Never use a round-bottomed wok, even with a stand.
The very best pans have bases that are very slightly curved
up when cold (
Fig. 2.3
). If you hold a ruler across the bottom
you will see a small gap in the middle. When they heat up the
metal expands and lies flat on the cooking surface.
Make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry to prevent
any residue burning onto the hob panel. This also helps
prevent scratches and deposits.
Always use pans that are the same size as (or slightly larger
than) the areas marked on the hob. Using a lid will help the
contents boil more quickly.

Always take care before touching the surface, even
when the hob is turned off. It may be hotter than you
think!
The induction hob comprises of five cooking zones (
Fig. 2.4
)
containing induction elements with different ratings and
diameters each with a pan detector and residual heat
indicator, and a hob control display.
The hob control display (
Fig. 2.5
) informs you of the following
induction hob functions:
•
Pan Detector
•
H
Residual Heat Indicator
•
A
Automatic Heat-up
•
Child Lock
•
L1/L2
Low Temperature Setting
•
P
Power Boost Setting
Pan detector,

IMPORTANT: After use, switch off the hob element
by its control and DO NOT RELY on the pan detector.
If a cooking area is switched on and there is no pan in place
or if the pan is too small for the cooking area, then no heat
will be generated. The symbol [ ] will appear on the hob
control display; this is the “pan-missing symbol”. Place a pan
of the correct size on the cooking area and the [ ] symbol
will disappear and cooking can begin. After 10 minutes
without detecting a pan the cooking zone will switch off
automatically.
Table 2.1
shows the minimum pan sizes recommended for
each cooking zone.
Note:
Using pans with a base diameter smaller than those
recommended will result in a power reduction.
Residual heat indicator,
H
After use, a cooking zone will remain hot for a while as heat
dissipates. When a cooking zone is switched off the residual
heat indicator symbol [
H
], will appear in the display. This
shows that the cooking zone temperature is above 60 °C and
may still cause burns. Once the temperature has dropped to
below 60 °C the [
H
] will go out.
