La Cornue Centenaire, Instructions For Use Manual

Page: 50 / 266

With the control buttons at the front of the hob, you control the electric supply, which
creates a magnetic field. This field induces currents in the base of the pan placed on
the hob.
These currents, called "induction currents", instantly heat the pan which passes on its
heat to the food it contains.
The heat is produced directly inside the pan. Therefore the cooking is done with prac-
tically no energy loss between the induction hob and the food. The appliance's hea-
ting power is used to its full.
By removing the pan from the induction hob, or simply turning the hob off with the
control buttons, you instantly stop the cooking.
After use, stop the induction hob with its control knob; do not just rely on the pan
detection device.
The cooking is totally controlled by an electronic circuit, which provides great flexibility and
incomparable precision of control.
The power and the efficiency of an induction hob are far superior to those of a gas or electric
hob.

Induction Hob La Cornue», supplied with your cooker.
PRECAUTIONS :
- When using a pan with a non-stick coating on the inside (Teflon) with little or no fat, you
can pre-heat it on setting 4 or 5 for a short moment but never use setting 6. You may damage
your pans.
- Do not heat up an unopened tin of food. It may burst open (moreover, this precaution is valid
for all other cooking methods).
Integrated safeguards
Under your hob, a ventilator draws in air, blowing it out through openings at the front. This
protects the electronic circuits from overheating.
A probe constantly monitors the temperature of the electronic circuits. If the temperature
becomes excessively high the hob is automatically turned off.
