USER INSTRUCTIONS
contents are, in fact, heated by the pan. The pan rapidly reaches
the chosen temperature and quickly stops any cooking when
lifted away from the hob surface. It is this flexibility, speed and
control that many cooks find attractive.
Note:
You can only use pans that have a magnetic core. The
following are suitable for use with induction :
• Stainless steel
• Cast Iron
• Enamel on steel pans with non-stick interior
NOT Aluminium
To test whether your pan is suited to Induction, hold a fridge
magnet to the base of the pan; if the magnet sticks, it is
suitable for use on the Induction hob. Most modern pans are
marked to indicate whether they are suitable for induction
before purchasing.
5.2 ADVANTAGES
The speed of Induction compared to Gas or Radiant is
impressive. The example below shows on a 10 minute timescale
just how far ahead Induction really is:
Data compiled by E.G.O.
1. Energy Consumption is minimised. Only contact with a
suitable pan activates the magnetic current; a hugely efficient
way to use electric resources. The hob stops producing any
current when the pan is lifted and until it is returned.
2. Cool down of contents of a pan takes a fraction of the time f
or Radiant, Gas and other fuels.
3. The response to temperature control is swift and precise.
4. Only the area beneath the saucepan is heated - the rest of
the hob surface stays cool.
5. The Induction Burner automatically adjusts its power
depending on the size of the pan. The smaller the pan the
less energy used.
6. Soap and water are all it takes to clean.

6.1 TURNING ON THE HOB
Touch the On/Off Key.
The clock timer will show CL (Clock) and the display
for the two cooking zones will illuminate with a
dot flashing beside each of them to show that they are awaiting
a selection.
Each time a touch control has been activated the hob will give a
beep to confirm.
If a selection is not made within 20 seconds the hob will
automatically power off. The unit will beep when powering
down. See Fig. 6
6.2 CONTROLLING A COOKING ZONE
Turn on the hob by touching
Touch the display of the cooking zone.
Then touch the slider, for a high setting touch the right hand end
of the slider for a low setting touch the left hand end. With your
finger remaining in contract with he slider the set pint can be
