appliance automatically switches down to a lower power
level.
If this protective device is defective, there appear in the
display error messages F1 and F2 (for the front zones) or
F3 and F4 (for the rear and the double cooking zones).

GB 18
A magnetic field is generated in the appliance. By placing a
pan with an iron base on a cooking zone, a current is induced
in the pan base. This induced current generates heat in the
base of the pan.
The coil (1) in the hob
(2) generates a
magnetic field (3). By
placing a pan with an
iron base (4) on the
coil, a current is
induced in the base
of the pan.
easy
The electronic controls are accurate and easy to set. On the
lowest setting, you can melt chocolate directly in the pan, for
example, or cook ingredients that you would normally heat in
a bain-marie.
fast
Thanks to the induction hob's high power levels, bringing
food to the boil is very quick.
Cooking food through takes just as long as for other types of
cooking.
