Fast Preheat feature
All heating elements are equipped with Fast Preheat circuits. This feature heats up
the element using the highest power and then switches back to the continuous
cooking setting that you have selected.
How long it will take the element to heat up will depend on the continuous cooking
setting that you have selected.
The Fast Preheat feature can only be activated in the first 30 seconds after the
cooktop has been turned on:
1. Select the continuous cooking setting you want to use for the element.
2. Touch FAST PREHEAT. The & display will appear. The Fast Preheat feature is
turned on.
The element will automatically switch to the continuous cooking level after the
Fast Preheat is finished. The & display will turn off.
After the Fast Preheat feature has been turned on, the continuous cooking setting
can still be changed for a period of 10 seconds.
Refer to the following table to see the foods for which Fast Preheat is suitable. The
smaller amount refers to the smaller heating elements, the larger amount refers to
the larger heating elements. The values stated in the table are guideline values.
