The induction principle
An induction coil is located under each
cooking zone. When a cooking zone is
switched on, this coil creates a mag-
netic field which impacts directly on the
base of the pan and heats it up. The
cooking zone itself is heated up indir-
ectly 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.
On the control scale of the cooking
zone, power levels 1 to 9 flash:
– if the zone has been 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 cook-
ing zone within 3 minutes you can con-
tinue 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 hob (e.g. cutlery)
heating up.
Danger of burning.
Do not use the hob as a resting
place for items. Switch the cooking
zones off after use with the appropri-
ate sensor.
