Automatic pre-heat
This feature is separately available for
each burner, allowing it to reach the
desired cooking temperature quickly
without manual intervention. If the
automatic pre-heat function is selected,
the burner will heat up using its
maximum power for a pre-set time (see
table) before automatically switching to
the selected cooking temperature.
A dot will appear behind the power
setting display when this feature is
active.
Length of pre-heating
The length of the pre-heat cycle
depends upon the cooking power that
is set. When using Settings 1 - 5, food
is usually placed in the pot before
setting it on the cooktop. To
compensate for the added mass of the
food, the preheat time is increased as
the cooking power is increased.
Settings 6 - 8 are generally used for
frying or roasting where the pan needs
to be brought up to temperature before
the food is introduced. For this reason
the pre-heat times are shorter.
