Residual heat indicator
Warning! Risk of burns from residu-
al heat. After being switched off, the
cooking zones need some time to
cool down. Look at the residual heat
indicator h.
Residual heat can be used for melt-
ing and keeping food warm.
The induction cooking zones create
the heat required for cooking directly in
the base of the cookware. The glass ce-
ramic is merely heated by the residual
heat of the cookware.
The cooling fan switches itself on and
off depending upon the temperature of
the electronics.

Using the automatic warm-up function
All cooking zones are equipped with an
automatic warm-up function. The auto-
matic warm-up function sets the cook-
ing zone to the highest setting for a
certain period of time and then automat-
ically switches back to the cooking set-
ting that was originally set.
If during the automatic warm up a
higher heat setting is selected, e.g.
from Áto Ã, the automatic warm
up is adjusted.
The length of time that the automatic
warm up function operates depends on
the heat setting selected.

operating the appliance electrolux 13
Switching the power function on and off
The power function makes more
power available to the induction cooking
zones, e.g. to bring a large quantity of
water to the boil quickly.
The power function is activated for
10 minutes. After that the induction
cooking zone automatically switches
back to heat setting 9.
If the power function has ended, the
cooking zones automatically switch
back to the heat setting set previ-
ously.
Power Management
The cooking zones of the cooking sur-
face have a maximum power available
to them.
So that the Power function can always
be carried out, Power Management may
reduce the power of the other cooking
zone.
Example: heat setting 9 is selected on a
cooking zone. The Power function is
switched on for the other cooking zone.
The Power function is performed, but
heat setting 9 on one cooking zone and
Power function on the other cooking
zone exceeds the maximum output for
both. Therefore Power Management re-
duces the first cooking zone that was
switched on from 9 to 7, for example,
and the display for this cooking zone al-
ternates between 9 and 7 and then re-
mains on the current maximum of 7.
(Whether the display alternates between
9 and 7 or 9 and 6 or other values, de-
pends on the appliance type and the
size of the cooking zone.)

Tips on Cooking and Frying
Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific
knowledge, intensive browning of
food, especially in products con-
taining starch, can constitute a
health risk due to acrylamides.
Therefore we recommend cooking
at the lowest possible temperatures
and not browning foods too much.
Cookware for induction cooking zones
Cookware material

Cookware is suitable for induction cook-
ing, if …
•... a little water on an induction cook-
ing zone set to heat setting 9 is heat-
ed within a short time.
•... a magnet sticks to the bottom of
the cookware.
Certain cookware can make noises
when being used on induction cook-
ing zones. These noises are not a
fault in the appliance and do not af-
fect operation in any way.
Bottom of the cookware
The bottom of the cookware should be
as thick and flat as possible.
