The hob
The hob is equipped with an induction cooking mode. An induction
coil underneath the glass ceramic hob generates an electromagnetic
alternating field which penetrates the glass ceramic and induces the
heat-generating current in the pot base.
With an induction cooking zone the heat is no longer transferred from
a heating element through the cooking pot into the food being cooked;
instead the necessary heat is generated directly in the container by
means of induction currents.
Advantages of the induction hob
•
Energy-saving cooking through the direct transfer of energy to
the pot (suitable pots/pans made of magnetisable material are
required).
•
Increased safety as the energy is only transferred when a pot is
placed on the hob.
•
Highly effective energy transfer between an induction cooking
zone and the base of a pot.
•
Rapid heat-up.
•
The risk of burns is low as the cooking area is only heated
through the pan base; food which boils over does not stick to the
surface.
•
Rapid, sensitive control of the energy supply.
Pan recognition
If a cooking zone is switched on and there is no pan on the zone or if
the pan is too small, there will be no transmission of power. A blinking
in the power level indicator points this out.
If a suitable pot or pan is placed on the cooking zone, the power set-
ting will switch on and the power setting indicator will light up.
The power supply will be cut off when the pan is removed and the
power setting indicator will indicate a blinking .
If the pots and pans placed on the cooking zone are of smaller di-
mension, and the pan recognition still switches on, less power will be
supplied.
Pan recognition limits
The base of pots and pans must be of a certain diameter; if it is not,
the induction heat will not be switched on. Always place pots and pans
in the middle of a cooking zone in order to achieve the best efficiency.
Operation time limit
The induction hob has an automatic time limit function.
The duration of continuous use of each cooking zone depends on the
cooking level selected (see chart).
This requires that the setting of a respective cooking zone is not
adjusted during use.
If the operation time limit has been activated, the cooking zone will
switch off, a short signal will sound and an H will appear in the display.
The automatic switch-off function overrules the operation time limit,
i.e. the cooking zone is only switched off when the period of time of
the automatic switch-off device has expired (e.g. automatic switch-off
after 99 minutes and cooking level 9 is possible).
Other functions
If two or more sensor keys are pressed at the same time (e.g. when a
pan is mistakenly put onto a sensor key) no function will be activated.
An acoustic signal sounds and ER03 will appear. After a few seconds
the appliance will switch off. Please remove the item located in front of
the sensor keys.
Protection against overheating (induction)
If the hob is used at full power for a longer period, it will not be pos-
sible to cool down the electronics system as required at a high room
temperature. In order to ensure that no excessive temperatures occur
in the electronics system the power of the cooking zones may be
reduced automatically.
Should E2 or ER21 be displayed frequently during normal use of the
hob and at normal room temperature, it is likely that cooling is not
sufficient.
This may occur if kitchen units have no openings. The installation may
have to be checked (see the section on Ventilation).
Operation
Important
The minimum diameter required to activate the pan recognition
device may vary according to the type of pot or pan used!
