Specification

Product Structure

Principle and Characteristics

Working Principle

An induction hotplate works by heating a
receptacle using the currents induced by a
magnetic field. When an electric current
passes through a coil, it generates a magnetic
field. On an induction hotplate, this magnetic
field is then induced into the base of the
receptacle. Foucault currents of very low
intensity pass through the base of the
receptacle. Despite their low intensity, these
currents generate heat in the receptacle as
they pass through it. The principle behind the
induction hotplate is to multiply these
Foucault

currents

while

changing

the

direction of the very high frequency field in
order to heat the bottom of the receptacle.
The heating process is instantaneous,
because as soon as the coil power supply is
activated, the receptacle is heated. Food is
then heated through contact with the base of
the pan.
For the induction method to function
properly, the cooking utensil must be
ferromagnetic. (See details in the section
Cooking utensils).

Characteristics

Multiple Safety Protections

• Protection against voltage drops/surges.
• The induction cooker is only suitable for induction pots with a

diameter between 12 and 24 cm (part in contact with the ceramic
plate).

• Protection against appliance overheating.
• Detection of the risk of heating an empty cooking utensil and the

risk of damaging the non-stick coating or igniting oil.

Environmental Protection

• Induction is the most efficient method in terms of energy, with an

energy yield of more than 90%.
Induction does not generate any flames.

• Induction does not need any fuel and reduces the risk of domestic

accidents linked to gas leaks or fire due to its numerous controls.

Intelligent Control

• Multiple cooking functions: multiple cooking modes from low to

high power to meet various cooking needs.

• Wide range of cooking temperatures: maintains and regulates the

cooking temperature intelligently.

• Flexible timer function: allows you to programme the hotplate to

stop cooking after between 1 minute and 2 hours.

• Detection of the presence of induction receptacles: if no receptacle

or an unsuitable receptacle is detected on the induction hotplate,
the alarm is triggered.

• If the temperature of the ceramic glass plate exceeds 50° C at the

end of cooking, the LCD screen flashes and displays "

". The fan

continues to run to cool the plate.

Convenient Cleaning

• The ceramic glass plate is wear-resistant and does not easily tarnish.

It is also easy to clean and maintain.

Caution: the ceramic glass may be hot after being in contact with the
receptacle.
