Check that
• the pan or frying-pan has a
magnetic bottom.
• the pan or frying-pan is not too
small.
2 Choose the desired setting with
or . Remember that the pan heats
up much faster than on an ordinary
hob.
3 Turn off the hob after use.
The zones share the heating effect
NOTE
that when the two rear or the two front
induction zones are switched on at the same
time, they share the heating effect. This is
shown by a clicking sound from the hob and
the fact that cooking may possibly increase
and decrease.
The reason is that they share the same
energy source. In order to utilise the
maximum top effect (booster) on a zone, then
the effect of the other zones must be reduced
(this is done automatically).
It is possible to use both zones at the same
time, even with one set on booster.
BUT
REMEMBER
that one zone has a reduced effect,
which means a longer cooking time. In the
case of other settings, you will not notice any
great difference, no zone has priority over the
others.
A certain sound can occur when using
certain pans.
A SIMPLE INDUCTION PRINCIPLE
When a current passes through a coil, it
creates a magnetic field. Under a heating
zone there is a coil (A) fitted with ferrite rods
(b). When a pan (with a magnetic bottom) is
placed on the zone, the coil and rods create an
almost closed magnetic system. The energy
produced heats up the pan and its contents.
