Function of induction cooktops
Induction cooktops are powerful, economical and safe. Their heat output can be
finely adjusted and they respond quickly to new settings.
The method of heating used in induction cooktops differs significantly from
conventional cooktops and hobs. The induction coil located below the glass-
ceramic plate produces an oscillating magnetic field which induces an electric
current in the magnetised base of the pot or pan.
To work on induction cooktops, the pans and pots must have magnetisable
bases.
The glass-ceramic plate remains relatively cool, as it is only heated by the hot pot
or pan.
The moment the pot or pan is removed from the cooking zone, the cooking
energy supply is interrupted.
Cooking zone
The diameter of the cooking zone must correspond as closely as possible
to the diameter of the magnetisable base of the pot or pan. This ensures
optimum energy transfer and heat distribution in the pot or pan.
Residual heat indicator
When the cooking zone is switched off, this indicator remains on as long as there
is a risk of injury from burns H H H H .
