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 mag-
netic 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.
Induction hobs can only be used with cookware with a complete/full
magnetic base.

Pan detection
Each cooking zone is equipped with pan detection. This detects suitable in-
duction compatible cookware with a magnetic base.
▪
If the cookware is removed during operation or if unsuitable cookware is
used,
– the power level selected flashes alternately with .
▪
If no suitable cookware is placed on the cooking zone before the pan detec-
tion time (10 minutes) elapses,
– the cooking zone switches off.
– the display changes from to .
– the appliance switches off after 10 seconds if no other cooking zone is in
use.
4.5
Flexible cooking
In flexible cooking, there are no marked cooking zones.
Pans with different diameters can be placed on any cooking zone. must,
however, be covered for pan detection.
For even frying, the pan must be centred on . The diameter of the
base of the pan should not be greater than the diameter of the cook-
ing zone.
