OPERATION
Induction cooking zone operation principle
Electric generator supplies power to a coil located inside
theappliance.Asthecoilgeneratesmagneticeld,in-
duced currents permeable to a pot placed on the plate.
The currents make the pot a true heat transmitter while
the glass surface of the plate remains cold.
Thesystemprovidesfortheusageofpotswithbottomssusceptibletomagneticeld.
In general the inductive technology is characterised by two features:
• the entire heat emitted by the pot can be utilized,
• lack of thermal inertia phenomenon as cooking starts automatically once a pot is put on
the plate and ends once it is taken off the plate.
Protection device:
If the plate has been correctly installed and is properly used, protective devices are seldom
needed.
Fan: Protects and cools the control and power components. It works automatically with two
speeds. The fan works when the hotplates are switched off and stops when the electronic
system reaches appropriate temperature.
Overheating safety device: Temperature of electronic circuits is continuously monitored by
a temperature sensor. If temperature is raised beyond a safe level, this protection system will
reduce cooking zone heat setting or shut down the cooking zones adjacent to the overheated
electronic circuits.
Detection: Potdetectionenablestheplateoperationand,consequently,heating.Smallob-
jects left on a hotplate (i.e. a teaspoon, knife or ring) will not be treated as pots and will not
cause the plate to switch on.
