Whirlpool IWSH9051CAUS 90cm Wide 5 Zone Built-In Induction Cooktop with Slider Touch Control

• Induction technology: heats the pan, not the cooktop, reducing energy dispersion for faster and more energy-efficient cooking.
• Booster: every cooking zone is equipped with a Booster function that significantly reduces boiling times.
• Five cooking zones: a 280mm central zone at 2,300W (Booster 3,000W), two 210mm zones at 2,000W (Booster 3,000W) and two 160mm zones at 1,500W (Booster 2,000W): left front 2,000W, left rear 1,500W, central 2,300W, right front 1,500W and right rear 2,000W.
• Black ceramic glass: a completely smooth, flat cooking surface that is extremely easy to clean with just a wipe.
• Slider touch control: select a zone, then slide a finger across the keypad to set the heat across 9 power levels.
• Stop & Go: suspends cooking when you are interrupted and restarts at the same settings with one touch.
• Child Lock: locks the controls to prevent toddlers and children accidentally using the cooktop.
• Timer: use as a minute minder or to switch a zone off automatically, set up to 99 minutes.
• Pan detection: no heating takes place unless a suitable pan is on the cooking zone.
• Residual heat indicator: an "H" shows on each zone that is still hot.
• Auto shutdown: switches a zone off automatically after 8, 4 or 2 hours depending on the power level, if it is forgotten.
• Overheat and overflow protection: the cooktop stops operating if it gets too hot, and shuts off if liquid spills over the control panel.
• Easy-fit installation kit: supplied with fixing clips, screws and a foam gasket for a secure fit into the worktop.

Power level guide (per the Whirlpool use and care guide):

• Levels 1-2: delicate warming of small amounts of food, melting chocolate and butter, and foods that burn quickly.
• Levels 3-4: gentle simmering, slow warming and reheating.
• Levels 5-6: rapid simmering, cooking rice and pancakes.
• Levels 7-8: sautéing, cooking pasta, stir-frying and searing.
• Level 9: bringing soup to the boil and boiling water.

Functions:

• Slider touch control: press and hold ON/OFF for about 3 seconds to switch on, select a zone, then move a finger horizontally across the scroll keypad to set the power from 0 to 9 (default level 5). The controls respond to a light touch of the ball of the finger and beep when a touch registers.
• Booster: select a zone and touch the Booster button to boost it to its maximum power rating for 5 minutes. The display shows "b", and the zone returns to its original setting when the boost finishes. Touch Booster again, or adjust the power level, to cancel.
• Stop & Go: press the Stop & Go button to put all zones on hold (the displays show "P"), and press it again to resume at the same settings. If left active for more than 10 minutes, the cooktop turns itself off.
• Child Lock: press the Child Lock button to lock the controls ("Lo" shows on the timer display). Only ON/OFF and Child Lock remain active. Press and hold Child Lock for 3 seconds to unlock.
• Timer: set up to 99 minutes as a minute minder (does not switch any zone off) or as a zone timer that switches one or more zones off when the time is up. Slide the keypad to set the units digit, press the timer button, then slide to set the tens digit and press the timer button again to confirm. The default is 30 minutes and the buzzer sounds for 30 seconds at the end.
• Pan detection: if the display flashes alternately with the heat setting, no suitable pan is on the zone. The display turns off after 2 minutes, and a zone with an unsuitable or very small item on it switches off after 1 minute.
• Standby auto-off: if no zone is used within 1 minute of switching on, the cooktop turns itself off.
• Residual heat warning: an "H" stays on the zone display until the surface is cool enough to touch.
• Auto shutdown: a zone left on switches off after 8 hours at levels 1-3, 4 hours at levels 4-6, or 2 hours at levels 7-9.
• Overheat protection: the cooktop stops operating automatically if the internal temperature gets too high.
• Overflow protection: if liquid boils over onto the control panel, or a wet cloth covers it, the cooktop shuts off power and the controls stay disabled (except ON/OFF and Child Lock) until the panel is wiped dry.
• Cooling fan: the fan keeps running for about 1 minute after the cooktop is turned off.

Australian Consumer Law

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

With five zones across 90cm, including a large 280mm central zone, this cooktop suits keen cooks and entertainers who run several pots and pans at once. Pans should have a flat base that sits flush against the glass and matches the size of the zone, always centred on it, because a smaller pot reduces efficiency. When two zones in the same vertical direction are in use, boosting one lowers the other to level 2 if it was set higher, so it helps to plan which pans get the Booster.

The slider control rewards a light, deliberate touch: slide the ball of the finger horizontally across the keypad, keeping it clean and dry, because even a thin film of water can make it hard to operate. A setting is confirmed once the display stops flashing, after about 5 seconds. For the timer, the slider sets the units digit first, then the tens digit, and the timer button confirms each step.

For stir-frying, the use and care guide suggests an induction-compatible flat-based wok or large frying pan, having every ingredient ready, cooking large quantities in several smaller batches, then cooking the meat first and setting it aside, stir-frying the vegetables until crisp and turning the zone down before returning the meat and adding the sauce. The cooktop is for household and similar use, not professional or outdoor use, and should not be used if the glass is cracked. If power is cut during cooking all settings are cancelled, and people with a pacemaker or similar medical device should consult their doctor or the device manufacturer.
