2.1 General Description

Advantages of induction cooking

The hob is equipped with an induction generator for each cooking zone. Each generator located under the glass ceramic cooking surface creates an electromagnetic field which induces a thermal current in the base of the pan. This means the heat is no longer transmitted from the hob to the pan but created directly inside the pan by the inductive current.

2.2 Cooking zones

• Energy saving thanks to the direct transmission of energy to the pan (suitable magnetisable cookware is required) compared to traditional electric cooking.

• Improved safety as the energy is only transmitted to the pan placed on the hob.

• High level of energy transmitted from the induction cooking zone to the base of the pan.

• Rapid heating speed.

• Reduced danger of burns as the cooking surface is only heated under the base of the pan; foods which overflow do not stick.
