4.2.1 How induction cooktops work
(PKFI3, PKI3, PKIW3)
An induction coil is located underneath an induction cooking
zone. If the cooking zone is switched on, this coil creates a
magnetic field that acts directly on the base of the pot thus
heating it up. The cooking zone is only indirectly heated up by
the heat emitted by the pot. Cooking zones with induction only
work if the cookware has a magnetisable base.
Induction automatically takes into account the size of the
cookware used which means that only the area in the cooking
zone covered by the base of the pot is heated up.
XX
Observe the minimum pot base diameter (see table 4.7).
Power levels
The high power output of induction cooktops results in the very
quick heating up of cookware. In order to avoid burning food,
slight adjustment is needed in comparison to conventional cooking
systems when selecting the power level.
