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 at 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.
The induction hob comprises of ve cooking zones
containing induction elements with dierent ratings and
diameters (Fig. 2.4) each with a pan detector and residual
heat indicator, and a hob control display.
The hob control display (Fig. 2.5) informs you of the following
induction hob functions:
• Pan Detector
• H Residual Heat Indicator
• Child Lock
• L1/L2/L3 Low Temperature Setting
• P Power Boost Setting
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 o
automatically.
Table 2.1 shows the minimum pan sizes recommended for
each cooking zone.
NOTE: Using pans with a base diameter smaller than those
recommended will result in a power reduction.
