OPERATION
Inductive zone – principles of operation
Induction cooking zones only work when a ferromagnetic pan is placed on it.
Induction heating features two main advantages:
as the pan is the sole source of heat, the heat use is optimised,
no heating inertia occurs, as cooking starts automatically the moment the pan is placed on
the surface of the heating panel, and ends when the pan is removed.
Protection equipment:
The protections activate rarely if the panel is installed and operated correctly.
Fan: the appliance has a cooling fan to help extend the life of the electronics. When the heat-
ing panel is being used intensively, this will come on and you will hear a whirring sound. The
fan may continue to run after the appliance has been switched off.
Transistor: the temperature of the electronics is measured constantly by a probe. The system
disconnects the cooking zones which are near the overheated components automatically
should the probe trigger such a signal.
Pot detection: the pan detector is a key element of the panel, which determines whether the
heating can start and when to stop it. Small objects which may occur within the cooking zones,
e.g. teaspoon, knife, or a ring, will be disregarded and the system will not activate.
A power generator supplies the coil installed in the
heating panel. An induction coil is located under each
cooking zone. When a cooking zone is switched on, this
coil creates a magnetic field which impacts directly on
the base of the pan and heats it up. The cooking zone
itself is heated up indirectly by the heat given off by the
pan. The surface of the hob remains cold.
