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 mag-
netic 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.
Induction hobs can only be used with cookware with a complete/full
magnetic base.

Flexible cooking
For flexible cooking, there are no marked cooking zones.
Pots of different sizes can be placed on every zone. However, for pan detec-
tion, must be covered.
If both circles are covered by a large pot, both heating areas can be
operated together with the bridge function.
For even frying, the pan must be centred on .
