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.

Take care when placing hot lids onto the hob
surface. Lids that have been covering boiling or
steaming foods can ‘stick’ to the ceramic glass.
Should this occur, DO NOT attempt to lift the lid
off the hotplate: this may damage the hob surface.
Instead, slide the lid to the edge of the hob surface
and remove.

Always take care before touching the surface, even
when the hob is turned off. It may be hotter than you
think!
The layout of the rotary controls for the operation of the
induction hob is shown in
Fig.2.4
.
The induction hob comprises of five cooking zones
containing induction elements with different ratings and
diameters
(Fig.2.5)
each with a pan detector and residual
heat indicator, and a hob control display.
The hob control display
(Fig.2.6)
informs you of the following
induction hob functions:
Pan detector

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.
