Automatic rapid heating
All cooking zones are fitted with a special mechanism that sets the cooking power to maximum at the
start of the cooking process, regardless of the actual power setting. After a while, the cooking zone
power switches back to the initially set level (1 to 8).
The auto rapid heating function is suitablefor dishes that have to be heated up at maximum power
first, and then cooked for a longer period of time.
The auto rapid heating function is not suitablefor braising, frying or sautéing, food that requires
frequent turning, basting, or mixing, or food that has to boil for a longer period of time in a pressure
cooker.
The cooking zone should be off ( "0" . should appear on the display
unit). Press the relevant key and hold it for 3 seconds until you hear
a short beep. "A" and "9" .will flash alternately on the display. Decrease
the power to the level you wish to cook with after the automatic rapid
heating. "A" and selected power level will alternate on the power level
display. When the automatic rapid heating time expires, the cooking zone
automatically switches to the selected level which will then be
continuously displayed.
