Induction
Function
An induction coil is installed beneath each burner. If a burner is turned on, the coil produces a magnetic field, which operates directly on the cookware bottom and heats it. The burner is indirectly heated by the heat radiated from the pot.
Burners with induction operate only when cookware with a magnetizable bottom is placed on them, see "Selecting cookware".
The induction considers automatically the size of the placed cookware, which means it operates only in the area of the surface covered by the cookware bottom.
The burner does not operate
–when turned on without or with unsuitable cookware (cookware without magnetizable bottom).
–when the bottom diameter of the placed cookware is too small.
–when the cookware is removed from a turned on burner.
The symbol ß alternating with 0 or the last set power level will flash in the burner display.
If suitable cookware is placed on the burner within 3 minutes, the ß symbol goes out.
If no or unsuitable cookware is used, the burner and cooktop are turned off automatically after 3 minutes.
Do not place knives, forks or spoons etc., or other metallic items on the cooktop. If the cooktop is switched on, or if there is residual heat present, the metallic items can heat up and cause burning. Remember that metallic items can cause the burner to heat up unintentionally! Switch the cooktop off after use.
