14 Operation and Handing
This chapter provides you with important notices with regard to operating the device. Observe the following notices to avoid dangers and damages:
WARNING Warning
Do not leave the device unsupervised when it is in operation, so that you can intervene quickly in the event of dangers.
14.1 Functioning and Advantages of Induction cooktops
With an induction cooktop the heat is not transferred by a heating element via the cooking utensil to the food to be cooked, but rather the necessary heat is generated directly in the cooking pot with the aid of induction currents.
An induction coil underneath the ceramic glass hob generates an alternating electromagnetic field, which penetrates the ceramic glass hob and induces the heat-generating current in the base of the cookware.
Advantages of the Induction Hob
- Energy-saving cooking due to direct energy transfer to the pot.
- Enhanced safety since energy is only transferred when a pot is placed on the hob.
- Energy transfer between the induction cooking zone and the base of the pot with high degree of efficiency.
Rapid heating. - Low risk of burning, since the cooking surface is only heated by the base of the pot.
- Boiling over pot contents does not burn onto the hob.
Rapid, fine-tuned control of the input power.
14.2 Instructions on Cookware
The cooking pot used for the induction cooking surface must be made of metal, have magnetic characteristics and have a sufficient, flat bottom surface.
Here is how to decide if the pot is suitable:
Ensure that the pot bears an inscription stating its suitability for cooking with induction current, or perform the following magnet test:
Place a magnet (e.g. a magnet from a magnetic board) close to the base of your cooking pot. If it is strongly attracted then you can use the cooking pot on the induction cooktop.
The table below serves as a guide to help you choose the correct cooking utensils:
| Suitable Cookware | Unsuitable Cookware |
| Cookware with magnetic bottom (ferrous). | Pots made of copper, aluminium, heat-resistant glass and other non-metallic pots |
| Enamel-coated steel pots with thick bases | Pots made of stainless steel without a magnet iron core |
| Cast-iron pots with enamel-coated bases | Pots that do not sit flat on the hob |
| Pots made of stainless steel, multi-layered steel, stainless steel ferrite steel or aluminium with special base | Pots with a base diameter of less than 12 cm or more than 26 cm |
HINWEIS
Please note
- Using the induction-compatible pots of some manufacturers can lead to the occurrence of noises that are due to the design of these pots.
VORSICHT Attention
Please also adhere to the following instructions for using suitable cookware:
Only use pots with an induction-compatible base.
The maximum permissible weight of the pot plus its contents must not exceed 6kg
- Be careful when using hollow-walled simmer pots. Pots of this type can boil dry unnoticed. This leads to damage to the pot and hob.
14.3 Safety Instructions
WARNING Warning
Do not leave the appliance unattended during operation, so that you can intervene quickly in the event of danger.
Do not move the appliance during operation or with hot cookware on the hot plate.
Ensure that the cookware is properly centred on the hob. It must not be positioned on the control panel or on the frame.
In order to prevent overheating do not place any aluminium foil or metal panels on the appliance surface.
- Do not touch the hot surface of the ceramic hob. Although the induction cooktop itself does not produce any heat during the cooking process, the temperature of the cookware does heat up the hob.
- Keep the hob and the underside of the pot clean and dry at all times. If liquid gets between the base of the pot and the hob, this liquid can vaporise and the resulting pressure can cause the pot to jump into the air, with a resulting risk of injury.
