Sense Boil® (This function only applies to WHI635BD & WHI643BD&WHI645BD&WHI743BD& WHI943BD & WHI955BD)
The function automatically adjusts the temperature of water so that It does not boil over once it reaches the boiling point.

A blinking / icon (for WHI955BD) appears for cooking zones on which you can presently use the function.

3. Touch the control bar of any available cooking zone for which you want to start the function (between the heat setting 1-9).

The function starts. If you do not choose any cooking zone within 5 seconds the function does not activate.

The function works best for boiling water and preparing potatoes.
IMPORTANT
It does not work with cast iron and non-stick cookware, e.g. with a ceramic coating. Enamelled steel pots are recommended for achieving the best results while boiling potatoes.
Check if the pot you chose is suitable for SenseBoil® by monitoring the first cooking session.
To use SenseBoil® efficiently follow the advice below:
· FiIl between half to three quarters of the pot with cold tap water leaving 4 cm from the rim of the pot empty. Do not use less than 1 or more than 5 litres of water. Make sure the total weight of the water ( or the water and potatoes) ranges between 1-5 kg.
· If you want to cook potatoes, make sure they are completely covered with water, but remember to leave at least one quarter of the pot empty.
· To achieve the best results cook only whole, unpeeled, medium-sized potatoes.
· Make sure you do not pack potatoes too tightly.
· Avoid producing external vibrations (e.g. from using a blender or placing a mobile phone next to the appliance) when the function is running.
· If you want to use salt, add it after the water reaches the boiling point.
· The function may not work properly for water kettles and espresso pots.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Hob²Hood(except WHI323BD)
This is an advanced automatic function which connects the hob to a special hood. Both the hob and the hood have an infra-red signal communicator. Speed of the fan is defined automatically on basis of mode setting and temperature of the hottest cookware on the hob. You can also operate the fan from the hob manually.
IMPORTANT
For most of the hoods the remote system is originally deactivated. Activate it before you use the function. For more information refer to hood user manual.
Operating the function automatically
The default automatic mode from the factory is H5. You can change the automatic mode by following the instructions below. When you activate the hob the hood will adjust the fan speed automatically. Please note the below table is a guide, the fan speed varies depending on the temperature measured on the cooking zones of the cooktop which can be affected by the heat setting(s) selected as well as the size and volume of what you are cooking.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

MAGNET FALLS
Cookware base material is non-magnetic

Cookware is correct for an induction hob if …
· Some water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest heat setting.
· A magnet pulls on to the bottom of the cookware.

IMPORTANT
Use the induction cooking zones with correct cookware.
Cookware for induction cooking zones
IMPORTANT
For induction cooking zones a strong electromagnetic field creates the heat in the cookware very quickly.
Cookware material
· Correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless steel, the bottom made of multi-layer (with correct mark from a manufacturer).
· Not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic or porcelain.
FIND THE RIGHT COOKWARE
Only magnetic pots and pans work with induction. Check to see if your cookware is compatible:Place a magnet on the bottom of your pot or pan – if it clings firmly, the cookware will work with your cooktop. Choose the right size pot or pan for the right cooking zone.
MAGNET STICKS
Cookware base material has good magnetic characteristics

IMPORTANT
The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible. Cookware dimensions: induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the cookware automatically to some limit.
The noises during operation
If you can hear · crack noise: cookware is made of different materials
(Sandwich construction). · whistle sound: you use one or more cooking zones
with high power levels and the cookware is made of different materials (Sandwich construction). · humming: you use high power levels. · clicking: electric switching occurs. · hissing, buzzing: the fan operates. The noises are normal and do not refer to appliance malfunction. If unfamiliar with induction units, please first compare the operating sounds of a demonstration model at your retailer before calling service. If a service call is placed and the sounds are normal, you will be charged for the visit.
Energy saving
ENVIRONMENT
· If it is possible, always put the lids on the cookware. · Put cookware on a cooking zone before you start it.
IMPORTANT
It may happen that other remote controlled appliances may block the signal. To avoid it do not operate the remote of the appliance and the hob at the same time.

Rangehoods with the Hob²Hood function
To find the full range of rangehoods which work with this function refer to our consumer website. The Westinghouse rangehoods that work with this function
must have the symbol .
Examples of cooking applications
The relation between the heat setting and the cooking zone consumption of power is not linear. When you increase the heat setting it is not proportional to the increase of the cooking zone consumption of power.
It means that the cooking zone with the medium heat setting uses less than a half of its power.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS 17

CARE AND CLEANING
Care and cleaning Clean the appliance after each use. Always use cookware with clean bottom.

IMPORTANT
Scratches or dark stains on the glass ceramic have no effect on how the appliance operates.

To remove the dirt:
1. Remove immediately: melted plastic, plastic foil, and food with sugar. If not, the dirt can cause damage to the appliance. Use a special scraper for the glass. Put the scraper on the glass surface at an acute angle and move the blade on the surface.
Remove after the appliance is sufficiently cool: limescale rings, water rings, fat stains, shiny metallic discolorations. Use a special cleaning agent for glass ceramic or stainless steel.
2. Clean the appliance with a moist cloth and some detergent.
3. At the end rub the appliance dry with a clean cloth.

If the deposit does not clean off easily, use a non-abrasive scratch pad and a specially adapted glass-ceramic cleaning product

If the deposit does not clean off with any of the above mentioned methods, use a razor blade scraper, specially designed for glass-ceramic cooktops.

If the deposit is minimal, simply wipe off with a dry cloth.

Having successfully cleaned the cooktop, apply a glass ceramic cooktop conditioner which will protect the cooktop surface against any future stains, with a dry cloth or equivalent.

If the deposit is more important, clean off with a moist, soapy sponge and rinse off.
