This chapter provides you with important notices with regard to
operating the device. Observe the following notices to avoid
dangers and damages:
Warning
► Do not leave the device unsupervised when it is in operation,
so that you can intervene quickly in the event of dangers.
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.
