How induction works
Under each induction cooking zone,
there is an induction coil. When the
cooking zone is switched on, the coil
generates a magnetic field that acts
directly on the bottom of the pot/pan to
heat it up. The cooking zone heats up
indirectly, only from the heat given off
by the pot/pan.
Cooking zones with induction only work
with cookware that has a magnetizable
bottom (see "Cookware").
The induction process automatically
takes into account the size of the
cookware being used. In other words, it
only works in the area that is covered
by the cookware bottom.
The cooking zone will not work
– if there is no cookware, or unsuitable
cookware (items without a
magnetizable bottom) being used
– if the bottom diameter of the
cookware being used is too small
–
if the cookware is removed from a
cooking zone that is on.
In such cases, the symbol ß will flash
alternatingly in the matching cooking
zone display with 0 or the selected
power setting.
If suitable cookware is placed on the
induction zone within 3 minutes, the
ßgoes out, and you can continue as
usual.
If no cookware or unsuitable cookware
is used, the cooking zone will
automatically switch off after 3 minutes.
Do NOT use the appliance as a
resting place for cutlery or other
items made of metal. If the
appliance is on, or accidentally
switched on or there is residual heat,
there is the danger that these items
will heat up (danger of burns!).
Always switch off the cooking zones
after use.
