The diameter of the bases of the saucepans and pots should match the size of the hotplate. Note: Ovenware manufacturers often give the diameter of the top of the saucepan. A larger, less full saucepan requires more energy. Using a lid Saucepans and pots should always be covered with a suitable lid. Cook with small quantities of water This saves energy and helps vegetables to retain vitamins and minerals. Switch down to a lower heat setting in good time. Cooking with small quantities of water Lowering the heat setting Powerboost function Use this function to heat up the contents of the pan faster than if you use the maximum power level (j). This function allows you to increase the maximum power level of the hotplate in use. Powerboost function limitations All the induction hotplates (1 and 4) have a temperature control. (See illustration) The Powerboost function will always be available whenthe other induction hotplate is not switched on. For example, if you want to activate this function in hotplate 1, number should be switched off, and vice versa. If the zone referred to is not switched off, the letter x and the power level j in the hotplate indicator will flash; it will return to the maximum power level setting (j). 18 This is how to activate it Carry out the following steps: 1. When it is in this position press the + symbol for the zone concerned. You have activated the function. This is how to deactivate it Carry out the following steps: 1. In certain circumstances, the Powerboost func tion may be deactivated automatically to protect the internal electronic components of the hob. Automatic time limiter If a hotplate is in constant use for a long time without the setting being changed, the automatic time limiter will be activated. [. . . ] The cooking hob is too hot and has turned off. F4 F8 The cooking zone has been working at a high power and continuously for too long. 23 Visual indication o1 Fault The power voltage is too low. Measure Deactivate the hob. Induction heating technology is based on the vibration resistance of certain metals when subjected to high frequency waves. In some circumstances, these vibrations can cause a certain degree of noise, such as the following: This occurs when cooking at a high power. The cause of this is the amount of energy which is transmitted from the hob to the cookware. [. . . ]
