Mode of operation and benefi ts of induction hotplates
With an induction hotplate, electric voltage is applied to a conductor coil under the glass ceramic
plate. This produces an electromagnetic fi eld, which heats up the base of induction cookware
(see chapter "Induction cookware"). This has the following advantages:
•
It saves you time and energy and quickly responds to changes in heat input (similar to a gas
stove). Unlike a conventional electrical stove, the heating element and the ceramic glass plate
do not have to heat up fi rst.
•
As the cooking area is only heated up indirectly via the base of the cookware, this prevents
foods that boil over from burning onto the surface. The glass ceramic plate is only heated
by the hot cookware.
•
When the cookware is removed from the cooking area, the device immediately cuts the
energy supply.
Induction cookware
Cookware with a fl at base made of steel, cast iron, enamelled steel and stainless steel with a base
