The pan should always remain in the center of the heating area, otherwise the bottom of the pan is heated unequally and the food inside the pan may burn. When heating oil or grease, constantly check the pan to prevent oil and grease from overheating and burning.

Cooking Process With Temperature Probe
You can use the temperature probe to set and control the operation of the unit when cooking sauces, soups, creams etc.
Temperature control
The temperature probe can be fixed with the holding device at the pan and put into the liquid, then connect the probe plug into the receptacle. You can now choose the required temperature for cooking or keeping warm by using the
/ keys. Pressing on the temperature key will show the actual temperature.
Due to the following characteristics the operator must be more attentive when using the induction cooker than would be required with other appliances.
The heat storage capacity of this system is very low. If the heating level is changed by pushing the / keys, the food is immediately exposed to a different temperature. Do not put empty pans on the glass ceramic cooking zone, first put grease or liquid into the pan and start cooking process after that. Empty pans and pots will heat up very quickly. Adjust carefully the heating level to the required cooking mode adjusting the temperature with/keys.
When finished with the temperature probe, disconnect it completely and stop the induction unit by pressing the “OFF/ON” key.
Hold Function
The hold function can be used as simple keeping warm function. The temperature control is done by the sensing element that is placed directly under the Ceran plate. You can choose the required temperature by pressing on / keys.
