HOW INDUCTION HOBS WORK

An induction hob heats in a unique 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, while standing on the ceramic plate. Only the pan is

heated - the ceramic plate remains relatively cool. As a result, 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,

Stellar, and Horwood cookware is induction-ready, and is described as ‘suitable for all

hob types’. Some cookware, although made of non-magnetic material, has a special

base which allows efﬁcient working on induction hobs. A simple way to check - if a

fridge magnet will stick to the base of the pans, then the pan will heat on an induction

hob. Pans with a base diameter of less than 120mm may not work on this hob.

Ensure all cookware used on the hob is clean before use.

HOW TO USE

Main Cooking Functions

Insert the Mains Plug1. 3into a mains socket and switch on at the socket. A “beep”

will sound and the indicator above the control will illuminate, to indicate that

power is applied.

Note: if any control is touched when enabled, a “beep” will sound to conﬁrm operation

of the control.

Cooking may be controlled in either Power mode or Temperature mode; each

mode is selected in turn using the control. In Temperature mode, the desired

temperature will be reached as quickly as possible and then maintained; this is useful

to prevent food burning. In Power mode, the hob will work in a similar way to a

conventional hob.

Touch the

touch the control again, to return to the start point, the default Power setting.

Once cooking has started, you may use the Timing and Lock functions - refer to the

following headings.

When you have ﬁnished cooking, remove the cooking vessel from the hob, (as the

radiant heat can damage the hob over time). Touch the control to switch OFF,

and remove cookware, (as leaving cookware on the hob can overheat the appliance)

CAUTIONS

Check that the electrical supply ratings of the appliance are correct for your home•

(see speciﬁcation).

The induction hob must be connected via an earthed socket, which should have an

FROM INDUCTION HOBS - SEEK THE ADVICE OF A DOCTOR.

Do not insert plug with wet hands.

•

Do not operate this device using a timer/controller, or remote control system.•

Do not place the hob near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.•

Do not use the hob in high humidity conditions.•

The hob should be placed on a level stable worktop at least 10cm from walls or other•

solid obstructions.

Do not use the induction hob on a metal table.

•

Do not use the induction hob on a carpet or tablecloth - the air circulation fan ports•

are underneath the hob, and could become blocked with ﬁbres.

Do not move the induction hob whilst in operation.

•

Never move the hob by pulling the power cord.•

Ensure that the power cord does not trail over the edge of the worktop, and that it is•

kept away from any hot object.

Do not operate the appliance if the power cord has been damaged: contact
