Operating the cooktop

Induction
How it works
An induction coil is located under each
b
urner. When a burner is turned on, this
coil creates a magnetic field that
impacts directly on the base of the pan
and heats it up. The burner itself is
heated up indirectly by the heat given
off by the pan.
An induction burner only works when a
ferr
omagnetic pan is placed on it (see
"Cookware"). The induction burner
automatically recognizes the size of the
pan.
In the burner indicator, the symbol will
flash alt
ernately with the selected
power setting:
– No cookware or unsuitable cookware
(it
ems without a magnetizable
bottom) is being used.
– The bottom diameter of the
coo
kware being used is too small.
– The cookware is removed from a
burner that is on.
If suitable cookware is placed on the
burner within 3 min
utes, the goes out,
and you can continue as usual.
If no cookware or if unsuitable
coo
kware is used, the burner will
automatically turn off after 3 minutes.
When the appliance is turned on
e
ither inadvertently or by mistake, or
when there is residual heat present,
there is the risk of the metal items
heating up.
Danger of burns!
Do not use the cooktop as a storage
space. T
urn the burners off after use
with the appropriate sensor buttons.
Noises
When you use an induction burner, the
following noises may occur, depending
on the type and shape of the cookware
bottom:
On the higher power settings, it might
buzz. This will decr
ease or cease
altogether when the power setting is
reduced.
Cookware with bottoms made of
differ
ent materials (e.g. sandwich
bottoms) may produce a crackling
noise.
Whistling may occur if connected
burners (see "Boost
er") are
simultaneously in use and cookware
with bottoms made of different
materials are on them.
The electronics may produce a clicking
sound, especially at lower power
settings.
You might hear a whirring sound when
the coo
ling fan turns on. It turns on to
protect the electronics when the
cooktop is being used intensively. The
fan may continue to run after the
appliance has been turned off.
