Induction

The induction principle
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”). The induction cooking
zone automatically recognises the size
of the pan.
The

symbol flashes alternately with
the power setting selected in one of the
cooking zones
– 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 a suitable pan is placed on the
cooking zone within 3 minutes,

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
will switch off automatically after 3
minutes.

When the appliance is switched
on either deliberately or by mistake,
or when there is residual heat
present, there is the risk of any metal
items placed on the cooktop (e.g.
cutlery) heating up.
Danger of burning!
Do not use the cooktop as a resting
place for items. Switch the cooking
zones off after use with the
appropriate sensor and do not rely
on the pan detector.
