Induction technology heats the pan rather than the cooktop surface, which reduces wasted energy and speeds up cooking, and the Power (Booster) function adds extra power when you need to bring something to the boil quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChef Control lets you slide continuously from high to low heat, 6th SENSE functions take care of simmering, melting, keeping warm and boiling, and the FlexiSide zone lets you place pots anywhere in the area for more even heat. With 18 power levels plus Booster, a total power of 10.8kW, a timer, Stop \u0026amp; Go and a control panel lock, it fits an 860mm x 490mm cut-out and must be installed by a qualified technician.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhirlpool appliances are distributed in Australia by Arisit Pty Limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch1\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInduction technology: \u003c\/strong\u003eheats the pan, not the cooktop, reducing energy dispersion for faster and more energy-efficient cooking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexiSide \/ Flexi Zone: \u003c\/strong\u003efreedom to place pots anywhere in the flexible area for more uniform heat distribution, with two linked zones working together at one power level and timer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChef Control: \u003c\/strong\u003econtinuous cooking from high to low temperatures with a slide on the surface for added flexibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6th SENSE functions: \u003c\/strong\u003eautomatic Simmering, Melting, Keep Warm and Boiling functions that monitor the pan temperature with sensors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBooster (Power function): \u003c\/strong\u003esupplies extra power to a zone above its nominal value to significantly reduce boiling times.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18 power levels plus Booster: \u003c\/strong\u003ea total power of 10.8kW.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Schott glass: \u003c\/strong\u003ea smooth ceramic glass surface that is easy to wipe clean.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront slider touch control: \u003c\/strong\u003eslide a finger along the cursor slider to set the heat, or touch directly on the level you want.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTimer: \u003c\/strong\u003eprogram each zone for 1 to 99 minutes, with the zone switching off when the time is up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStop \u0026amp; Go: \u003c\/strong\u003epauses cooking and resumes at the same power and timer settings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl panel lock: \u003c\/strong\u003eblocks the controls to prevent unwanted operation, useful as a childproof safety.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePan detection and residual heat indicator: \u003c\/strong\u003ea zone stops heating if no suitable pan is present, and an \"H\" shows on zones that are still hot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Management: \u003c\/strong\u003ethe total power of the cooktop can be limited from 2kW to 7kW to suit your electrical supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch1\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour \/ Finishes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Schott Glass\u003c\/strong\u003e - WT1090BA\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch1\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProgrammes \/ Functions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6th SENSE functions (per the Whirlpool use and care guide):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSimmering: \u003c\/strong\u003ekeeps food at a gentle simmer after it has boiled.

The guide notes that they work best when the pan's ferromagnetic base matches the size of the cooking zone, that high-temperature functions (above 100°C) need a flat, even base, preferably a \"sandwich\" type, and that neither the pan nor the zone should be hot at the start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Power Management menu is worth knowing about before the cooktop is installed. It can only be reached in the first minute after connecting to the power supply: hold the timer plus sensor for three seconds until \"PL\" shows, then use the lock sensor and the plus and minus sensors to pick a limit between 2kW and 7kW. To change the limit later, the cooktop must be unplugged and reconnected. The guide also warns against using the cooktop during the pyrolytic cleaning cycle of an oven installed below it, because of the high temperatures that cycle reaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInduction cookware needs a completely flat ferromagnetic base, such as enamelled steel, cast iron or stainless steel made for induction, and the guide does not recommend diffuser plates or aluminium, glass, copper or clay pans. Humming, whistling or creaking while cooking, and a fan that keeps running after cooking, are normal. If the control panel lock is active when the cooktop is switched off, it cannot be turned on again until the lock is released, and water or objects on the buttons can accidentally switch the lock on or off. The cooktop is for household and similar use, not professional or outdoor use, and should not be used if the glass is cracked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch1\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Products \/ Accessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCooktop: \u003c\/strong\u003e1 x Whirlpool WT1090BA 90cm 5 + 1 Flexi Zone Built-In Induction Cooktop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch1\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhirlpool appliances are distributed in Australia by Arisit Pty Limited and are backed by a 2-year manufacturer's warranty covering all defects in materials and workmanship.
