Cooking with Induction: EGO ProfiLine Tabletop and Built-in Cookers

Saves time

More convenient to work with

Makes best use of available cooking space

Up-to-the-minute food preparation

Pleasant atmosphere to work in

Uses less energy

Greater security

Professional chefs who havehad experience of the rapid,convenient cooking thatinduction systems providewill not be able to do withoutthem. They offer a degree of convenience and flexibilitythat no other system canmatch.

Unlike with conventionalelectric cookers, it is not thehotplate or the glass ceramiccooking zone that heats upbut the pan base.

Cooking with induction offershuge advantages for profes-sional chefs:

2

Greater economics

To save energy inductionsystems are hard to beat.The EGO ProfiLine cookershave an efficiency factor ofmore than 90 percent. Afterall, neither the glass-ceramicnor the hotplate needs to bewarmed up.

For example with an outputof 5 KW, 5 litres of water can be brought to the boil inaround six minutes. An elec-trically-heated solid hotplatewould take more than twiceas much.

Another reason why induc-tion is so economical is thatyou do not need to keepheated cooking zones onstandby so you only useenergy when it is reallyrequired.

Greater security

An empty hotplate will beswitched off automaticallythanks to the integrated pandetectors of ProfiLine situ-ated beneath the glass-ceramic surface. When thepan is put back, the powersupply resumes. The systemeven recognises when panshave boiled dry.

Another reassuring feature is that induction greatlyreduces the danger of burns- with this technology, thecooking zone itself does notget heated.

Greater convenience

Induction makes cookingmuch simpler in so manyways. Cleaning the seamlesscooktop is just one example.Thanks to the low tempera-ture of the glass-ceramic surface spillages do not get a chance to burn-in. Andsince the cooking zonestores no heat, cooking reallydoes end when you switchoff the power.

Moreover, when you cookwith induction the tempera-ture around the cookerscarcely rises. Especially inprofessional kitchens withseveral cooktops, it makesthe atmosphere so muchmore pleasant to work in.

EGO ProfiLine Induction Systems

EGO ProfiLine inductionsystems are extremelyversatile:They are available bothas mobile tabletop cook-ers and for installation inexisting cooker systemsand they can be used forcooking, simmering, fry-ing, keeping foods warm,flambéing or grilling.

As the heat does nothave to be first trans-ferred from the cooker tothe cookware but is gen-erated directly in the panbase, induction cookingzones have a very shortheating time - so you canprepare menus muchfaster and more efficient-ly.

Induction technology is total-ly different from conventionalcooking techniques.

1. Coil

2. Electromagnetic field

3. Main

4. Converter

5. Glass-ceramic surface

6. Heat is generated in the pan base

High-frequency alternatingcurrent flows through a cop-per wire coil beneath a glass-ceramic plate. When you place a pan (with a ferromag-netic base) on top, the base is heated by an electromag-netic field.

The built-in cookers fromE.G.O have been developedfor fixed installation in exist-ing ranges, worktops and thelike, but are neverthelesseasy to install and remove.We offer three different kindsof series and each model isavailable in many differentsorts of characteristical performances.

Therefore, you will always getexactly the right appliance.

EGO ProfiLine Built-in Cookers

Vario – the individual solution

The Vario induction cookerhas been developed to pro-vide a maximum of flexibilityfor installation. The genera-tor, inductor and control unitare separate components and they are installed indi-vidually, so that this modelcan be easily adapted to local conditions.

Therefore, it is extremely wellsuited for installation in cook-er systems or for cateringkitchen manufacturers.

The generator is radio andmains interference-sup-pressed and it has been VDE tested.

Output

The Vario has been designedfor one to four cookingzones. Thanks to its maxi-mum output of 14 KW for 4cooking zones (3.5 KW each)or 5 KW for a single cookingzone, it always provides suffi-cient energy for every appli-cation.

Control

As the Vario model only con-sists of the generator, thecontrol elements are sepa-rate components. For con-trolling the Vario, we offer acontrol knob as standard;other control options are alsoavailable on request.

Much leeway for installation

The Vario offers a high degreeof flexibility even duringinstallation. As the generator,inductors and control unit are separate components,they can be installed sepa-rately and thus can beadapted optimally to theexisting cooker surface.

Built-in cookers with a wok inductor

The EGO built-in cookers arealso available as a powerfulwok inductor for fast andeasy Oriental-style cooking inprofessional kitchens.

To prevent the inductor fromoverheating, the shape of thewok cuvette must always be precisely matched to thepan. Our appliances aredesigned for use with woksfrom Demeyre and Spring. If it is used with these prod-ucts, it offers an optimumperformance so that the wokinductor ensures an eventhermal transfer to the pan.

Upon request, we supply our induction hotplate with amatching wok.
