FEATURES
Whilst standard hotplates heat up themselves, in an induction hotplate the heat is created in the base of the
cookware. The hob itself does not heat up; it becomes hot when food is heated upon it in a pan and the heat from
the pan reflects onto the hob. (Reverse heating). This is caused by an energy field that generates heat only in
magnetically conductive materials, for example, pans made of iron. In other materials, such as porcelain, glass or
ceramic, the energy field cannot generate any heating effect.

SUITABLE COOKWARE

Only use cookware that is suitable for induction hobs:
Suitable cookware consists of pots and pans with a base made of steel or cast iron. You can identify these either
by means of the markings on the pan or by ascertaining whether a magnet clings to the base of the pan.
Unsuitable cookware is made from any kind of metal that is non-magnetic, such as aluminum, copper and
stainless steel, as well as non-metallic vessels made of porcelain, glass, ceramic, plastic, etc.
Thin pan bases are better suited to induction cooking than thick sandwich bases. The very short response times
to setting modifications (short preheating period, rapid and controllable browning) are not possible when pans
with thick bases are used.
Only use cookware that is suitable for the size of the hob. This the only way to ensure that the induction hob
functions perfectly. The base of the pan may not be uneven, rather, it must sit flat.
The diameter may not be less than 10 cm to ensure that the energy field has an effect. Do not use pans with a
diameter in excess of 26 cm.
