Function

2.1

Principle of Induction

Under each burner is an induction coil. When the burner is switched on, the
induction coil creates a high-frequency magnetic field (approximately 20 to 50
kHz) which induces high eddy currents in the base of the pot on the cooktop. The
base is heated rapidly by this effect and the heat produced is transferred virtually
without loss to the food being cooked. The burner itself is not heated by the
induction coil, but is heated indirectly by the heat developed in the pot base.
2.2

Suitable Pots

Induction cooktops can only function with pots with a magnetic base. Unsuitable
pots will not heat up.
The following pot types are suitable:
 Stainless steel with a magnetic base.
 Enameled steel.
Cast-iron.

The following pot types are not suitable:
Stainless steel with a non-magnetic base.

 Aluminum, copper.
 Glass, ceramic, earthenware.

Pot Sensors

Each burner has a pot sensor. This prevents the operation of the induction coil
