Using The Induction Hob - BORETTI CRG916 User Manual

6. Using the induction hob

The hob is equipped with one radiant generator per cooking zone. Each
generator located below the glass ceramic cooking surface generates an
electromagnetic field that induces a thermal current in the base of the pan.
In induction cooking, heat is not transmitted from a heat source, but created
by inductive currents directly inside the pan.

Advantages of induction cooking:
* Energy saving thanks to the direct transmission of energy to the pan,
compared with traditional electric or gas cooking.
* Safer thanks to the transmission of energy solely to the pan rested
on the hob.
* Highly efficient energy transmission from the induction cooking zone
to the base of the pan.
* Rapid heating speed.
* Reduced risk of burns, since the cooking surface is heated solely at
the base of the pan.
* Spilt food does not stick to the surface of the hob.
6.1 General warnings
1. Remove all labels and self-adhesives from the ceramic glass.
2. Before connecting the appliance to the mains, ensure it has been standing
at oom temperature for at least 2 hours.
3. People with a pacemaker or other similar devices must ensure that the
operation of their devices is not jeopardised by the induction field, the
frequency range of which is between 20 and 50 kHz.
4. Do not wear metal objects or necklaces in direct contact with the body.
When entering the radiating field of the induction hob, they may overheat
with an ensuing risk of scalding. Non-magnetisable metals (e.g. gold or
silver) do not carry this risk.
5. Objects with a magnetic strip (credit cards, swipe cards, floppy discs, etc.)
must not be left near the appliance while it is on.
6. Do not heat canned food or other sealed containers. The pressure that
builds up inside the container during cooking may cause it to explode.
7. Do not place metal objects such as cookware or cutlery on the surface
of the hob as they can overheat, with an ensuing risk of scalding.
