Dish recognition
One of great advantages of the induction hotplate is dish recognition. Even if there are no dishes
upon the hotplate, or the dish diameter is smaller than the diameter of the relevant hotplate,
there are no thermal energy losses. When the hotplate is on, the power indicator displays letter
“U”. If you place the dish over that hotplate within the following 10 minutes, the hotplate
recognizes the dish and turns on to the pre-set power value.
