Visit our website at www.cda.eu to find your nearest stockist
Induction hobs excel in terms of their cooking speed and
eciency, as the technology used transfers heat to the pan itself
by electromagnetic induction; this reduces the losses associated
with heat escape and leads to a reduction in the surface
temperature of the hob, when compared with other types. With
good quality induction compatible pans the eciency of an
induction hob can be as high as 85%.
The key benefit oered by the HCN510 is the flexibility oered
at installation. Induction hobs have traditionally required high
current supplies and as a result could not be used in households
with limited supplies. The HCN510 can be configured to work on
four dierent power consumption levels, which means induction
cooking is now a viable option for everyone.
CDA have developed their induction range by launching the HCN510FR, a
versatile hob with great user benefits and stylish design.

FEATURES EXPLAINED
As with all CDA induction hobs, the HCN510 is packed full of features to ensure the best cooking experience,
and to give you peace of mind whilst cooking and when not in use. These features include:
Residual heat indicators
Residual heat indicators
Despite the comparative lack of
heat after cooking on an induction
hob, CDA induction hobs are
still equipped with residual heat
indicators to warn when a zone
is hot after use. These switch on
automatically when the zone is
switched o, and stay on until the
zone reaches a safe temperature
to touch.
Booster
Whilst induction is the most
ecient way to cook on a hob,
the booster function on each zone
makes cooking even quicker,
increasing the power level by 33%
for a maximum of ten minutes.
Safety key lock
For peace of mind when
unattended, all CDA induction hobs
have a safety key lock which switch
othe control panel completely.
The key lock can be used when
the hob is switched obut also
during use to prevent accidental
changes to your cooking plans.
Timer
Oering even more flexibility, the
HCN510 has a timer that can be
set to switch oa cooking zone
automatically
Anti-overheat protection
To prevent damage to the hob,
each zone is equipped with a
temperature sensor. This sensor
will automatically switch othe
zone if the zone reaches too high
a temperature to allow the zone to
cool down.
Automatic pan detection
The HCN510 is fitted with sensors
that detect if a pan is not in position
on a selected zone. Only when
a pan is in the correct position
will the magnetic field coils be
activated. This is a unique feature
of induction hobs, where power
is applied only when pans are
located. If the pan is not correctly
in place, the display will show a
warning symbol and the zone will
not work.
Small object detection
To prevent accidental use of the
hob, the small object detection
system will switch othe hob
automatically if small items, for
example cutlery or towels, are left
on the control panel. Once these
items have been removed, the hob
will work as normal.
Induction compatible pans
The only specific requirement for
cooking on an induction hob is that
only ferromagnetic pans will work
(A fridge magnet will stick to the
base of the pan if it is compatible
with induction hobs). High quality,
flat based pans work best with
induction and these will also give
the best eciency in use, and new
pans will carry this symbol on the
packaging to show they can be
used.

Cooking on Induction
The principle of induction cooking is based on magnetic effect.
When you put your cookware on an induction zone and switch it on, the electronic boards in the hob produce induced currents in
the base of the cookware and instantly raise its temperature. This heat is then transferred to the food inside the cookware.
The best cookware to use with induction cooking has thick flat bases, as the heat will be better distributed so cooking
more evenly.
Most cookware is compatible with induction cooking. There are three ways to check the suitability of your cookware:
1. Using a magnet to see if the base of the pan is magnetic: if three magnet sticks, then the cookware is compatible.
2. Place the pan on one of the cooking zones switched on to power level 4: if the display remains on, then the cookware is
compatible. If the display flashes, the cookware cannot be used on an induction hob.
3. Check the instructions or packaging of the pans for the symbols indicating suitability for use with induction.
