How induction hobs function
Induction hobs work very differently from conventional hobs or hot plates. The
induction coils under the glass ceramic plate produce a rapidly changing
magnetic field which directly heats up the magnetic base of the cookware.
The glass ceramic plate is only warmed by the hot cookware.
Removing the cookware from the cooking zone immediately interrupts the
supply of energy.
Induction hobs are:
– quick reacting
– finely adjustable
– powerful
– energy-efficient
– safe.

Surface cooking
(only applies to GK46IMXDC und GK46IMXDF)
In surface cooking, there are no marked cooking zones.
The pans can be placed freely on the hob, the
symbol must, however, be
covered for pan detection.
Induction hobs can only be used with cookware with a magnetic base.
If a large pan covers both circles
, both heating zones can be
switched on together with the bridging function.
