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.
