6.7Induction hob

Metal objects such as silverware or lids must not be placed on the cooking hob surface as they can become very hot.

6.7.1 Cooking zones

The appliance has 2 cooking zones of various power levels and diameters. Their position is

clearly indicated with circles and the heat is limited to within the diameters traced on the glass.

The 2 cooking zones are of the HIGH-LIGHT type, they turn on after a few seconds and the

heating is adjustable using the knob on the front panel from low to high.

Under each cooking zone there is a coil called an inductor which is powered by an electronic system and which creates a variable magnetic field. When a pan is positioned within this magnetic field, the high frequency currents are concentrated directly onto the pan producing the heat required for cooking the food.

The 2 lights at the front between the cooking zones come on when one or more heating zones surpasses 60°C. The lights only go off when the temperature drops below approx. 60°C.
