YOUR INDUCTION HOB
Operation induction
A magnetic field is generated in the appliance. By placing a pan with an
iron base on a cooking zone, a current is induced in the pan base. This
induced current generates heat in the base of the pan.
Easy
The electronic controls are accurate and easy to set. On the lowest
setting, you can melt chocolate directly in the pan, for example, or cook
ingredients that you would normally heat in a bain-marie.
Fast
Thanks to the induction hob's high power levels, bringing food to the
boil is very quick. Cooking food through takes just as long as for other
types of cooking.
Clean
The hob is easy to clean. Because the cooking zones do not get any
hotter than the pans themselves, food spills cannot burn on.
Safe
The heat is generated in the pan itself. The glass top does not get any
warmer than the pan. This means that the cooking zone is considerable
cooler compared to that from a Ceramic hob or a gasburner. Once a pan
has been taken away, the cooking zone cools down quickly.
general
The coil (1) in the hob
(2) generates a
magnetic field (3). By
placing a pan with an
iron base (4) on the
coil, a current is
induced in the base of
the pan.

Cooking on an induction hob has a number of advantages. It is easy,
because the hob reacts quickly and can also be set to a very low power
level. Because, moreover, it can also be set to a high power level, it can
bring things to the boil very quickly.
The ample space between the cooking zones makes cooking comfortable.
The cooking zones can be controlled accurately using soft touch controls.
The position indications are intended as a reference; they enable you to
select a particular setting quickly.
Cooking on an induction hob is different from cooking on a traditional
appliance. Induction cooking makes use of a magnetic field to generate
heat. This means that you cannot use just any pan on it. The "pans"
section gives more information about this.
For optimum safety the induction hob is equipped with several
temperature protections and a residual heat indicator, which shows which
cooking zones are still hot. This manual describes how you can make the
best possible use of the induction hob. In addition to information about
operation, you will also find background information that can assist you
in using this product. You will also find cooking tables and maintenance
tips.
The safety instructions that are important during installation are
included in the chapter 'installation'.
Keep this manual carefully. It serves as reference material for the
service engineers. So stick the data card which is affixed to the glass
plate on to the back of this manual in the box provided.
When you call the service department the staff will ask for the details on
the data card. If you don't have these details, it is more difficult for us to
provide accurate service.
Enjoy your cooking!
