Heat Settings
The exact setting will depend on several factors, including
your cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment
with the induction hob to find the settings that best suit you.
Table 2.1. is a guideline of the type of cooking can be used
per power level.
Pan Detector,
If a cooking area is switched on and there is no pan in place
or if the pan is too small for the cooking area, then no heat
will be generated. The symbol [ ] will appear on the hob
control display; this is the "pan-missing symbol". Placing a
pan of the correct size on the cooking area will cause the [ ]
symbol to disappear and cooking can begin. After 10 minutes
without detecting a pan the cooking zone will switch off
automatically.
Residual Heat Indicator, 'H'
After use, a cooking zone will remain hot for a while as heat
dissipates. When a cooking zone is switched off the residual
heat indicator symbol 'H' , will appear in the display. This shows
that the cooking zone temperature is above 60°C and may
still cause burns. Once the temperature has dropped to below
60°C the 'H' will go out.
