ABOUT THE INDUCTION HOB
The induction hob provides the most energy efficient
hob technology available.
The induction system provides superior heat up
and cool down times for pans – you get fast, precise,
repeatable power control.
As induction only heats up the pan, there is no lost
heat from the cooking process, which in turn, limits
the heat generated in the kitchen.
Auto Power Tuning
Induction hobs have a unique power tuning system
that automatically tunes the power to the size of the
pan base this ensures energy isn’t wasted.
Touch Controls
The touch controls for your induction have been
designed to provide you with finger touch control of
your hob, providing accurate and repeatable power
settings for cooking and an easy clean surface that can
be easily wiped over.
Each cook zone displays it’s individual power setting.
Using the Touch Controls
To select a cook zone or the timer, simply touch the
graphic slider, using the flat of your finger, not the tip,
The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to
apply any pressure.
Once you have powered on the induction hob, you
have 10 seconds to set the power or use the timer.
If the red displays disappear, simply press the power
button again.
Always ensure the control area is clean, dry and free
from of any objects (e.g. utensils, tea towels and
cloths). Spillages and water may make the controls
difficult to operate.
Power Boost
The power boost is a function that can be used to
temporally boost the normal maximum power for a
cook zone by borrowing the available power from a
“paired zone”.
All the cook zones have this function.
Pan detection
When a zone has been activated but no pan has been
placed on the cook zone, the zone will recognise that
there is no pan in position. It also means the hob
only uses power when a suitable pan is placed on the
zone. This reduces the energy used during the cooking
process, i.e. when you take your pan off the zone
the hob automatically reduces the power, and only
switches back on when you replace the pan.

Note If the symbol does not disappear
when a pan is placed on the zone it
indicates that the pan is not suitable for
induction cooking.
Note:
This means the hob only uses power when a suitable
pan is placed on the zone, this reduces the energy used
during the cooking process, i.e. when you take your
pan off the zone the hob automatically reduces the
power, and only switches back on when you replace
the pan.
6 WARNING: Ensure you switch off the
appropriate cook zone individually or
by the central on/off key when you have
finished cooking, do not rely upon the
automatic pan detection system as your
means of switching “off” the appliance.
6 The appliance must never be
disconnected from the mains supply
during use, as this will seriously affect
the safety and performance, particularly
in relation to surface temperatures
becoming hot and gas operated parts
not working efficiently. The cooling fan
(if fitted) is designed to run on after the
control knob has been switched off.
