The SIHP40WG4 has one induction cooking zone — a 314mm
diameter concave specialist wok zone. 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 the ceramic surface. This energy (heat) creation is direct and
fast. An induction ceramic cooktop is extremely energy, time and cost
efficient.
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 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. Importantly, if 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
’. Advantageously, 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
Provided the utensil’s (wok) contact surface covers approximately sixty-
percent of the inner circle’s area, cooking will initiate. Anything less
will not be recognised by the induction coil and no power is supplied.
Utensil bases larger than the inner circle are recognised and the
appropriate power requirement is adjusted automatically.
FLUSHMOUNT
As an alternative to the traditional topmounting of a cookktop onto a
benchtop, consider flushmounting into a benchtop.
Topmounting is when the cooktop sits into a precut cavity with the
entire cooktop’s surface sitting a few millimetres above the surrounding
benchtop surface.
Flushmounting uses the same precut cavity but with a rebated edging
to allow the perimeter of the cooktop to ‘sink’ to a flush height with the
surrounding benchtop. This type of installation is applicable to stone
benches, such as marble and granite and the quartz resin benchtops.
POWER BOOST
The induction zone is selectable for power boosting its nominal
wattage. This power boosting effectively speeds heating-boiling time
by approximately twenty percent on an already very rapid time.
SAFETY
• the induction zone cooks no longer than factory programmed 90
minutes continuously;
• boilovers and boiling dry automatically switches off the cooktop;
• residual heat LEDs indicate any zone above 60ºC.
