Pressure cookers
Induction cooking is very suitable for cooking in pressure cookers. The cooking zone reacts very
quickly, and so the pressure cooker is quickly up to pressure. As soon as you switch a cooking
zone Off, the cooking process stops immediately.
Power level setting
The power can be set to 9 different levels. The hob also has a ‘boost’ setting which is indicated
by a ‘P’ on the display. The table lists some examples of use for each level.
Level

Power distribution cooking zones
• Maximum hob power available is depending on the power connection of the appliance.
Consult chapter Installation ‘Setting the maximum total hob power‘.
• When the power limiter is set at <7.4 then the cooking zones influence each other.
The power is automatically distributed when these cooking zones are used at the same
time. Depending on the power connection they cannot set on a high-power level at the
same time.
▷
An acoustic signal and symbol ‘r’ on the display will indicate that the total power level
has been exceeded.
Pan detection
If the hob does not detect a (ferrous) pan after the cooking power has been set, the pan
detection symbol and the selected power setting will flash alternately in the display and the hob
will remain cold. If a (ferrous) pan is not placed on the cooking zone within 1 minute, the cooking
zone will automatically switch Off (see also chapter ‘Pans’).
