Improper use of the appliance can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage. [. . . ] Please be aware that the properties of the pan base can affect the eveness with which food heats up in the pan. Unless the pan manufacturer states that you can do so, do not use pans with very thin bases on this hob and never heat up empty pans as they could get damaged. This could also damage the appliance. Pan size The diameter of the pan base must be at least as big as the inner marking on the zone it is being used on. If the diameter of the pan is too small the induction heating will not work. Please note that the maximum diameter quoted by manufacturers often refers to the diameter of the top rim of the pot or pan. Tips on saving energy Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss. uncovered covered 16 Operation Function of the sensor switches This hob is equipped with electronic sensor switches. Make sure that only one sensor is touched at a time (except: when switching off a cooking zone), and keep the control area clean. The sensors may fail to react or they could mistake the article or any dirt for a finger tip contact, thereby activating a function or even leading to the hob switching itself off automatically (see the section on "Safety switch-off". ) Never place hot pans on the sensor switches. This can damage the electronics. Switching on The hob must be switched on before any of the zones can be used. If no further entry is made, the hob will switch itself off after a few seconds for safety reasons. To switch a cooking zone on: ^ Select a power setting between 1 and 9 by touching the - or + sensor. 17 Operation Settings The range of settings is the same for all cooking zones: Cooking process Melting butter, chocolate etc. Dissolving gelatine Preparing yoghurt Thickening sauces containing egg yolk and butter Warming small quantities of food/liquid Keeping warm food which sticks easily Cooking rice Warming liquid and semi-solid foods Thickening sauces, e. g. Hollandaise Making porridge Preparing omelettes, lightly fried eggs Steaming fruit Defrosting deep frozen food Steaming vegetables, fish Cooking dumplings, potatoes, pulses Pulse soups and broths Bringing to the boil and continued cooking of large quantities of food Gentle braising (without overheating the fat) of meat, fish, vegetables, fried eggs etc. Boiling large quantities of water Bringing to the boil Settings 1-2 1-3 2-4 3-5 5-6 7 7-8 9 These settings are guidelines only, based on approx. With deep pans, large quantities or without the lid on, a higher setting is needed. With smaller quantities select a lower setting. 18 Operation Auto heat-up When Auto heat-up has been activated, the cooking zone switches on automatically at the highest setting and then switches to the continued cooking setting which you have previously selected. The heat-up time depends on which continued cooking setting has been chosen (see chart). As the higher continued cooking settings are generally used for frying food, only a relatively short heat-up time is needed to heat up the pan initially. Taking a pan off the zone whilst Auto heat-up is in operation interrupts the Auto heat-up. Continued cooking setting 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Heat-up time in minutes and seconds (approx. ) 1 : 15 1 : 40 2 : 10 3 : 00 5 : 05 7 : 40 1 : 40 2 : 10 During the heat-up time the continued cooking setting can be increased using the + sensor. The continued cooking setting can, however, only be reduced using the sensor during the first few seconds after activating the Auto heat-up function. At the end of this time, reducing the continued cooking time will switch the Auto heat-up function off.
