5. Installation and operation

5.1 Functionality of induction cookers

With induction cooker, an electric voltage is applied on a conductor spool beneath the
glass. This creates magnetic fields, which directly heat up the bottom of the cookware
through a physical effect. This means saving time and energy, because contrary to
common hotplates, the cookware is heated up, not the heating element and the glass.
Due to the technical characteristics described above, another advantage is the very short
start-up cooking time.
In addition, the heat supply promptly adapts to changed settings and can be controlled in
small steps. The induction cooker reacts to changed settings just as fast as a gas stove,
as the energy reaches the pot immediately without having to heat up other materials first.
The induction technology combines this fast reaction with the basic advantage of
electricity, meaning being able to exactly adjust the heat supply.
Additional advantages of an induction cooker:
•
As the cooking zone is only heated up indirectly via the bottom of the cookware, over
spilling food cannot stick and burn and there is hardly any danger of burns for the user.
The glass cooking zone is only heated up by the hot cookware.
•
If the device is turned on and no dish for cooking is present or is removed, a repeating
audio signal will sound and the device will turn itself off after approx. 30 seconds.
•
The device will detect if the appropriate cookware is placed on the heating plate.
If the cookware is not appropriate for induction hotplates, energy will not flow.
The device will turn off after approx. 30 seconds.
•
When operating the cooking zone with empty cookware, a temperature sensor turns it
off automatically.

5.2 Safety instructions

WARNING! Electrical hazard!
Cable must not touch any hot parts.
•
See that the cable does not touch any heat sources or sharp edges. Do not let the
cable dangle over the counter edge.
WARNING! Danger of burn!
During operation some parts of the device become very hot. Do not touch the hot
surface of the glass field. Please note: the induction cooker does not heat up itself
during cooking, but the temperature of the cookware heats up the cooking zone.
