IH Cooking Mechanism	English
IH (Induction Heating) refers to	Eddy current
electromagnetic induction heating.
When electricity flows in the magnetic	Top plate
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 temperature by quickly detecting the temperature on the base of the cookware. This is suitable for the following cooking

	Mode
	Cooking Mode
■■ Pan Frying Mode
■	Frying Mode

■Mode

■Frying Mode

CAUTION

not use oil preheated by other appliances. Genius Sensor will work efficiently and the oil could ignite.

Energy Saving 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 the right size of pan for the diameter of the cooking zone. 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.

■■ 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 cooking zone. Alternatively, a pan with a divider can be used.

Cooking Zones

Flex Cooking Zone

The flex cooking zone consists of several independently-controlled inductors. When cookware is detected, only sections that are in contact with the cookware will be activated, all others will remain switched off.

To ensure that the cookware is detected and heat is distributed evenly, centre the cookware as shown below:

Pans with a diameter less than 13 cm

For smaller pans, place the cookware in one of the four positions shown.

Pans with a diameter of 13 cm or more

For larger pans, place the cookware in one of the three positions shown.

Larger cookware

Place it at the top or bottom edge of the flex cooking zone.

Two independent cooking zones

The front and rear areas of a flex cooking zone can be used independently of each other by selecting the necessary power for each one.

Do not place the cookware in an off-centre position. The sensor may not function properly and could cause a fire.

WARNING

Failure to follow these instructions may cause serious injury.
