Function and the Way the Induction Cooking Zone Works

A copper wire induction coil is beneath the ceramic glass cooking sur-
face. This generates electromagnetic fields, which act directly on the
base of the pots and pans and not, as with other heating up methods,
first heating the ceramic glass. This means that the base of the pan is
immediately heated up, which saves time and energy.
Since the heat required for cooking is generated directly in the base of
the pan the cooking zone itself hardly warms up. It only receives the re-
flected heat from the pan base.
Note:
If there is no pot or pan on the cooking zone there is no energy transfer
(heating up) and therefore gives protection against the cooking zones
being switched on accidentally.

A cooling fan is an integral part of this hob and comes on automatical-
ly depending on the temperature of the induction cooking zone. The
cooling fan works in two speed levels depending on usage. The cooling
fan will continue to run for a short period after the cooking zone has
been switched off.

The Digital Displays

Digits 1 to 9 and four different letters can appear in the display.
• The digits show the cooking stage set:
1= Lowest capacity
9 = Highest capacity
• The following letters and functions are displayed for all cooking
zones:
1
h = Residual Heat Display
Danger! Cooking zone still hot; it extinguishes when the cooking zone
has cooled down. This display appears only if the cooking zone is
switched off.
a = Automatic heating-up (possible for all cooking zones)
is lit, if the cooking zone is set to automatic heating-up; (is lit until the
automatic feature switches over to the set continued cooking stage).
_ = Lights up when the automatic switch-off function has been acti-
vated (also see "What to do if ...?").
