Hotplate function
principle
Hob surface is completely flat and smooth, without edges to accumulate dirt.
• The hob is fitted with high power induction hotplates. Heat is generated directly
at the bottom of the dish, where it is most needed, without any losses through
the ceramic glass surface.
This way the required extent of energy is considerably smaller compared to
traditional heaters, which operate on radiation principle.
• Glass ceramic hotplate is not heated directly, but only by return heat
transmitted by the dish. This heat figures as “remaining heat” after the hotplate is
turned off. The induction hotplate generates heat from the induction coil,
installed underneath the ceramic glass surface. The coil creates magnetic field
at the bottom of the dish (which can me magnetized) which in turn originates
whirling fl ows of current which then heat the hotplate.
IMPORTANT!
In case sugar or other heavily sweetened substance is spilled on the hotplate,
wipe it immediately and remove the sugar residues with a scraper although the
cooking zone is still hot, otherwise the hotplate may be damaged.
Avoid cleaning the cooktop while the cooking zones are still hot, as you may
damage the hob.
Appropriate cookware for
induction hotplates
• Induction hotplate will function perfectly only if appropriate cookware is used.
• Dish should be in the middle of the hotplate during cooking.
• The appropriate cookware is the one which enables induction, for example
steel, enamel or steel alloy cookware. Pots made from steel alloy with copper or
aluminium bottom, or glass pots are inappropriate.
• If you use the pressure cooker (“economy pot”) keep it under close surveillance
until proper pressure is obtained. Hotplate should fi rst operate on maximum
power, then follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use the appropriate
sensor to decrease the power.
• When buying cookware, check if it bears the label “allows induction”.

Magnet test
Use small magnet to test if the dish bottom is magnetic. Only dishes where
magnet sticks to the bottom are suitable for induction cooking.
Dish recognition
One of great advantages of the induction hotplate is dish recognition. Even if
there are no dishes upon the hotplate, or the dish diameter is smaller than the
diameter of the relevant hotplate, there are no thermal energy losses. When the
hotplate is on, the power indicator displays letter “U”. If you place the dish over
that hotplate within the following 10 minutes, the hotplate recognizes the dish
and turns on to the preset power value.
At the moment you remove the dish from the hotplate, power is suspended. If
