4. GET TO KNOW YOUR APPLIANCE
The hob is equipped with an induction generator for each cooking zone. Each generator located under
the glass ceramic cooking surface creates an electromagnetic field which induces a thermal current in
the base of the saucepan. This means the heat is no longer transmitted from the hob to the pan but
created directly inside the pan by the inductive current.
Advantages of an induction hob
- Energy saving thanks to the direct transmission of energy to the pan (suitable magnetisable
cookware is required) compared with traditional electric cooking.
- Improved safety as the energy is only transmitted to the container placed on the hob.
- High level of energy transmitted from the induction cooking zone to the base of the saucepan.
- Rapid
heating.
- Reduced danger of burns as the cooking surface is only heated under the base of the saucepan;
foods which overflow do not stick.
