Danger of burns! 49 Instructions for the user 5. 5 Teppan yaki hob This hob enables food to be cooked or heated directly on the plate, with or without oil. This kind of cooking uses temperatures that never exceed the smoke points of the food (i. e. the temperatures at which food starts to burn) and very rapid cooking times. Saucepans or other cookware can also been used, but the time taken to reach the required temperature is naturally longer. Further information on using cookware can be found in paragraph "5. 9 Precautions when using the teppan yaki plate". The appliance has two cooking zones of equal power levels and diameters. They are positioned roughly at the front half and the rear half of the plate. Under each cooking zone there is a coil called inductor which is powered by an electronic system and which creates a variable magnetic field. When the teppan yaki plate is positioned within this magnetic field, the high frequency currents are concentrated directly onto the plate producing the heat required for heating and cooking the food. P 50° P 50° 200° 160° 100° 200° 160° 100° The symbol adjacent to the knobs indicates the cooking zone they control. To switch a zone on, turn the knob to the desired position. Adjustment is continuous, so the appliance functions when set to the intermediate values as well. [. . . ] These stains can be removed using lemon juice, vinegar or a gentle lime-scale remover.
