BOOST
Use the Boost function to boil water or heat up large quantities of food quickly.
To prevent damage to the product, the cooking zones are separated into two groups, and you can only use the Boost function on one cooking zone in each group at once. As shown, you can use Boost on a cooking zone in group a and a cooking zone in group b at the same time. If the power range is exceeded by selecting the Boost function, a power management function automatically reduces the heat setting of the cooking zone. If you try to use Boost on two cooking zones in the same group, the power level is automatically set to 9 rather than Boost.
For safety, after 6 minutes the Boost setting will automatically revert to either power level 9 or the previously set power level.
- Turning Boost On
Place the cookware on a cooking zone. Activate the Power Levels popup and press the BOOST key.
A | B |
Never use the Boost mode to preheat empty cookware or to heat oil, butter or lard. The cookware may be damaged and the fat or grease may catch fire if overheated.
Under certain conditions, the Boost function will turn off automatically to protect electronic elements inside the cooktop.
This can occur if the product is used for long periods, when frying, or if cookware is lifted or moved in the Boost mode.
