How induction hobs function
Induction hobs function considerably differently to
conventional hobs or solid plates. The induction coil
under the glass ceramic creates a magnetic field
that alternates quickly and which directly heats the
magnetisable base of the cookware. The glass ceramic
is only heated by the hot cookware. If the cookware is
removed from the cooking zone, the power supply is
interrupted immediately.
Pan detection
Every cooking zone is equipped with pan detection.
The pan detection recognises cookware with a
magnetisable base that is suitable for use with induction
hobs.
If the cookware is removed during operation or
unsuitable cookware is used, the display near the
bargraph flashes with

To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a magnet
close to the bottom: if it is attracted, the pan is

the pan, place it on a cooking zone and start the
cooking zone. If the symbol
display,
it means the pan is not suitable.
Note: Use only cookware with a perfectly flat bottom
and suitable for induction cooking zones. Using
cookware with an irregular bottom could jeopardise the
efficiency of the heating system and prevent cookware
from being detected on the cooking zone.
Noise during cooking
Cookware can make noise during cooking. This does
not indicate any malfunction, nor does it affect the
functioning of the appliance in any way.
Noise depends on the cookware used. If the noise
causes considerable disturbance, it can help to
change the cookware.

indicated is that of the base or the top of the pan,
as the top is almost always larger than the base.

When preparing dishes with long cooking times,
you can save time and energy by using a pressure
cooker, which also makes it possible to preserve
the vitamins in the food.

Make sure that the pressure cooker contains
enough liquid as, if there is not enough and it
overheats, this may cause damage to both the
pressure cooker and the cooking zone.
