How induction hobs function
Induction hobs work very differently from conventional hobs or hot plates. The induction
coils under the glass ceramic plate produce a rapidly changing magnetic field which dir-
ectly heats up the magnetic base of the cookware.
The glass ceramic plate is only warmed by the hot cookware. Removing the cookware
from the cooking zone immediately interrupts the supply of energy.
Induction hobs are:
▪
quick reacting
▪
energy-efficient
▪
finely adjustable
▪
safe
▪
powerful
Cookware with a full-surface or full magnetic base is required for cooking with an
induction hob.

Pan detection
Each cooking zone is equipped with pan detection. This detects suitable, induction-com-
patible cookware with a magnetic base.
▪
If the cookware is removed during operation or if unsuitable cookware is used,
– the power level selected flashes alternately with .
▪
If no suitable cookware is placed on the cooking zone before the pan detection time
(10 minutes) elapses,
– the cooking zone switches off.
– the display changes from to .
– the appliance switches off after 10 seconds if no other cooking zone is in use.

Cookware
Suitable cookware
Only cookware with a full magnetic base is suitable for use with the induction hob.
This can be checked in the following ways:
▪
A magnet sticks anywhere on the base of the cookware.
▪
On the hob, the power level set illuminates and does not alternate with the power
level.
Do not heat any unsuitable cookware using aids such as metal rings and the like.
This can damage the hob.
