Heritage Induction Cooktops - Usage & Appliance Features

Refer to your owner's manual to learn if your Induction Cooktop has these features as well as how to turn them on.

PowerBoost^® - This feature enables you to quickly heat up large amounts of water at a temperature higher than the highest power level of the cooktop. We recommend using this to heat up large amounts of soup or stock.

Here is a useful tip for this feature:

• To protect the internal components of the cooktop, this feature will switch off automatically if the cooktop gets too hot. This is normal.

PanBoost^® heats up food at a temperature higher than the cooktop’s highest power level and is great for searing steaks, fish or vegetables. Ideal for when you’re cooking with oil, PanBoost^® provides 30 seconds of maximum power, then automatically adjusts to level 9.

Here are some useful tip(s) for this feature:

• Do not preheat your cookware.
• Use cookware with a fully flat base. Do not use cookware with a thin base.
• Never leave empty cookware, oil, butter, or lard to heat up unattended.
• Do not place a lid on the cookware. The lid will become too hot.

CookSmart^® allows you to melt, prepare sauces, sauté, deep fry, or fry by maintaining a constant temperature on the cookware for consistent results.

• Level 1 - Preparing and reducing sauces, sweating vegetables and frying food in extra virgin olive oil, butter or margarine,
• Level 2 - Frying food using extra virgin olive oil, butter or margarine, e.g. omelettes, French toast, or hash browns.
• Level 3 - Frying fish, pancakes, and thick food such as Hamburgers or pork chops.
• Level 4 - Frying ground meat, vegetables or thin slices of meat, e.g. veal cutlet.
• Level 5 - Frying food at high temperatures, e.g. steaks medium rare or fried cooked potatoes.
