Principle and Characteristics

Working Principle

The working principle of the induction cooker is to heat the pot through magnetic induction eddy currents. When an electrical current is passed through the induction coil magnetic fields are generated. When lines of magnetic force pass through the base of a ferromagnetic pan, numerous eddy currents are generated which cause the pan and any foodstuff within it to heat up rapidly. Current will only pass through cookware with a ferromagnetic base (see chapter Cooking utensils).

**Characteristics

**

Multiple Safety Protections

•  Over/under-voltage protection
•  Only suitable for pots made of ferromagnetic based materials with diameter of 12 cm to 24 cm
•  Over-heat protection on cooker surface and internal of cooker
•  Empty cookware detection in order to protect the non stick coating and to avoid oil inflammation.

Environmental Protection

•  This induction hob complies with ErP Directive 2009/25/EC and its EU implementing regulation no. 66/2014.
•  It is ideal for healthy home living with no naked flame and smoke during cooking.
•  To reduce energy consumption, place a lid on the pan whilst cooking.
•  Free from danger and fewer contingency accidents due to leakage, explosion and burning.
•  The cooking area on this induction hob has a working diameter of 193 mm, and its energy consumption is EC (Wh/kg) = 195.

Intelligent Control

•  Multiple heating functions: Multiple heating modes from low power to high power to meet various cooking demands.
•  Wide range fry temperature selection: maintains the selected temperature and regulates cooking temperature intelligently.
•  Flexible Timer function: wide range of presetting time.
•  Automatic alarm function: if no pot or an unsuitable pot is sensed on the ceramic plate the internal detection system will generate an alarm.
•  When the temperature of the ceramic plate is higher than 50°C at the end of cooking , LCD blinks and displays “H”. The fan continues to operate to cool the plate.

Convenient Cleaning

•  High-grade ceramic plate is not easily worn out or tarnished and is convenient for cleaning and maintenance
•  In case of any spills, lift the pot away and clean the spill using a soft damp cloth.
