Identifying the parts of your Portable Induction Hob
How induction hobs work
An induction hob heats in a dynamically new
way. A very strong magnetic field is created
by electricity running through an electrical
coil positioned under a ceramic plate. The
‘induction current’, created by the magnetic
field, generates heat in any cookware capable
of being magnetised, when standing on the
ceramic plate. Only the pans are heated - the
ceramic plate remains relatively cool. Because
the ceramic plate stays relatively cool, spilt
food will not burn-on to the surface, and can
be simply wiped off at the end of cooking.
Choosing cookware for
induction hob use
Only pans that can be magnetised can be
used on induction hobs. Most recent Judge
and Stellar cookware is induction-ready, and
is described as ‘suitable for all hob types’.
Some cookware, although made of non-
magnetic materials, has special bases which
allow efficient working on induction hobs.
It is easy to see if your current cookware is
suitable for use on an induction hob - just
see if a fridge magnet will stick to the base
of the pans. If it does, the pan is magnetic
and will heat on an induction hob.

• E02: Stove-top overheat
• E03: Voltage underloaded/overloaded.
Cautions
• Check that the electrical supply ratings of
the appliance are correct for your home
(see specification).
• The induction hob must be fitted to an
earthed socket, which should have an
individually rated load of above 10A. The
plug must be fully pushed into the socket.

operation.
• Never move the hob by pulling the Power
Cord
9
.
• Ensure that the Power Cord
