The very best pans have bases that are very slightly curved
up when cold (Fig. 2.4). 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 at on the cooking surface.
Make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry to prevent
any residue burning onto the cooktop panel. This also helps
prevent scratches and deposits.
Always use pans that are the same size as the areas marked
on the cooktop. Using a lid will help the contents boil more
quickly.
Take care when placing hot lids onto the cooktop
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 o
the hotplate: this may damage the cooktop surface.
Instead, slide the lid to the edge of the cooktop
surface and remove.
Always take care before touching the surface, even
when the cooktop is turned o. It may be hotter than
you think!
Cooktop control indications &
warnings
The induction cooktop comprises of ve cooking zones
containing induction elements with dierent ratings and
diameters (Fig. 2.5) each with a pan detector and residual
heat indicator, and a cooktop control display.
The cooktop control display (Fig. 2.6) informs you of the
following induction cooktop functions:
• Pan Detector
• H Residual Heat Indicator
• A Automatic Heat-up
• L Child Lock
• L1/L2 Low Temperature/Simmer Setting
• P Power Boost Setting
Pan Detector,
IMPORTANT: After use, switch o the cooktop
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 cooktop
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 o
automatically.
Table 2.1 shows the minimum pan sizes recommended for
each cooking zone.
