Working Principle
Product Introduction
1
The induction hotplate is mainly composed of an induced heating coil,
hotplate made of ferromagnetic materials and control system. In principle,
current generates a powerful magnetic field via the coil. Large numbers
of vortexes are produced in the way that the magnetic lines in the field
contact the bottom containing iron or stainless steel substances. The
tremendous energy generated by the vortexes can heat the food directly
by converting efficiency heat energy penetrating through the bottom.

can test them according to one of the following methods:
Place the appliance in the heating zone. If the corresponding heating zone
displays a power level, it shows the suitability of the appliance; if “U” flashes, it
shows the appliance does not fit in the induction cooking.
Have a magnet to contact the appliance. If there is attraction between them, it
shows the appliance also fits in the induction cooking.
Requirement for pot material: the bottom contains materials of magnetic
conductivity.
Requirement for shape: flat bottom, more than 12 cm in diameter.
