Tab. 4.1 Meaning of display
Knob operation
All the cooking zones are controlled using a control knob.
By twisting the control knob and pressing the touch
surface, the power levels and functions for the relevant
cooking zone are controlled (see Operation section).
4.3 Functional principle
An induction coil is located underneath an induction
cooking zone. If the cooking zone is switched on, this
coil creates a magnetic field that acts directly on the
base of the pot thus heating it up. The cooking zone is
only indirectly heated up by the heat emitted by the pot.
Cooking zones with induction only work if the cookware
has a magnetisable base.
The induction automatically takes into account the size of
the used cookware which means that only the area in the
cooking zone covered by the base of the pot is heated up.

4.3.1 Power levels
The high power output of induction cooktops results
in the very quick heating up of cookware. A slight
adjustment is needed in comparison to conventional
cooking systems when selecting the power level in order
to avoid burning food.
