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 .
Cookware
Suitable cookware
Only cookware with a fully magnetisable base is suitable for
cooking on the induction hob.
The magnet adheres to every point on the entire base of
the cookware.

Cookware used on the induction cooking surface must be
made of metal, with magnetic properties and a sufficiently
large base.

X To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a magnet
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 appears on the 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.
Advice on energy-saving
X The diameter of the base of the pan must correspond
to the diameter of the cooking zone.
ENERGY
SAVING
X When buying a pan, check whether the diameter
indicated is that of the base or the top of the pan, as
the top is almost always larger than the base.
X When preparing dishes with long cooking times, you
can save time and energy by using a pressure cooker,
which also makes it possible to preserve the vitamins
in the food.
