OPERATING PRINCIPLE
(Fig. 1)
It exploits the electromagnetic properties of most cooking vessels. The coil
(inductor) which produces the electromagnetic field is operated and controlled
by the electronic circuit. The heat is transmitted to food by the cooking
vessel itself.
The cooking process takes place as described below.
- loss of heat is minimum (high efficiency)
- the system stops automatically when the vessel is removed or even just lifted from the hob
- the electronic circuit guarantees maximum flexibility and fine adjustments.

Cooking vessels
(Fig. 3)
- a magnet-attracting vessel may be a suitable vessel for induction cooking
- prefer vessels that are specially declared to be suitable for induction cooking
- flat- and thick-bottomed vessels
- a vessel with the same diameter as zones ensures the maximum exploitation of power
- a smaller vessel reduces power exploitation but does not cause any energy loss We would anyhow not recommend the use of vessels with diameters smaller than 10 cm.
- stainless-steel vessels with multi-layer or ferritic stainless-steel bottoms when specifically suited for induction cooking
- cast-iron preferably enamel-bottomed vessels to avoid scratching the program surface
- We do not recommend the use of any glass, ceramic, earthenware, aluminum, copper or non-magnetic (austenitic) stainless steel vessels
