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 with
If there is no cookware placed on the cooking zone
during the pan detection time of 10 seconds:
– The cooking zone switches off automatically after
10 seconds.
– The display of each cooking zone shows

Unsuitable cookware:

9 Copper, stainless steel, aluminium, fireproof glass,

To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a magnet
X X
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
display, it means the pan is not suitable.
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.
