Principle of induction

An induction coil is located under each hotplate. When it is turned on, it creates a variable electromagnetic
fi eld, which produces induction current in the ferromagnetic bottom part of the pot. The result is that the
bottom of the pot located on the hotplate is heated. For proper operation, it is necessary that the cookware is
ferromagnetic (you can verify this using a small magnet), ideally cast iron, steel, enamelled, stainless steel with
a ferromagnetic base.
Conversely, unsuitable cookware materials are copper, pure stainless steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramics,
stone, etc.
The hotplate on the induction cooktop automatically adjusts to the size of the cookware. However, this will not
work for cookware with a diameter that is too small. The diameter of the cookware depends on the diameter
of the hotplate. If the cookware is not detected by the hotplate, U will appear on the display.

Suitable cookware

Do not use cookware that has a coarse base because this base could scratch the glass ceramic surface. Suitable
cookware should have a thick fl at base. Before using and placing the cookware on the cooktop, check that the
base is clean and dry.
Place the cookware on the hotplate before turning it on.
Always use a lid on the cookware. The cookware base should not be smaller or larger than the diameter of
the hotplate. To prevent wasting energy, the cookware should be at least as large as the hotplate - see picture
below.
