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.
