Function of Induction Hobs
Induction hobs are fast reacting, finely controllable,
powerful, economical and safe.
Their functional principle differs considerably from
conventional hobs or hotplates. The induction coil
under the glass ceramic bowl generates a fast
changing magnetic field which heats up the
magnetisable bottom of the cookware directly.
The use of cookware with magnetisable
bottoms is a prerequisite for working with an
induction hob.
The glass ceramic bowl stays relatively cool
because only the hot cookware is heated up.
The power is immediately interrupted when the
cookware is removed from the cooking zone.

still a risk of serious burns.
Cookware
The bottom of the cookware may not
have sharp grooves or sharp edges. Cast
iron cookware may only be used if it has
a smooth surface.
Only use cookware suitable for induction hobs.
This is usually marked by the manufacturer on the
bottom.
The wok is normally suitable for induction if
a magnet sticks to the bottom of the wok.
We recommend you to check the wok before
buying.
You appliance is able to recognise a suitable wok.

should be set
for woks with a plastic coating (e.g. Teflon).
The coating could otherwise be overheated
and damaged.
Cookware can make noises during operation. This
is not a sign of malfunctioning. The function of the
appliance is not impaired in any way.
Your wok must be made from a material
that loses its magnetic effect at rising
temperature (Curie effect).
If you use other woks, there is a danger
that fat or food will overheat and start
burning!
