Introduction to Induction Cooking INDUCTION COOKING How Induction Cooking Works An induction coil is beneath the ceramic glass cooking surface. This generates magnetic fields, which act directly on the base of the pots and pans as compared to methods that first heat the ceramic glass. This means that the base of the pan is immediately heated up, saving time and energy. Since the heat required for cooking is generated directly in the base of the pan, the Cooking Zone itself warms up only slightly.
Introduction to Induction Cooking Selecting Cookware CAUTION The pan base of suitable kitchenware heats up within a few seconds! The water should boil rapidly. • You can also check cookware suitability with a magnet. If the magnet remains fixed to the base of the pan, the pan is suitable for induction cooking. Avoiding Scratches It is recommended to always use heavier gauge stainless steel cookware on your induction cooktop surface.
Introduction to Induction Cooking Selecting Cookware Cookware Selection and Placement It is important that the proper cookware be used and placed correctly on the cooktop. ANY one of the incorrect conditions shown below may be detected by the sensors located below the ceramic cooktop surface. If this happens, one or more of the Cooking Zones will not heat, and an E will appear in the affected Cooking Zone display. Correct the problem before attempting to use the cooktop.
Care and Cleaning Cleaning the Cooktop General cleaning for induction ceramic glass cooking surfaces is considerably easier than for cooking surfaces with radiant heating. NOTE: To prevent accidental activation of the controls, it is recommended that you set the CHILD LOCK feature before cleaning. IMPORTANT • Cleaning agents must not come into contact with the hot ceramic glass surface. All cleaning agents must be rinsed off thoroughly with clean water.
