The very best pans have bases that are very slightly curved
up when cold (Fig. 2-3). If you hold a ruler across the bottom
you will see a small gap in the middle. When they heat up the
metal expands and lies flat on the cooking surface.
Make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry to prevent
any residue burning onto the hob panel. This also helps
prevent scratches and deposits.
Take care when placing hot lids onto the hob
n
surface. Lids that have been covering boiling or
steaming foods can 'stick' to the ceramic glass.
Should this occur, DO NOT attempt to lift the lid
off the hotplate: this may damage the hob surface.
Instead, carefully slide the lid to the edge of the hob
surface and remove.
Always use pans that are the same size as (or slightly larger
than) the areas marked on the hob. Using a lid will help the
contents boil more quickly.
Always take care before touching the surface, even
n
when the hob is turned off. It may be hotter than you
think!
The induction hob comprises of five cooking zones
containing induction elements with different ratings and
diameters (Fig. 2-4) each with a pan detector and residual
heat indicator, and a hob control display.
The hob control display (Fig. 2-5) informs you of the
following induction hob functions:
Pan detector
H
Residual heat indicator
Child lock
L1/L2/L3 Low temperature setting
Power boost setting
P
Pan Detector,
IMPORTANT: After use, switch off the hob element by its
control and DO NOT RELY on the 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". Place a pan
of the correct size on the cooking area and the [ ] symbol will
disappear and cooking can begin. After 10 minutes without
detecting a pan the cooking zone will switch off automatically.
Table 2.1 shows the minimum pan sizes recommended for
each cooking zone.
Note: Using pans with a base diameter smaller than those
recommended will result in a power reduction.
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.
