Operating the cooktop
46
Induction
How it works
An induction coil is located under each
cooking zone. When a zone is turned
on, this coil creates a magnetic field
that impacts directly on the base of the
pan and heats it up. The zone itself is
heated up indirectly by the heat given
off by the pan.
An induction cooking zone only works
when a ferromagnetic pan is placed on
it (see "Cookware"). The induction zone
automatically recognizes the size of the
pan.
In the cooking zone indicator, the
symbol will flash alternately with the
selected power setting:
– No cookware or unsuitable cookware
(items without a magnetizable
bottom) is being used.
– The bottom diameter of the cookware
being used is too small.
– The cookware is removed from a
cooking zone that is on.
If suitable cookware is placed on the
cooking zone within 3 minutes, the
goes out, and you can continue as
usual.
If no cookware or if unsuitable
cookware is used, the cooking zone will
automatically turn off after 3 minutes.
When the appliance is turned on
either inadvertently or by mistake, or
when there is residual heat present,
there is the risk of the metal items
heating up.
Danger of burns!
Do not use the cooktop as a storage
space. Turn the zones off after use
with the appropriate sensor buttons.
Noises
When you use an induction cooking
zone, the following noises may occur,
depending on the type and shape of the
cookware bottom:
On the higher power settings, it might
buzz. This will decrease or cease
altogether when the power setting is
reduced.
Cookware with bottoms made of
different materials (e.g. sandwich
bottoms) may produce a crackling
noise.
Whistling may occur if connected
cooking zones (see "Booster") are
simultaneously in use and cookware
with bottoms made of different
materials are on them.
The electronics may produce a clicking
sound, especially at lower power
settings.
You might hear a whirring sound when
the cooling fan turns on. It turns on to
protect the electronics when the
cooktop is being used intensively. The
fan may continue to run after the
appliance has been turned off.
