smeg 60cm induction cooktop, four zones
The SIHP264S 60cm ceramic cooktop has four induction cooking
zones. The heat for cooking is generated in the base of the cooking
utensil and not generated by a high-wattage element below the
ceramic cooktop surface. There is neither heat nor time lost in
heating a medium such as the element itself and then the ceramic
surface. This energy (heat) creation is direct and fast. An induction
ceramic cooktop is extremely energy, time and cost efficient.
In each induction cooking zone there is an induction coil just below
the ceramic surface. This induction coil produces an electromagnetic field when electrical power is supplied to the cooktop and
the particular zone is selected. With the placement of a magnetised
utensil onto the induction zone, heat is created instantly in the base
of the utensil. This instant and highly-controllable heat cooks the
food. When the utensil is removed from the induction zone, the
electromagnetic energy (heat) is instantly stopped. There is no waste
of electricity.

BOOST FUNCTION
Provides an additional surge of power for
even more intense heat and is ideal for
heating large quantities of water rapidly
(eg for cooking pasta). The temperature
will revert to power level 9 when complete
(extra power will last for 8–10 minutes if not
stopped beforehand).
PLEASE NOTE: magnetised utensils with steel, steel mesh and castiron bases are required for induction cooktops, although not all
magnetised utensils are suitable. When purchasing utensils, always
check the label for ‘
used on gas, ceramic and solid electric plate cooktops. However,
what is suitable for these latter cooktop versions is not necessarily
suitable for induction cooktops.
PAN RECOGNITION
Each induction cooking zone is delineated by a cross. The zone’s
horizontal crossbar is the maximum recommended diameter of the
cooking utensil’s base, with the vertical crossbar being the minimum
diameter. Only the base area of the utensil is recognised by the
electromagnetic field within the cooking zone. There is no wastage
of power since the zone or part only of the zone recognises only the
contact area of the base of the utensil.
INSTALLATION
Topmounting
entire cooktop’s surface sitting above the surrounding benchtop
surface.
SAFETY
A utensil boiling over or cooking dry automatically switches off •
the respective induction zone(s).
Once the zone’s surface reaches 60ºC, an illuminated ‘H’ •
appears next to the zone’s touch control.
Cooling fans temper the air within the carcase to diminish over-•
heating of the electronic controls and electromagnetic coils.
