The induction hob
This is how an induction cooking zone functions
An induction coil underneath the glass ceramic hob generates an
electromagnetic alternating field which penetrates the glass ceramic and
induces the heat-generating current in the pot base.
With an induction hob the heat is no longer transferred from a heating element
through the cooking pot into the food being cooked but the necessary heat is
generated directly in the container by means of induction currents.
Advantages of the induction hob
– Energy-saving cooking through the direct transfer of energy to the pot
(suitable pots/pans made of magnetisable material are required).
– Increased safety as the energy is only transferred when a pot is placed on
the hob.
– Energy transfer between induction cooking zone and pot base with high
efficiency.
– High heat-up speed.
– The risk of burns is low as the cooking area is only heated through the pan
base, any food which boils over does not stick to the surface.
– Rapid, sensitive control of the energy supply.
The right wok
The functioning of the induction cooking zone is only then satisfying, if the
wok is optimally adjusted to the glass ceramic surface:
The bottom of the wok must be bulged to fit to the cooking surface of the hob
and must be suitable for induction wok cooking zones. Only these wok pans
offer an even heat distribution in the pan. We recommend the use of the
Küppersbusch wok pan acc. No. 761 (approx. 5 l) or acc. No. 760 (approx.
9 l).
[
With unsuitable cookware the cooking surface will not work or will only
work insufficiently. In the worst case this will endanger you.
The pot recognition
The induction cooking zone checks in brief intervals if a wok has been placed
on the cooking zone.
If no wok has been placed on the
operating cooking surface
will appear
in the display. Then the hob switches off
automatically after 10 minutes.
The pot recognition is for your safety and saves energy as it immediately
deactivates the hob if no wok is placed.
[
Switch off the cooking zone with the corresponding minus key after using.
Do not use only the pan recognition function An empty wok (or another
magnetizable pot) that has been placed on the cooking zone can activate
the cooking zone again and heat up the empty wok.
Use of the wok
[
Please note the safety instructions!
[
Always ensure that the wok is not empty when it is placed in an operating
hob. It will overheat very quickly due to the power if the hob.
The appliance is in operation (stand-by mode)
– Touch the sensor key ON/OFF (stand-by
switch).
The appliance is in operation (stand-by
mode).
In the setting display the
setting “0“
appears.
The stand-by mode automatically switches itself off,
■
if you do not press another sensor key during the following 10 seconds.
■
if you do not press another key after switching off the hob. The switching-
off time for this is 10 seconds.
■
if one or more keys are pressed for more than 10 seconds.
Switching on the hob
For the induction hob you have nine cooking settings available.
– Switch the hob on by setting the desired cooking level with the plus or
minus key.
The number of the cooking level will be indicated in the display.
If you touch the plus key, the cooking zone
starts at the setting “1” The value of the cooking
setting can be changed.
If you touch the minus key, the cooking
zone starts at the maximum setting (setting
power mode “9”).
The value of the cooking setting can be
changed.
