Working Principle
The induction hob comprises a coil,a hotplate made of ferromagnetic material and a
control system.Electrical current generates a powerful magnetic field through the
coil.This procuces a large number of vortices which in turn generate heat which is
then transmitted through the cookingzone to the cooking vessel.
Safety
The hob was specially designed for domestic use.
Protection from over-heating
A sensor monitors the temperature in the cooking zones.When the temperature
exceeds a safe level,the cooking zone is automatically switched off.
Detection of small or non-magnetic items
When an unsuitable size or non-magnetic pan (e.g. aluminium), or some other small item (e.g. knife,
fork, key) has been left on the hob, the hob automatically go on to standby in 1 minute. The fan will keep
cooking down the induction hob for a further 1 minute.
Auto shutdown
Auto shutdown is a safety protection function for your induction hob. It shutdown automatically
whenever you forget to turn off a cooking zone. The default working times for various power levels are
shown in the below table:
Warning: Anyone who has been fitted with a heart pacemaker should consult a
doctor before using the induction hotplate.
