Operation
Before using the appliance for the first time
• Thoroughly clean your induction hob first. The induction hob
should be treated with the same care as a glass surface.
• Switch on the ventilation in the room or open a window, as the
appliance could emit an unpleasant smell during first use.
• Operate the appliance while observing all safety guidelines.
Induction cooking zone operation principle
An electric oscillator powers a coil placed inside the appliance. This
coil produces magnetic fields which induce eddy currents in the
cookware. The eddy currents induced by the magnetic field cause the
cookware to heat up.
This requires the use of pots and pans whose base is ferromagnetic,
in other words susceptible to magnetic fields.
Overall, induction technology is characterized by two advantages:
• Heat is only emitted by the cookware and energy use is optimised.
• There is no thermal inertia, since the cooking starts immediately
when the pot is placed on the hob and ends once it is removed.
This means the hob responds instantly to changes in power.
Certain sounds can be heard during normal use of the induction hob,
which do not affect its correct operation.
• Low-frequency humming. This noise arises when the cookware
is empty and stops when water is poured or food is placed in the
cookware.
