This document describes an induction hob, detailing its functions, technical specifications, usage, and maintenance.
The induction hob is designed for cooking food in a home environment. It utilizes induction technology, where each cooking zone is equipped with an induction generator that creates an electromagnetic field. This field induces a thermal current directly in the base of suitable pans, heating the pan itself rather than transmitting heat from the hob surface. This method offers several advantages, including energy saving due to direct energy transmission, improved safety as energy is only transmitted to the pan, high energy transfer efficiency, rapid heating speed, and reduced risk of burns as the cooking surface only heats under the pan base, preventing spilled food from sticking.
The hob features multiple cooking zones with varying dimensions and power draws. For example, zones 1-3 have dimensions of 160 x 160 mm and a power draw of 1300 W at level 9, increasing to 1400 W with the booster function. Zones 2-4 are larger at 210 x 210 mm, with a power draw of 2300 W at level 9, and 3000 W with the booster. The power levels are approximate and may vary based on the pan used and settings.
The hob includes a "Booster function" (symbol P) which provides maximum power for a limited time (up to 10 minutes, then automatically reduces to level 9). This function is useful for rapidly boiling water or bringing food to a high temperature. An "Accelerator function" (symbol A) is also available, allowing maximum power to be delivered for a time proportional to the selected power, achieving the desired power level in the shortest amount of time.
A "Controls lock" feature is present to prevent accidental or inappropriate use, particularly useful in households with children or pets. When activated, the controls are locked, and an error message appears if a knob is turned for more than 30 seconds.
The appliance is equipped with a power control module that optimizes and limits consumption. If the overall set power level exceeds the maximum permitted limit, the electronic circuit board automatically manages the power supplied to the hot plates, maintaining maximum deliverable power levels. A flashing power level on the display indicates automatic limitation to a new selected level. Priority is given to the last zone set. The power control module does not affect the total power consumption of the appliance. The maximum power can be regulated to operate at 7.4 kW (factory setting), 4.5 kW, 3.8 kW, 3.0 kW, 2.6 kW, or 1.9 kW.
The hob also incorporates safety features such as an automatic device that limits the duration of use. If cooking settings are not changed, the maximum operation time for each zone depends on the power level selected. When this device activates, pan heating is deactivated, and the "H" symbol appears on the display. Residual heat is indicated by the "H" symbol on the display, which clears once the temperature drops below 60°C.
