INDUCTION COOKTOP
COOKING WITH INDUCTION
Underneath each cooking zone there is a coil called an
inductor. The inductor generates a variable magnetic field
using electric power. When a pan is placed inside this
magnetic field, the high frequency current radiates directly
on the bottom of the pan and produce the heat needed to
cook.
After use the display can show the symbol H if there is
residual heat. The symbol H go out when the temperature
drops to below about 140℉/60℃.
TURNING ON THE INDUCTION ELEMENT
The symbol above each knob indicates which element that
knob controls.
The operation power is regulated through the knob and is
shown by a display on the cooktop surface.
To turn on the heating zone, press in the control knob (Fig.
23 ) and turn it clockwise. Settings range from a minimum
of 1 to a maximum of 9.
USING SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
HEATING ACCELERATOR MODE
The Heating Accelerator mode allows each zone to be
operated at peak power for a time proportional to the
heating power selected.
•
Turn the knob anti-clockwise, select setting "A" and then
release. The letter A will appear on the display on the
cooktop area
•
After 3 seconds, you may select the heating setting of
your choice. Once a setting between 1 and 9 has been
selected, A and the chosen setting will flashing
sequence on the display.
While the heating accelerator is in operation, the heating
level can be increased at any time. The "full power" time will
be modified accordingly. If the power is reduced by turning
32
the knob anticlockwise, option "A" is automatically
deactivated.
POWER MODE
The power mode allows the user to operate each heating
zone continuously at the maximum power for a time of no
more than 10 minutes. This mode can be used to bring a
large amount of water to the boil in a hurry, or to turn up the
heat under meat.
•
Turn the knob clockwise and set heating level to 9, then
use the knob to set the "P" position and release it.
•
The symbol P will appear on the corresponding zone
display.
•
After
10
automatically to 9 and the P will disappear.
The power mode can be turned off at any time by reducing
the heating level. If a pan is removed from the cooking zone
while the power function is on, the function is switched off.
HOLDING MODE
The holding mode keeps the temperature of the bottoms of
pans at about 160℉/70℃. This allows foods to be heated
gently and kept hot with optimal energy consumption.
Holding mode can be kept in operation for up to 2 hours.
The holding mode is
symbol on the cooking zones.
BRIDGE MODE
The bridge mode allows to use the 2 right-side cooking
zones as a single cooking zone. Power Mode is not allowed
when the zones are operated in Bridge mode.
•
Rotate both knobs, rear right and front right, at the same
time in the "P" position and keep the knobs in that
position.
•
The
symbol will blink in the display, then return to the
Fig. 23
power level.
•
To control the bridge power level, use the knob 4 (front
right zone). If you turn knob 3 (rear right zone) the
display shows a horizontal segment and the bridge
function ends.
CHILD LOCK FUNCTION
When not in use, the cooktop area can be "locked out" to
prevent children from accidentally switching it on.
With the cooking zones off, turn the knobs of zones 1 and 2
to the left simultaneously until L appears on the power
display and then release the knobs.
To deactivate it, repeat the same procedure: the cooking
zone displays will stop displaying the L, indicating that the
cooking zone LOCK has been deactivated.
