IH (Induction Heating) refers to

electromagnetic induction heating.

When electricity ows in the magnetic coils underneath the top plate, magnetic

lines of force are produced.

The magnetic lines of force pass through metallic cookware when an eddy current

is induced. The heat that is generated by

the electrical resistance of the cookware

is used for heating.

Genius Sensor Technology

Genius Sensor regulates the set temperatures by

quickly detecting the temperatures on the base of the cookware, which is suitable for the following cooking modes.

KY-B64CG model:

■ Autoboil Mode

■ Low Temperature Cooking Mode

■ Pan Frying Mode

Genius Sensor

■ Deep/Shallow Frying Mode

■ Pan Frying Mode

■ Deep/Shallow Frying Mode

KY-B64CA model:

■ Pan Frying Mode

■ Deep/Shallow Frying Mode

Energy-efcient Cooking Tips

■ Always place the correct lids on pans to keep the heat in.

■ Use the correct size of pan for the

amount of food you are cooking.

■ Use cookware with a solid, at base. Curved pan bases will increase energy consumption.

■ Use the right size of pan for the

diameter of the cooking zone. If too small energy will be wasted e.g. If the diameter of the pan is not the same

as the cooking zone it is preferable to

use a pan with a base that is larger in diameter than the cooking zone, otherwise the energy will be wasted.

■ Put just enough water in the pan to cover vegetables. This will save

energy.

■ Turn down the power level of the cooking zone once the cooking

temperature is reached; simmer food

rather than boiling it.

■ Use a steamer to cook vegetables,

that way you can layer a number of

vegetables on top of each other and

still use one ring, or use a pan with a

divider.
