FAQ
What kind of design is recommended? Should I choose a framed hob or one that is flush with the worktop? <paragraph>This is primarily an aesthetic question, but also depends on the kind of worktop you have. Flush hobs are mainly installed with stone worktops. However, make sure that the hob can be accessed from underneath the worktop.</paragraph>How does induction conserve energy? <paragraph>Induction is the technology of the future: it is faster and more energy-efficient. One litre of water is brought to the boil in approximately two minutes. This is made possible by smart technology. Induction generates heat exactly where it is needed in the base of the pan. The glass around the heated cooking zone stays virtually cold, so no energy is wasted. An induction stove uses up to 40% less energy compared to other heating methods.</paragraph>Induction hobs offer pan detection. How does this work? Have you ever turned your stove on by accident or forgotten to turn off the heat? Now this not a problem any more. Pan detection ensures that the stove generates heat only when a pan is placed on the hob. A timer-controlled safety shut-off monitors each cooking zone and turns it off after a certain period. And if you have some aspiring junior chefs in your family, use the childproof lock to prevent accidents.Induction hobs offer a PowerPlus function. What is it for? The PowerPlus function offered by almost all induction hobs helps you save time. If, for example, you need to heat up a large quantity of water, you can have a cooking zone work at an increased power level of up to 140%. PowerPlus puts up to 3700 watts at your disposal.The cooking zones are operated by innovative slider controls. How do they work? This slider concept makes cooking even more fun: adjust the heat levels by sliding your finger over the controls.What exactly is a Teppan Yaki designed for? Professional caterers have been raving about it, and you can have it in your own kitchen: a Teppan Yaki. Why is this Japanese method of cooking on a flat grilling surface so popular? Because you don't need any pots and pans, it's entertaining for your guests to watch, and you don't have to worry about choosing the right cooking temperature and time. The cooking temperature, for example, can be set precisely according to the kind of food youre preparing, and it stay at a constant level, no matter how many delicacies you pile onto the griddle. This ensures heat sensitive food is cooked particularly gently so that its taste, quality and nutrients are perfectly preserved. A Teppan Yaki will turn your dinner parties into an unforgettable experience.What different kinds of hobs are available? There are radiant hobs, which are controlled via a stove or switch box (formerly Quicklight). By contrast, autarkic radiant hobs (formerly Toptronic) and induction hobs feature controls situated directly on the glass surface. The space saved in this way can be used by fitting an additional 1/6th drawer. Cooking by forced induction is the nec plus ultra for the chef's home kitchen. The CombiCookTop range (formerly Fusion) includes induction hobs that have an extractor embedded in the hob.How does cooking with induction work? Instead of the traditional heating element, an induction coil is placed beneath the glass ceramic hob, generating a varying electromagnetic field. The field generates eddy currents in the base of the pan, which leads to a rapid heating of the magnetic pan material.Is there a separate cooking zone for fish pans? Fish pans can be used without difficulty on any cooking hob featuring a frying zone.What is the purpose of a hob with three cooking zones? As steamers are becoming increasingly popular, we have found that people tend to use fewer pots and pans in their cooking.

Hobs that are fitted flush with the worktop achieve perfect aesthetic integration and create the impression of compact simplicity.

As induction hobs are quite popular, there is a broad range of available well-priced pans.</paragraph>Are my pans suitable for use with an induction appliance? <paragraph>Use a magnet to test whether your pans can be used with an induction hob.

Therefore spilt food won't burn and the hob can be cleaned easily with a damp cloth.How do you clean the hob? Slight soiling can be removed with a smooth cloth and a little detergent.
