How induction hobs function

Induction hobs function considerably differently to
conventional hobs or solid plates. The induction coil
under the glass ceramic creates a magnetic field
that alternates quickly and which directly heats the
magnetisable base of the cookware. The glass ceramic
is only heated by the hot cookware. If the cookware is
removed from the cooking zone, the power supply is
interrupted immediately.

Pan detection

Every cooking zone is equipped with pan detection.
The pan detection recognises cookware with a magnetisable
base that is suitable for use with induction hobs.
If the cookware is removed during operation or unsuitable
cookware is used, the display near the bargraph flashes

To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a magnet

close to the bottom: if it is attracted, the pan is
suitable for induction cooking. If you do not have a
magnet, you can put a small amount of water in the
pan, place it on a cooking zone and start the cooking
zone. If the symbol

Note: Use only cookware with a perfectly flat bottom and
suitable for induction cooking zones. Using cookware
with an irregular bottom could jeopardise the efficiency
of the heating system and prevent cookware from being
detected on the cooking zone.
Noise during cooking
Cookware can make noise during cooking. This does
not indicate any malfunction, nor does it affect the
functioning of the appliance in any way.
Noise depends on the cookware used. If the noise
causes considerable disturbance, it can help to change
the cookware.

Advice on energy-saving

The diameter of the base of the pan must correspond
X X
to the diameter of the cooking zone.
ENERGY
SAVING
When buying a pan, check whether the diameter
X X
indicated is that of the base or the top of the pan,
as the top is almost always larger than the base.
When preparing dishes with long cooking times, you
X X
can save time and energy by using a pressure cooker,
which also makes it possible to preserve the vitamins
in the food.
Make sure that the pressure cooker contains enough
X X
liquid as, if there is not enough and it overheats, this
may cause damage to both the pressure cooker and
the cooking zone.
If possible, always cover pans with a suitable lid.

Choose a pan suitable for the quantity of food to be

cooked. A large, half-empty pan leads to a waste of
energy.
