Induction
Functionality of Cooking Zones
An induction coil is beneath the ceramic glass cooking surface.
This generates magnetic fields, which act directly on the base of the
pots and pans compare as with other heating methods, first heating
the ceramic glass. This means that
the base of the pan is
immediately heated up, which saves time and energy.
Since the heat required for cooking is generated directly in the base
of the pan, the cooking zone itself hardly warms up. It only receives
the reflected heat from the pan base.
Note:
If there is no pot or pan on the cooking zone
there is no energy transfer (heating up) and
therefore prevents the cooking zones being
switched on accidentally.
Special Notes on Induction Cooking Zones
• Scientific studies have shown that patients who have implanted
pacemakers are not normally affected or put at risk by our
induction cooking zones.
The distance between the body and the cooking zone should,
however, never be less than 30 cm from the induction burners.
• Electromagnetic fields can affect electronic circuits and interfere
with portable transistor radios.
• Do not put magnetically rechargeable objects (e.g., credit cards,
cassettes) on the ceramic glass surface while one or more
induction cooking zones are in use!
• Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not
be placed on the hob surface since they can get hot.
Some cookware can produce noises when used on induction
cooking zones. This is not a fault in the HOB and its function
will not be impaired in any way as a result.
