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 electro- magnetic 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. PLEASE NOTE: magnetised utensils with steel, steel mesh and cast- iron bases are required for induction cooktops, although not all magnetised utensils are suitable. When purchasing utensils, always check the label for ‘suitable for induction’. Induction utensils can be 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 is when the cooktop sits into a precut cavity with the 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. SIHP264S smeg 60cm induction cooktop, four zones 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).
