Introduction

You have chosen an Pelgrim induction hob, an appliance that will completely
satisfy anyone who loves cooking.
Cooking on an induction hob is different from cooking on a traditional
appliance. Induction cooking makes use of a magnetic field to generate heat.
This means that you cannot use just any pan on it. The pans section on pages
118 and 119 gives more information about this.
Cooking on an induction hob has a number of advantages. It is easy, because
the hob reacts quickly and can also be set to a very low power level. Because,
moreover, it can also be set to a high power level, it can bring things to the boil
very quickly.
The hob is simple to clean; the top itself does not become very hot, because
the heat is generated in the pan. In the 'safety' section on pages 114 and 117,
you will find comprehensive information about the advantages of induction
cooking.
The appliance is equipped with synchro-start. If you have an extractor hood that
is also equipped with synchro-start, it will start up automatically when you use
the controls on the hob. The hob is also equipped with an electric zone for
keeping items hot. On this warming zone, food which is not going to be eaten
immediately can be kept warm. Food which is kept warm for longer than half an
hour, however, will lose some of its quality. Cooling it and then heating it up
again is a better option. The output of the warming zone is sufficient for
preparing "sensitive" dishes, such as melting chocolate or preparing a
zabaglione, a foamy sauce thickened with eggs.
This manual describes how you can make the best use possible of your
induction hob. You can find information in it about the controls and
suitable pans, and background information about how the appliance
works. You will also find cooking tables and maintenance tips.
Please keep this manual carefully, since any subsequent user will also find it very
useful.
Enjoy your cooking!
