Special features of the induction hob

Glass ceramic hob

Unlike cast-iron hobs, your oven has a flat
hob made from glass ceramic with clearly vis-
ible cooking zones. So that the glass ceramic
does not become damaged and lasts for a
long time, you need to care for it and maintain
it and use suitable cookware.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
■ If the surface is cracked, switch off
the appliance to avoid the possibili-
ty of electric shock. Water that runs
through cracks inside the glass ce-
ramic hob may be electrifi ed! If there
are visible cracks on your glass ceram-
ic hob, disconnect the appliance from
the mains (switch off and/or unscrew
fuse). Contact our Service Centre (see
page EN-40).
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
Improper handling of the appliance
may result in damage.
■ Do not push heavy pans across the
appliance; The glass ceramic may be-
come scratched.
■ Wipe the hob and the base of the
pots prior to use to wipe away any
dirt which may cause scratches.
■ Use the hob as a work surface or to
place objects on only once it has com-
pletely cooled off. Materials which
are sensitive to heat such as plastic
dishes could become damaged if this
is the case.

Operating principle of an
inductive hob
A coil with an electric current running through
it is located beneath the glass ceramic surface
that generates a magnetic alternating field.
This alternating field induces eddy currents
in cookware placed on the cooking surface
and thereby heats the cookware. The eddy
currents therefore turn the cookware into a
source of heat itself. Although the surface of
the glass ceramic hob heats up, this is not as
a result of the electric field, but as a result of
the heat that emanates from the pot.
The main advantages of an induction hob as
compared to a conventional glass ceramic
hob are listed below:
– The cooking process is expedited.
– Energy consumption is considerably low-
ered.
– Greater flexibility: Only the section where
the cookware is actually placed heats up.
– Cleaning the hob is made easier because
the glass ceramic is heated only where the
pot makes contact with the hob and there
is less chance of food easily burning.
– Higher safety: As soon as cookware is
removed from the hob, the cooking zone
automatically switches off. The cooking
zone cannot be switched on without any
cookware.
