Induction

How it works

An induction coil is located under each
induction cooking zone. The coil
creates a magnetic field that reacts
directly with 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.
An induction cooking zone only works
when a pan with a magnetic base is
placed on it (see "Pans"). Induction
automatically recognises the size of the
pan.

Risk of burning due to hot items.
When the appliance is switched on
either deliberately or by mistake, or
when there is residual heat present,
there is the risk of metal items placed
on the hob heating up.
Do not use the appliance as a resting
place for anything.
After use, switch the hob off with
the  sensor control.

Pans

Suitable pans
- stainless steel pans with a magnetic
base
- enamelled steel pans
- cast iron pans
Please be aware that the properties of
the pan base can affect the evenness
with which the food heats up (e.g. when
making pancakes). The base of the pan
must be able to distribute the heat
evenly. A sandwich base made of
stainless steel is particularly suitable.
Unsuitable pans.
- stainless steel pans without a
magnetic base
- aluminium or copper pans
- glass, ceramic or earthenware pots
and pans
Testing pans
To test whether a pan is induction-
compatible, hold a magnet to the base
of the pan. If the magnet sticks, the pan
is generally suitable.
