If you use the quick switch-on at

Special functions: CHEF
These functions have pre-allocated
power levels to make cooking easier,
obtaining excellent results as the
temperature of the pan is controlled
continuously by sensors. When the
target temperature for the function
has been reached, it is automatically
maintained without needing to change
the power level.
The Chef functions operate correctly
with pans with the same ferromagnetic
area on the base of the pan as the
area of the cooking zone. In addition,
for high temperature functions (above
100 ºC), pans must have a fl at, even
base (preferably "sandwich" type) as
shown in fi gure 27.

To ensure the correct operation of
these functions, it is important that the
pan and the cooking zone are not hot
at the start of the process.
Further information about suitable
pans (saucepans, frying pans, grills,
etc.) is given on the Teka web page.
