Induction; How It Works; Pans - Miele KM 7678 FR Operating And Installation Instructions

How it works

Induction coils are located under the
ceramic surface. These coils create a
magnetic field that reacts directly with
the base of the pan and heats it up. The
ceramic surface itself is heated up
indirectly by the heat given off by the
pan.
The position, size and shape of the pots
and pans are recognised automatically
by the induction hob.
An induction cooking zone only works
when a pan with a magnetic base is
placed on it (see "Pans").
The pan base material and the positions
of the pans on the hob affect the power
of the induction coils. This can affect
the cooking behaviour.

Risk of burning due to hot items.
When the appliance is switched on
either deliberately or by mistake, or
when there is residual heat present,
there is the risk of metal items placed
on the hob heating up.
Do not use the appliance as a resting
place for anything.
After use, switch the hob off with
the  sensor control.

Pans

Pan size
Round pans should preferably have a
base diameter from 145 mm up to a
maximum of 350 mm. Pans with a base
diameter between 100 mm and 145 mm
will not be detected in every position on
the hob.
Oval/square pans must not exceed
dimensions of 380 mm x 300 mm.
Suitable pans
- stainless steel pans with a magnetic
base
- enamelled steel pans
- cast iron pans
Please be aware that the properties of
the pan base can affect the evenness
with which the food heats up (e.g. when
making pancakes). The base of the pan
must be able to distribute the heat
evenly. A sandwich base made of
stainless steel is particularly suitable.
