causing a malfunction.
– Should any part of the appliance catch fire, never try to extinguish the flames with water.
Disconnect the appliance and smother the flames with a damp cloth.
– Place the pan at the centre of the cooking circle.
– Do not overheat an empty pan or pot during long periods of time.
– Do not heat the foodstuffs in cans or other airtight containers to avoid explosions caused
by air expansion.

2. WORKING PRINCIPLE AND CHARACTERISTICS

Working principle
An induction hotplate works by heating a receptacle using the currents induced by a magnetic
field. The electric current passes through a coil of copper wire, generating a magnetic field.
When this magnetic flux magnetizes the bottom of the cooking pot/pan, low intensity Eddy
currents (loops of electrical current induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field
in the conductor) are produced, which increase the temperature of the container rapidly. The
principle behind the induction hob is to multiply these Eddy currents while changing the direc-
tion of the high frequency field in order to heat the bottom of the receptacle.
For the induction method to function properly, the cooking utensil must be ferromagnetic (see
details in the section Cooking utensils). As the induction hob uses magnetic fields to heat, it
generates high heat without fire, fumes, gasses, etc. When the magnetic currents pass through
non-metallic materials, the hob does not produce heat.
Characteristics
Multiple Safety Protections
– Protection against voltage drops/surges.
– The induction cooker is only suitable for pots and pans with a diameter between 12 and 28
cm (part in contact with the induction hob).
– Protection against overheating.
