your induction hob

General
Operation induction
A magnetic field is generated in the appliance. By placing a pan with an iron
base on a cooking zone, a current is induced in the pan base. This induced
current generates heat in the base of the pan.
The coil (1) in the hob (2) generates a
magnetic field (3). By placing a pan
with an iron base (4) on the coil, a
current is induced in the base of the
pan.
Easy
The electronic controls are accurate and easy to set. On the lowest setting, you
can melt chocolate directly in the pan, for example, or cook ingredients that
you would normally heat in a bain-marie.
Fast
Thanks to the induction hob's high power levels, bringing food to the boil is
very quick. Cooking food through takes just as long as for other types of
cooking.
Clean
The hob is easy to clean. Because the cooking zones do not get any hotter than
the pans themselves, food spills cannot burn on.
Safe
The heat is generated in the pan itself. The glass top does not get any warmer
than the pan. This means that the cooking zone is considerable cooler
compared to that from a Ceramic hob or a gasburner. Once a pan has been
taken away, the cooking zone cools down quickly.

What you should pay attention to
Induction cooking is extremely safe. Because the heat is generated in the pan
and the ceramic plate will not get hotter than the contents of the pan, the
chance that you will burn yourself on the hob is very slight. However, there are,
as with any other hob, a number of matters of which you should be aware.

This appliance should only be connected to the mains supply by a qualified
electrician.
Never open the casing of the appliance. Only authorised personnel may
open the appliance or carry out work on the mains power supply. The power
supply must be disconnected before the appliance is cleaned or repaired.
Preferably, by removing the plug from the socket, switching off the
(automatic) fuse(s) or setting the switch in the supply cable to zero in the
case of a fixed connection.
Do not continue to use an appliance whose cooking surface is showing a
break or cracks. Switch the appliance off immediately. Disconnect it from the
power supply to avoid electric shocks and contact your service agent.
When you use the hob for the first time, you will notice that it smells 'new'.
This is caused by the appliance's finish heating up. It is perfectly normal. The
odour will disappear of its own accord as a result of ventilation.
Keep natural ventilation openings open.
Ensure that there is a sufficient gap between the hob and the contents of
the drawer.
Do not place any flammable objects in the drawer.
Do not allow small children in the vicinity of the hob during and soon after
cooking.
