  • Page 17: Induction

    Induction How the appliance works An induction coil is located under each cooking zone. When a cooking zone is switched on, this coil creates a magnetic field which impacts directly on the base of the pan and heats it up. The cooking zone itself is heated up indirectly by the heat given off by the pan.
  • Page 18: Noises

    Induction Noises When using an induction cooking zone, the following noises can occur in the pan, depending on what it is made of and how it has been constructed: – On the higher power settings, it might buzz. This will decrease or cease altogether when the power setting is reduced.
  • Page 19: Pans

    Induction Pans Suitable pans include: – stainless steel pans with a magnetic base – enamelled steel pans – cast iron pans Unsuitable pans: – stainless steel pans without a magnetic base – aluminium and copper pans – glass, ceramic or earthenware pots and pans To test whether a pot or pan is suitable for use on an induction cooktop, hold a magnet to the base of the pan.
