Table 2.3
Low temperature/simmer setting,
L1/L2/L3
This function should only be used when heating
from cold.
Each cooking area is equipped with 3 low temperature
settings:
• L1 will maintain a temperature of about 108 °F (42 °C) –
ideal for gently melting butter or chocolate.
• L2 will maintain a temperature of about 158 °F (70 °C) –
ideal for keeping food warm once it is cooked.
• L3 will maintain a temperature of about 201.2 °F (94 °C) –
ideal for simmering (bring the pan to the boil and then
select L3 to keep soups, sauces, stews, etc at an optimal
simmer).
The maximum time this setting can be used is 2 hours, after
which the cooktop will switch o automatically. To increase
the heat, just turn the control knob to the required level.
The maximum times for all other power levels are shown in
Table 2.3.
Power boost setting, P
All of the induction cooking zones have Power Boost
available, activated by turning the control knob clockwise
until [P ] is shown on the cooktop control display.
Power Boost allows additional power to be made available for
each of the cooking zones. This is useful to bring a large pan
of water to the boil quickly.
The Power Boost function operates for a maximum
of 10minutes on each zone, after which the power is
automatically reduced to setting 9.
When using the Power Boost function, the cooking zones are
linked.
Fig. 2.9 shows the cooktop layout. Zones A and B are linked
together as are zones D and E.
This means that when using zone A on Power Boost and then
switching zone B to Power Boost, the power to zone A will
reduce slightly. The last zone switched to Power Boost always
takes priority. Zones D and E work in the same way. Zone C is
not shared.
This is a built in safety device.
Deactivate the Power Boost function by turning the control
knob to a lower setting.
