FIRST USE
Using the induction hob
EN 6
Cooking on an induction hob is different from cooking on a traditional
appliance. Induction cooking makes use of a magnetic field to
generate heat.
Induction cooking is fast
To start you will be surprised by the speed of induction cooking.
Especially at higher settings, foods and liquids will boil very rapidly.
It is best not to leave pans unattended to avoid them boiling over or
boiling dry.
The power level adjusts itself
In induction cooking, only the zone on which the pan is placed is used.
If you use a small pan on a large zone, the power will be adjusted to the
diameter of the pan. The power will thus be lower and it will take longer
before the food in the pan comes to the boil.
Clean
The hob is easy to clean. Because the cooking zones do not get any
hotter than the pans themselves, food spills cannot burn on.
Safe
The heat is generated in the pan itself. The glass top does not get any
warmer than the pan. This means that the cooking zone is considerable
cooler compared to that from a Ceramic hob or a gasburner. Once
a pan has been taken away, the cooking zone cools down quickly.
Please note
• Grains of grit may cause scratches which cannot be removed. Only
put pans with a clean base on the cooking surface and always pick
pans up to move them.
• Do not use the hob as a worktop.
• To avoid energy loss, always keep the lid on the pan when cooking.
