    POWERBOOST Using PowerBoost This feature enables you to sear meat or bring liquid to boil very quickly. When a cooking zone is set for PowerBoost, it uses more than 100% of the power of that particular cooking zone, resulting in a boost of intense heat. PowerBoost heats food and liquids very quickly.
  • Page 24 POWERBOOST Note: You can set two (CI304PTX) or three (CI365PTX) cooking zones for PowerBoost, as long as one is not behind the other. The following are zones that can operate in powerboost mode simultaneously without reduced power level. Other combination not shown below will result in reduced power.

  • Page 29: Cooking Guidelines

    COOKING GUIDELINES Take care when frying: oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using PowerBoost. At extremely high termperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk. Cooking tips When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting. Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
