OPERATION
Before using the appliance for the first time
Induction cooking zone operation principle
Electric oscillator powers a coil placed inside the appliance.
This coil produces a magnetic field, which induces eddy cur-
rents in the pot, when it is placed on the hob.
These currents make the pot real transmitters of heat, while the
hob glass surface remains cool.
This requires the use of pots whose base is ferromagnetic, in other words susceptible to
magnetic fields.
Overall, induction technology is characterized by two advantages:
The protective device:
If the hob has been installed correctly and is used properly, any protective devices are rarely
required.
Fan: protects and cools controls and power components. It can operate at two different
speeds and is activated automatically. Fan runs until the electronic system has sufficiently
cooled down regardless of the appliance or the cooking zones being turned on or off.
Temperature sensor: Temperature of electronic circuits is continuously monitored by a
temperature sensor. If temperature is raised beyond a safe level, this protection system will
reduce cooking zone heat setting or shut down the cooking zones adjacent to the over-
heated electronic circuits.
Pan detection:
allows the hob to detect pans placed on a cooking zone. Small objects
placed on the cooking zone (eg, spoon, knife, ring ...) will not be recognised as pans and
the hob will not operate.
•
●Thoroughly clean your induction hob first. The induction hob should be treated with the
same care as a glass surface.
•
●Switch on the ventilation in the room or open a window, as the appliance could emit an
unpleasant smell during first use.
•
●Operate the appliance while observing all safety guidelines.
•
●The heat is only emitted by the pot and its use is maximised,
•
●There is no thermal inertia, since the cooking starts immediately when the pot is placed
on the hob and ends once it is removed.
