How does induction work
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 liquid 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 be burnt on the
cooking zone.
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 considerably
cooler compared to that from a ceramic hob or a gasburner. Once a
pan has been taken away, the cooking zone cools down quickly.
Power management
This induction hob is equipped with a smart power management system. This system ensures a
maximum permissible power cannot be exceeded for safety reasons.
•
The smart power management system will arrange the power distribution across the zones
automatically. This means the hob could automatically decrease the power on one zone when
the power level of another zone is increased. The level of activity of the power management
system depends on the available power per electrical phase, the setting of the current limiter
and the connected load.
•
The power level of one zone can affect the power of another zone as the maximum available
power is distributed among the zones. If the combined zones reach the maximum available
power when a new power level is set, the power levels of one or more zones are automatically
reduced within the power limit. This is indicated by the flashing of the relevant control element.
•
In case a zone is used for Celsius Cooking, this zone always gets highest priority.
•
Intervention by the smart power management system is more likely when the current limiter is
set to a lower level.
•
The current limiter setting must be set according to your connection and circuit breakers by a
registered and qualified installer (see ‘Current limiter’ for the details on currents and electrical
installation).
