Induction warming has many advantages. Here are the key ones:
•
Very high effectiveness of around 95 % = high efficiency = high warming capacity = minimal power loss
•
Ready to use immediately at full power, because electrical energy is converted instantly into heat in the pan base
– no heating-up time!
•
Low energy consumption compared to electrical warming systems
•
Very short boiling time with highly sensitive energy metering
•
Minimal radiation of heat = lowest possible temperature in the kitchen = optimum working environment and
minimal levels of vapour
•
Optimum hygiene and very easy cleaning
•
Very low operating costs (energy, cleaning)
•
Safety electronics for high operating safety (dish recognition, idle cut-out, overheat protection)
Dishes
Poor-quality or damaged dishes can pose a risk to your InductWarm
®
130 appliance! Worn-out dishes can cause the
electronics to overheat excessively, reducing their lifespan. Buckled and worn-out dishes are dangerous. Because the
base of the dish is often deformed as a result, there is no proper heatconducting contact between the dish and the
ceramic plate, and the fitted heat sensor cannot respond. Loss of energy can be the result. Make sure that dishes items
have flat bases. This will save energy and preserve the warming plate.
If there occurs an overheating of the dishes, because they are brought to a high temperature when empty, the material
and the thickness of the base that determine how efficiently induction power is converted into effective heat in the
dishes will be modified. The overheating of the dishes can cause warpings of the bases so warped dishes can no longer
lie flat on the glass ceramic. It may not be possible to automatically prevent the pan from overheating again to very
high temperatures (potentially becoming red-hot), which could have serious consequences for your InductWarm

induction appliance or, in the worst-case scenario, kitchen staff.
Induction hobs are designed for a particular range of dish sizes with which they function efficiently and well. Dishes
that are much too small being used on a large hob may not be detected by the automatic dish recognition, and the
energy supply may stay switched off. Dishes that are much too large cannot absorb energy from the whole base area,
so it will take longer to heat up and may not reach the desired temperature. Square and oval dishes can be easily hea-
ted on specially designed hobs. If they are heated on round hobs of insufficient size, the base will not heat up evenly.

Suitable Dishes:
• Cookware with magnetic bottom (ferreous)
• Enamel-coated steel pots with thick bases
• Cast-iron pots with enamel-coated bases
• Pots made of stainless steel, multi-layered steel, stainless steel ferrite steel or aluminium with special base
Unsuitable Dishes:
• Pots made of copper, aluminium, heat-resistant glass and other non-metallic pots
• Pots made of stainless steel without a magnet iron core
• Aluminium foil and dished wrapped in aluminium foil
• Pots that do not sit flat on the hob
Gastros recommends using InductWarm® porcalain in combination with InductWarm® 200 device to keep food
warm by best quality. Operation of the InductWarm® porcelain. The heat-retaining InductWarm® porcelain has
been provided with a specially patented coating that allows the inductive effect to occur in the first place. The inducti
-
ve effect in the warming zone causes the underside of the porcelain to quickly warm up, thus keeping your meal warm.
Purchasing Heat-retaining Porcelain You can purchase additional InductWarm® porcelain at any time. More infor-
mation can be found on our website at: www.gastros.swiss
The dish must be positioned in the middle of a warming zone, centering the the markings (the circles) to the centre of
the pot. Otherwise the pots may not be recognised by the device or receive only very little energy for warming the dish.
Care should be taken to ensure that the glass plate is not scratched by the edges of the dish when the dish is placed
on and taken off the plate.
•
It is essential to avoid leaving an empty induction-compatible pot dish in the warming zone. The bottom
of the dish and the warming zone could suffer damage.

The ferromagnetic InductWarm
®
porcelain is not suitable to be used with microwaves or with induction
cookers! In
addition, avoid allowing the temperature of the porcelain to change too quickly to prevent a
risk of rupture or breakage.
