The centre area, C, runs independently regardless of
the use of other cooking areas.
This means when using area A on power boost and
then switching area B to power boost also, area A will
have its power slightly reduced. The last one of the
pair switched to power boost takes priority. Areas D
and E work in the same way.
This is a built in safety device.
The power boost function can be de-activated by
turning the control knob to a lower setting.

U - Pan Recognition
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,
there will be no heat generated. The symbol ‘
U
’
will
appear on the hob control display; this is called the
“pan-missing symbol”. Simply place a pan of the
correct size on the cooking area and the ‘
U
’
symbol
will disappear and cooking can begin. After 10 min
without detecting any pan, the cooking zone switches
off automatically and can only be switched on again
after the knob has been returned to the zero setting.

1) Use only pans that are suitable for Induction
hobs. We recommend stainless steel, enamelled
steel or cast iron pans with enamelled bases.
2) Pots and pans should have thick, smooth, flat
bottoms. This ensures that cooking is quick and
energy efficient.
Never use a round bottomed wok even with a
stand.
3) 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 (such as lime specks).
If the cookware is too small for the cooking
area, it will not work (Refer to pan Recognition
section)
. Using a lid will help the contents boil more
quickly.
A - Automatic Heat-up
This function is available on all of the cooking areas.
It allows you to place a pan on the hob, select the
automatic heat-up function A and then the power
level of your choice (1 to 9). The pan is then heated
at 100% for the time specified for that power level
(see table below) and is then reduced to the power
you have selected.
For example: Select Automatic Heat Up and then
level 4, the hob will heat at 100% for 2 minutes 56
seconds and then reduce to power level 4.
This could be used for bringing a large pan of water
to the boil in readiness for cooking pasta.
The function is selected by turning the control knob
momentarily anti-clockwise until the symbol “A” is
shown on the hob control display. Once the “A” is
displayed, turn the control knob to the level of your
choice. (See table below)
When the Automatic Heat up function is activated,
the hob control display will alternately flash between
the “A” setting and the chosen power level.
Once the automatic heat up time has ended the hob
control display will stop flashing and will display the
chosen power level.
The Automatic Heat up function can be stopped by
either:
*Turning the control knob back to the “0” power
setting.
Or
*Turning the control knob to the “9” or “P” power
setting.
For your guidance the table below shows the time
available at 100% power depending on the power
level selected in the Automatic mode.
