-
Always place your cookware such that its center
is aligned with the center of the burner.
-
Avoid hitting the glass with cookware or any
hard objects . The glass surface is highly
resistant but not unbreakable.
-
Pick-up your cookware when moving them
around. Do not slide them and avoid excessive
rubbing of the top, as this leaves scratches and
erases the markings .
-
Avoid using cookware with rough or deformed
bottoms.
-
Avoid leaving any metal cooking accessories,
knives and forks, or metal objects on the a hot
cooktop surface. They may get hot if left close to
any heating element in use.
Do not connect any appliances to the plugs above or near to the induction
cooktop; connection cable insulation can melt if in contact with heat, and this
may result in an injury and property damage.
Your cooktop must never be used as a storage space or surface for piling up
of any material.
-
Avoid storing flammable products in the cabi-
nets under your cooktop.
-
Never leave empty cookware on an induction
heating element, even when the element is
turned OFF.
-
Only use maximum power for boiling and frying.
-
Never try heating up a closed can.
-
Avoid pre-heating your non-stick pans (e.g. with
teflon coating) at maximum heat.
-
Avoid storing solid and heavy items in the cabi-
nets above your cooktop. They may unintentio-
nally drop and damage the glass.
Under the pretense that only one zone is used
with an adequate cookware covering the whole
surface of the burner, and that power on the zone
is adjusted to the maximum (‘12’):
-
the maximum power output of 9” heating zone is
2.8 kW;
-
the maximum power output of 6 1/2” heating
zone is 2.0 kW.
If only one burner is employed, it can be utilized at
its maximum power, but as soon as the other
burner is turned on, the controls adjust the power
on both burners automatically for ‘power
sharing’. This power sharing is administered by
the unit’s microprocessors, which will alternate
the power between the two elements. There are
two factors affecting improved power sharing on
your cooktops.
4.6 POWER SHARING
The first is the application of an improved
technology for power sharing - not using
common relays, but rather semiconductors
which makes power sharing quicker, thus more
efficient. The second factor is that, when in a
power-sharing mode, two zones can share full,
3.6 kW, power output of the inverter.
Note that the controls will not allow both zones
to operate at full power, and the power will be
adjusted automatically - e.g. if the power on one
zone is adjusted to a maximum, and the other
zone is turned on and power level also adjusted
to its maximum, the power level on the first zone
will automatically become lower. This change
will be visible on digital displays. The controls
are set in such a manner that the last instruction
(command) given to an element is always a
priority.
4.7 TO DO OR NOT TO DO
