6 OperationMODES OF OPERATIONHEATINGThe induction cooker is switched on with the control knob (OFF à ON). The cooker is immediately ready foroperation. The illuminated indicator operation lights means that energy is being transferred to the pan.The power rating is set by turning the control knob. The inductive power depends on the position of the poten-tiometer:w F position 1: minimum powerw F position 10: maximum power for GIU 2.5 BIw F position 12: maximum power for all other modelsCONTROL KNOBthe number that points to the indicator operation marks the actual position of the control knob.OFF- POSITION:0 points to the indicator operationON- POSITION:any position, where other than 0 points to the indicator operationSPECIAL FEATURES OF GARLAND INDUCTION1) EXCELLENT SIMMER CONTROLWe have designed these units with excellent simmer control. The 3.5KW and 5.0KW units all feature an infinite con-trol and we have marked the overlays from 1-12 as the power increases. (0-10 for GIU2.5 BI) We have designed theunits such that the range from 1-9 (1-7 on GIU2.5 BI) controls the heat from about 5% to 50% of total power, giv-ing a great range of simmer control. The power jumps dramatically for strong boiling and quick heat after that.6.1 COOKING PROCESSDue to the following characteristics, the operator must be more attentive when using the induction cooker than itwould be required with other appliances.The heat storage capacity of this system is very low. If the heating level is changed with the control knob, the food isimmediately exposed to a different temperature. Empty pots and pans will heat up very quickly and are then readyfor cooking. Once this has occurred, carefully adjust the heating level to the desired cooking level by setting andadjusting the power with the control knob.Set and adjust the power with the control knob. The pan should always remain in the center of the heating area, oth-erwise, the bottom of the pan is heated unequally and the food inside the pan may burn.When heating up oil or grease, constantly check the pan to prevent oil and grease from overheating and burning.COMFORTThe cooker only transmits energy if a pan is placed on the heating area. If you take the pan away from the heatingarea, power transfer stops immediately. If the pan is put back on the heating area, the selected power will be trans-ferred to the pan again.After switching the cooker to the off position the cooking will stop.Page 11
