USING THE INDUCTION HOB
Induction cooking with the IT31W
Induction cooking is fast
•
To start with you will be surprised by the speed of induction
cooking. Wokking on a high setting is especially fast. It is best not
to leave the pan unattended.
The power will be adjusted
• With induction cooking, only that part of the cooking zone which is
in contact with the wok, is used. It is important to use the wok that
is included, as this wok is fully in contact with the cooking zone.
Attention
•
Grains of sand may cause scratches which cannot be removed.
Only put pans with a clean base on the cooking surface and always
pick pans up to move them.
•
Carefully place the pan on the cooking zone. When handling the
pan carelessly, the handle may hit and damage the glass.
•
Do not shake the pan while on the cooking zone. This may cause
scratches on the glass, or the glass can get damaged by the
handle.
• Do not use the hob as a worktop.
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 food to the
boil is very quick. Cooking food through takes just as long as for other
types of cooking. The wokking goes also very fast.
The coil (1) in the hob (2)
generates a magnetic field
(3). By placing a pan with
an iron base (4) on the coil,
a current is induced in the
base of the pan.
