IR sensor eases your cooking

Place the cookware in the centre of the cooking zone.

The IR sensor must be covered to operate properly.

What is the IR sensor?

The IR sensor prevents overheating and restores the temperature to the original level when the temperature drops by adding ingredients.

Pan-frying Mode Cooks delicious food without burning due to overheating

Deep-frying Mode Automatically maintained temperature makes food crispy and tasty.

Flameless, comfortable cooking with less rise in room temperature

Clean

Flat top plate for easy care

Efficient

Highly efficient and energy-saving heating

IH Cooking Mechanism

The magnetic line of force produced in the magnetic coil, passes through the metallic cookware, induces an eddy current, and then the cookware generates heat with its electrical resistance.
