How it works
Induction coils are located under the
ceramic surface. These coils create a
magnetic field that reacts directly with
the base of the pan and heats it up. The
ceramic surface itself is heated up
indirectly by the heat given off by the
pan.
The position, size and shape of the pots
and pans are recognised automatically
by the induction cooktop.
An induction cooktop only works when
a pan with a magnetic base is placed
on it (see "Cookware").
Risk of burning due to hot items!
When the cooktop is switched on,
either deliberately or by mistake, or
when there is residual heat present,
there is a risk of metal items placed
on the cooktop heating up.
Do not use the cooktop as a resting
place for anything else.
After use, switch the cooktop off with
the sensor control.

Noises
The following noises can occur in the
pan, depending on what it is made of
and how it has been constructed.
On the higher power levels, the
appliance might buzz. This will
decrease or cease altogether when the
power level is reduced.
If the pan base is made of layers of
different materials (e.g. in a sandwiched
base), it might emit a cracking sound.
You might hear a clicking sound from
the electronic switches, especially on
lower power levels.
You might hear a whirring sound when
the cooling fan switches on. It switches
on to protect the electronics when the
cooktop is being used intensively. The
fan may continue to run after the
appliance has been switched off.
