USING THE HOB - INDUCTION

ABOUT THE INDUCTION HOB

The induction hob provides the most 

energy efficient hob technology available. 

The induction system provides superior 

heat up and cool down times for pans - 

you get fast, precise, repeatable power 

control.
As induction only heats up the pan, there 

is no lost heat from the cooking process, 

which in turn, limits the heat generated in 

the kitchen.

Auto Power Tuning

Induction hobs have a unique power tun-

ing systems that automatically tunes the 

power to the size of the pan base, this 

ensures the energy is not wasted.

Cookware for induction hobs

must be made of metal with magnetic 

properties and the base must have the 

correct diameter.
