INDUCTION
An electronic generator powers a coil located
inside the appliance.
This coil creates a magnetic field, so that when
the pan is placed on the hob, it is permeated by
the induction currents.
These currents make the pan into a real heat
transmitter, while the glass ceramic hob remains
cold.
This system is designed for use with magnetic-bottomed pans.
Put simply, induction technology has two main advantages :
. as heat is emitted only by the pan, heat is maintained at its maximum level and
cooking takes place without any heat loss.
. There is no thermal inertia, as cooking automatically starts when the pan is placed on
the hob and stops when it is removed.
A HIGH SAFETY APPLIANCE ....
If your hob is correctly installed and used, the safety devices will rarely be needed.
• Ventilation fan : to protect and cool the supply and control components. It has two
speeds, operating automatically. The fan works even if the plates are off and this till the
electronic system has enough cooled down.
• Safety "Transistor" : a probe checks permanently the temperature of the electronic
components. If the heat is increasing excessively, it automatically decreases the power of the
plates then cuts them down (the display for power level is flashing) as far as the temperature
of the components meets with the standard again, the hob starts working.
• Safety "Empty pan" : a proble is placed under each heating area. It will immediately
detect a wrong temperature for the empty pan, or the glass ceramic.
• Safety "Detection" : a small object (eg a spoon, knife or ring) placed on the heating area
will not be considered as a pan and therefore the hob will not come on.
• Safety "Boiling over and splashing : if any boiling over ans splashing occur, the hob
will stop. If a big spill or object covers at least two buttons, for at least 10 seconds, clean up
the spill or remove the object, the object is not operating.
