Touch control

The operating panel is fitted with electronic sensor buttons 

and display panels. The sensor buttons respond to finger 

contact.

You operate the device by touching the corresponding  

sensor key with your finger. Keep the finger pressed on 

the sensor key until you either hear an acoustic signal or 

the display changes accordingly. 

4.3  Functional principle

The induction coil is located underneath an induction  

cooking zone. If the cooking zone is switched on, this coil 

creates a magnetic field that acts directly on the base  

of the pot thus heating it up. The cooking zone is only 

indirectly heated up by the heat emitted by the pot.  

Cooking zones with induction only work if the cookware 

has a magnetisable base.

The induction automatically takes into account the size of 

the used cookware which means that only the area in the 

cooking zone covered by the base of the pot is heated up.

4.3.1  Power levels

The high power output of induction cooktops results in the 

very quick heating up of cookware. A slight adjustment is 

needed in comparison to conventional cooking systems 

when selecting the power level in order to avoid burning 

food.
