OPERATION

Before using the appliance for the first time
● thoroughly clean your induction hob first. The induction hob should be treated with the
same care as a glass surface.
● switch on the ventilation in the room or open a window, as the appliance could emit an
unpleasant smell during first use.
● operate the appliance while observing all safety guidelines.
Induction cooking zone operation principle
This requires the use of pots and pans whose base is ferromagnetic, in other words suscep-
tible to magnetic fields.
Overall, induction technology is characterized by two advantages:
the heat is only emitted by the cookware and its use is maximised,
●
there is no thermal inertia, since the cooking starts immediately when the pot is placed on
●
the hob and ends once it is removed.
Certain sounds can be heard during normal use of the induction hob, which do not affect its
correct operation.
Low-frequency humming. This noise arises when the cookware is empty and stops when
●
water is poured or food is placed in the cookware.
High-frequency whizz. This noise arises in cookware made of multiple layers of different
●
materials at maximum heat setting. The noise intensifies when using two or more cooking
zones at maximum heat setting. The noise will stop or reduce when heat setting is reduced.
Creaking noise. This noise arises in cookware made of multiple layers of different materi-
●
als. The noise intensity depends on how the food is cooked.
Buzzing. Buzzing can be heard when electronics cooling fan operates.
●
The noises that can be heard during the normal appliance operation are the result of the cooling
fan operation, cooking method, cookware dimensions, cookware material and the heat setting.
These noises are normal and do not indicate a fault.
Electric oscillator powers a coil placed inside the appliance.
This coil produces a magnetic field, which induces eddy cur-
rents in the cookware.
These eddy currents induced by the magnetic field cause the
cookware to heat up.
