Induction
Cooking
•
The process of induction cooking involves the application of electric voltage
to a conductor spool beneath a glass‐ceramic plate. (The glass‐ceramic
includes polycrystalline materials and is simply called “glass”
throughout
this
manual.)
•
The application of voltage to conductor spool creates magnetic fields that
directly heat the bottom of the cookware through a physical effect.
•
This saves time and energy because, unlike common electric hotplates,
induction cookware is heated by the electromagnetic force that is created
beneath the glass plate‐‐not by a heating element. Due to the technical
characteristics described above, induction cooking has the advantage of
reaching the selected temperature in a shorter time.
•
In addition, the heat supply promptly adapts to changed settings and can be
controlled in small steps. This occurs as quickly as a gas stove, because the
energy reaches the pot immediately, without having to heat other materials
first (e.g. electric stove element). Induction technology combines this fast
reaction with the basic advantage of electricity, to exactly adjust the heat
supply.

Section 7
Advantages of Induction Cooking
Energy efficient:
Uses 80% of the energy produced when compared to 50% used by traditional
cooking methods.
Fast:
Heats up quickly, up to 60% faster than electric and the same as gas cooktops.
- 11 -
Safer form of cooking:
Induction heat is a safer form of cooking when used properly as instructed in
this manual. There is no flame and little residual heat after the cookware is
removed. Once the cookware is removed from the glass plate, the device
automatically switches to standby mode. The cooktop detects when suitable
cookware is placed on the glass plate; and if this is not the case, no energy is
transmitted.
Easy to clean:
The glass plate is heated indirectly via the bottom of the cookware and cools
quickly when the cookware is removed. Spilled foods do not get a chance to
burn and can be wiped away quickly and easily.
