4. GET TO KNOW YOUR APPLIANCE
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 saucepan. This means the heat is no longer transmitted from the hob to the pan but
created directly inside the pan by the inductive current.
Advantages of an induction hob
- 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 container placed on the hob.
- High level of energy transmitted from the induction cooking zone to the base of the saucepan.
- Rapid heating.
- Reduced danger of burns as the cooking surface is only heated under the base of the saucepan;
foods which overflow do not stick.
4.1 Layout of the cooking zones
Zone Outside diameter (mm) Max. absorbed power (W) *
Absorbed power in power
function (W) *
280 2600 3700
145 1400 2200
180 1850 3000
* power levels are indicative and can vary according to the pan used or the settings made.
4.2 Cookware recognition
If there is no saucepan on a cooking zone or if the saucepan is too small, no energy will be transmitted.
If there is a suitable saucepan on the cooking zone, the recognition system notices it and turns on the
hob to the set power level. Energy transmission is also interrupted when the saucepan is removed from
the cooking zone (the symbol will flash on the display). If the cookware recognition function is
activated in spite of the saucepan or frying pan on the cooking zone being smaller than the zone itself,
only the necessary energy will be transmitted.
Cookware recognition limits: The minimum diameter of the saucepan base is indicated by a circle
inside the cooking zone. Pans with smaller diameters risk not being detected and therefore not activating
the inductor.
