Using an induction hob
At the beginning you will be surprised by the
speed of the hob. Bringing to the boil at a
higher setting is especially fast. In order to
prevent the pan boiling over or boiling dry it is
best that you should remain near the pan.
Switch the hob to the hightest power (setting
12) only if you want to bring water to the boil.
Setting 12 is too high to heat butter or milk and
far too high for defrosting.
To learn the technique consult the cooking
tables on pages 20 to 21.
Settings and powers
The power can be set from 50 W to 2,8 kW.
setting 1 50W
setting 6 500W
setting 10 1,4 kW
setting 12 2,8 kW
Setting 11 is for grilling. Setting 11 is suitable
for frying meat. This would be far too fast at
setting 12, the milk based ingredients in the
margarine would burn before the margarine
melts.
The ceramic hob is scratch resistant, but
■ do not use the cooking surface as a cutting
board;
■ never slide pans across the cooking
surface. A grain of sand left behind could
cause a scratch that would be impossible
to remove. Lift up pans if you want to move
them.
During induction cooking you may hear a
rattling sound in the bottom of the pan. This
will damage neither the pan nor the hob. This
sound is caused by the high power of the
cooking zone acting on the bottom of the pan.
You can prevent the rattling sound by
selecting a lower setting.
A tip
: slide the bottom of the pan across a
damp cloth, before you put the pan on the
cooking surface. This will prevent grains of
sand or the like being transferred to the hob
surface.
Aluminium foil should never be used as a
container for the preparation of dishes (for
example aluminium deep freeze containers).
Aluminium foil will melt and stick to your hob
and can never be removed.
