Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 3:
4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein:
the induction hob (100) further comprises the following: a rectifier (7), which is configured to generate the supply voltage (US) from a mains AC voltage (UN), and an intermediate circuit capacitor (8), which is configured to buffer the supply voltage (US),
wherein the method further comprises the following steps:
prior to step b), as the magnitude of the mains AC voltage (UN) declines, the intermediate circuit capacitor (8) is progressively discharged to a voltage which lies within a predefined voltage range about an instantaneous value of the mains AC voltage (UN), by actuating the inverter (1) appropriately, until such time as the mains AC voltage (UN) passes through a zero-crossing and/or the supply voltage (US) assumes a value below 10 V, and
the subsequent repetition of steps b) to d) occur as the value of the mains AC voltage (UN) increases.
