The induction principle

An induction coil is located under each
cooking zone. When a zone is switched
on this coil creates a magnetic field.
This magnetic field in turn creates (in-
duces) current in the base of the pan
on it (which must be magnetic) and this
heats up the base of the pan. The cook-
ing zone itself is heated up indirectly by
the heat given back off by the pan.
The following points should be noted
when cooking by induction:
– An induction cooking zone will only
react to pans with a magnetic base
(see section on "Suitable pans"). Un-
suitable pans will not heat up.
– Induction cooking zones adapt their
power output to the diameter of the
pan base:
smaller diameter = lower output
larger diameter = greater output
However, for induction to function
correctly a minimum pan base
diameter is required (see section on
"Suitable pans").
– Induction cooking zones do not work
with unsuitable pans or with no pan
on them.
If a pan is taken off the zone during
cooking, the magnetic field or cook-
ing zone is immediately switched off,
the cooking zone symbol goes out
and the symbol ß appears in the dis-
play:
As long as a suitable pan is placed
back on the cooking zone whilst the
symblol ß is lit up, the magnetic field
or cooking zone will switch itself
back on again automatically and con-
tinue to operate at the power setting
it was previously set to.
The cooking zone will switch off auto-
matically after 10 minutes and 0 will
appear in the display if a pan is not
placed on it during this period.
If the pan is put back on the zone any
later than this then you will have to
switch the zone back on again yourself.
As induction reacts to magnetic met-
al do not use the hob as a resting
place for anything.
