How the appliance works
An induction coil is located under each cooking zone. When
a cooking zone is switched on, this coil creates a magnetic
field which impacts directly on the base of the pan and heats
it up. The cooking zone itself is heated up indirectly by the
heat given off by the pan.
An induction cooking zone only works when a ferromagnetic
pan is placed on it (see "Pans").
Induction automatically recognises the size of the pan, i.e.
heat is only generated in the area covered by the base of the
pan.
The cooking zone
will not work
:
– if it is switched on without a pan in place, or if the pan is
unsuitable (non-magnetic base).
– if the diameter of the base of the pan is too small.
– if the pan is taken off the cooking zone when it is switched
on.
If this happens,
ß
will flash in the relevant cooking zone
display alternating with the power setting selected .
If a suitable pan is placed on the cooking zone within
3 minutes,
ß
will go out and you can continue as normal.
If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed on the cooking zone,
the cooking zone and the cooktop will switch off automatically
after 3 minutes.
Take particular care never to place cutlery or other metal
objects on the cooktop. When the appliance is switched
on either deliberately or by mistake, or when there is
residual heat present, there is the risk of metal items
heating up with the danger of burning.
Switch the cooking zones off after use.
