INDUCTION
The CSA19ID’s 90cm ceramic cooktop has five induction
cooking zones. The heat for cooking is generated in the base of
the cooking utensil and not generated by a high-wattage element
below the ceramic cooktop surface. There is neither heat nor
time lost in heating a medium such as the element itself and the
ceramic surface. This energy (heat) creation is direct and fast.
An induction ceramic cooktop is extremely energy, time and cost
efficient.
In each induction cooking zone there is an induction coil just
below the ceramic surface. This induction coil produces an
electro-magnetic field when electrical power is supplied to the
cooktop and the particular zone is selected. With the placement
of a magnetised utensil onto the induction zone, heat is created
instantly in the base of the utensil. This instant and highly-
controllable heat cooks the food. Importantly, if the utensil is
removed from the induction zone, the electromagnetic energy
(heat) is instantly stopped. There is no waste of electricity.
PLEASE NOTE: magnetised utensils with steel, steel mesh and
cast-iron bases are required for induction cooktops, although
not all magnetised utensils are suitable. When purchasing
utensils, always check the label for ‘suitable for induction’.
Advantageously, induction utensils can be used on gas, ceramic
and solid electric plate cooktops. However, what is suitable
for these latter cooktop versions is not necessarily suitable for
induction cooktops.
PAN RECOGNITION
Each induction cooking zone is distinguished by two concentric
circles. The inner circle indicates the recommended minimum
diameter of a specific utensil base. Anything less will not be
recognised by the induction coil and no power is supplied.
Utensil bases larger than the inner circle are recognised and the
appropriate power requirement is adjusted automatically.
SMEG THERMOSEAL
Unique to Smeg is the fully sealed non-venting oven. This
sealing ensures large capacity loading, and more consistent
temperatures.
CLEANER COOKING
Since the oven cavity is denied a vented air supply, there is
reduced splatter and oxidising (‘burning-on’) of food particles
and fluids onto interior surfaces and oven furniture.
SELF SUFFICIENCY
The thermoseal ensures cooking does not require the addition of
fluids (fats, oils) to maintain a moist cooking environment. Nor
does the oven require attention — that is, turning basting or
repositioning while fan grilling, roasting or baking.
FULLY AUTOMATIC
The oven can be preprogrammed to start and finish cooking. It
is also semi automatic in that the cooking is started manually
and then programmed to finish at a set time. There is also the
‘minute minder’, variable up to 60 minutes. This simply counts
down to an audible signal with volume variability — a reminder
call to return to the oven for, perhaps, a cooking adjustment.
these timing applications help ensure perfect cooking results and,
importantly, peace of mind.
CATALYTIC WALL LINERS
These panels are standard fitted accessories. The set of three is
fitted over the side and rear walls. They absorb airborne grease/
oil/food particles throughout the cooking process to eventually
carbonise this organic waste. Maintenance is then made even
easier.
REMOVABLE ROOF LINER
Also uniquely Smeg is the removable, vitreously-enamelled roof
liner over the grill elements. This is normally the most inaccessible
and difficult area of an oven to clean. Now, simply slide this liner
out for easy cleaning.
REMOVABLE DOOR
Easily removed, this robust door allows wipe-over maintenance
away from the oven. When removed, more ergonomic access to
the oven cavity is possible for easy cleaning.
HEAT ACCELERATOR
Induction cooking already offers extremely fast cooking. The
CSA19ID also offers heat acceleration within each zone. Simply
select ‘A’ on any of the five control knobs, then the heat level for
even more concentrated speed to the respective zone(s).
POWER BOOST
Each zone is capable of power boosting its wattage beyond its
nominal power rating. Both front zones and the centre zone can
all operate on their maximum power boost wattage — that is,
8200 watts simultaneously. The two rear zones, if selected at the
same time as the other three zones are on power boost, will forfeit
wattage to the two power-boosted front zones. Similarly, the
two rear zones, when power boosted, will ‘take’ power from the
two front zones.
Maximising (power boosting) a zone delivers very fast and efficient
high temperatures for initial heat establishment for boiling pastas,
rice and vegetables. After ten minutes on power boost, any
selected zone will automatically revert to power level 9.
