OPERATION OF THE INDUCTION HOB
The induction heating zone is marked with a circular dotted line with the symbol
‘IN’ at the centre.
Please ensure, regardless of pan type (stainless, enameled steel, cast iron, etc)
the pan base is smooth and flat to avoid the risk of scratching the glass. Never
slide the pan across the glass surface, lift the pan to avoid scratches.
We recommend pans with a base diameter of Ø135mm to Ø220mm for the
induction heating zone.
Glass, ceramic or earthenware pans, aluminium (unless they have a special
base), copper pans and some non-magnetic stainless steel pans are not suitable
for use on Induction hobs.
Using the Induction Hob
The induction heating zone on the hob is controlled separately using the rotary
control switch (Fig 2). An LED indicator illuminates when the induction hob is
activated and when the hob is hot during or after use.
Fig. 2 – Induction Hob Controls, (with Separate Gas Controls shown).
SHB981XX Series
Start Up: Upon initial connection to the mains electricity supply, the LED
illuminates briefly with ‘8’, then ‘0’, then goes blank. As a safety feature, if the
control knob is not in the '0' (Off) position on initial connection, the LED display
will go blank. The induction unit cannot be operated until the control is reset to ‘0’
and the LED will display ‘0’ if the control is moved to any other position.
To reset the unit, rotate the control anticlockwise to the '0' position, the LED
indicator then goes blank and the induction heater is ready for use.
The induction hob will accept a minimum pan size of Ø 100mm.
