You can test the power level of a cooking zone by measuring
how long it takes to bring a specific amount of water to the
boil.
The pan (and lid) must be stainless steel or enamel. The
diameter of the pan must match the cooking zone, and be
flat-bottomed or slightly concave.
^
Take a note of the diameter and wattage of the cooking
zone to be tested (see "Guide to the appliance - Cooking
zones").
^
Fill the pan with the quantity of water given in the table. The
temperature of the water should be approx. 20°C.
^
Put the lid on the pan and place the pan on the cooking
zone.
^ Switch on the cooking zone at the highest power level.
^ Note the time it takes for the water to boil.
The power level for the cooking zone is correct if the water
boils within the time given in the table.
The time can vary if:
- there is low or excess voltage.
- very cold water is used.
- an unsuitable pan is used.
- the pan is not covered.
