Induction Zone: After use, switch off the hob element by its control and do not rely on the pan detector. During cooking, food naturally produces steam, which is vented away to prevent excessive build-up within the ovens. As steam can condense to water droplets on the cooler outer trim of the oven, it may be necessary during cooking to wipe away any moisture with a soft cloth. -

Page 14: Induction Zone
INDUCTION ZONE Induction cooking is a safe, efficient and economical cooking method. It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the pan, rather than traditional electric hob technologies that indirectly heat though a glass surface or metal plate. As a result of the induction technology, the glass surface only heats up due to heat transfer from the pan. - Page 15 Some aluminium pans available have a magnetic core inserted in the base which will make them suitable. Esse do not recommend these pans as they have been known to cause issues with induction hobs. Pans should have a thick flat base. Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base Fig.
- Page 16 Always lift pans off the induction hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass. Fig. 12 Using your Induction Hob he induction hob has 3 rings or burners. Two are Ø145mm with 1.6kW elements and one Ø210mm ring or burner with a 2kW element. Fig.
- Page 17 The induction is controlled via User Interface (UI) shown in Fig 5. The set power level, any error codes and any selected functions are displayed on the induction status display, shown Fig 5. Each induction zone has 9 power settings, a timed full power boost setting (P) and a timer function.
- Page 18 User interface initial calibration. The User Interface has implemented an initial keyboard calibration focused to adapt the sensibility of the keys, to the final mechanical, environmental and user conditions.
