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 directly 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
– finely adjustable
– powerful
– energy-efficient
– safe.

Pan detection
Each cooking zone is equipped with pan detection.
This detects suitable induction compatible cookware with a magnetic base.
• If the cookware is removed during operation or if the cookware used is
unsuitable,
–
illuminates in the power level display.
• 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
– If no other cooking zone is in use, the appliance switches off automati-
cally after 10 seconds.
Induction hobs can only be used with cookware with a magnetic base.
