14 Operation and Handing
This chapter provides you with important notices with regard to operating the device.
Observe the following notices to avoid dangers and damages:
Warning
► Do not leave the device unsupervised when it is in operation, so that you can intervene
quickly in the event of dangers.
14.1 Functioning and Advantages of Induction cooktops
With an induction cooktop the heat is not transferred by a heating element via the cooking
utensil to the food to be cooked, but rather the necessary heat is generated directly in the
cooking pot with the aid of induction currents.
An induction coil underneath the ceramic glass hob generates an alternating
electromagnetic field, which penetrates the ceramic glass hob and induces the heat-
generating current in the base of the cookware.
Advantages of the Induction Hob
• Energy-saving cooking due to direct energy transfer to the pot.
• Enhanced safety since energy is only transferred when a pot is placed on the hob.
• Energy transfer between the induction cooking zone and the base of the pot with high
degree of efficiency.
• Rapid heating.
• Low risk of burning, since the cooking surface is only heated by the base of the pot.
• Boiling over pot contents does not burn onto the hob.
• Rapid, fine-tuned control of the input power.
14.2 Safety Instructions
Warning
► Do not leave the appliance unattended during operation, so that you can intervene
quickly in the event of danger.
► Do not move the appliance during operation or with hot cookware on the hot plate.
► Ensure that the cookware is properly centred on the hob. It must not be positioned on
the control panel or on the frame.
► In order to prevent overheating do not place any aluminium foil or metal panels on the
appliance surface.
► Do not touch the hot surface of the ceramic hob.
Although the induction cooktop itself does not produce any heat during the cooking
process, the temperature of the cookware does heat up the hob.
► Keep the hob and the underside of the pot clean and dry at all times. If liquid gets
between the base of the pot and the hob, this liquid can vaporise and the resulting
pressure can cause the pot to jump into the air, with a resulting risk of injury.
