Power Levels - ETNA AKI480ZT Mode D'emploi

USE
Be careful with enamelled sheet-steel pans!
The enamel may chip (the enamel comes loose from the steel), if you switch the hob
on at a high level when the pan is (too) dry; the base of the pan may warp - due, for
example, to overheating or to the use of too high a power level.
• Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded base can interfere with
the operation of the overheating protection, so that the appliance becomes too hot.
This may lead to the glass surface cracking and the pan base melting. Damage arising
from the use of unsuitable pans or from boiling dry is excluded from the guarantee.
Minimum pan diameter
• The diameter of the bottom of the pan must be at least 12 cm (11 cm for the ø 16 cm
cooking zone). You will achieve the best results by using a pan with the same diameter as
the zone. If a pan is too small, the zone will not work.
Pressure cookers
• Induction cooking is very suitable for cooking in pressure cookers. The cooking zone reacts
very quickly, and so the pressure cooker is quickly up to pressure. As soon as you switch
a cooking zone off, the cooking process stops immediately.
Cooking power levels
The cooking zones have 9 levels and a boost level (depending on the zone).
• Tap the cooking zone symbol to select a cooking zone.
• Use the plus (+) or the minus (-) key to choose the desired power level.
Tapping the plus (+) key starts the cooking at level '1'.
▷
▷ Tapping the minus (-) key starts the cooking at level '9'.
▷ Tapping the minus (-) key and afterwards the plus (+) key starts the cooking at Boost
level.
▷ The cooking zone starts at the selected power level.
Boost function
• You can use the 'boost' function to cook at the highest power level during a short period of
time (max.5 minutes). After the maximum boost time the power will be reduced to setting 9.
