You can use the timer in two different ways:

You can use it as a minute minder. In this case, the timer will not turn any cooking zone off when the set time is up.

You can set it to turn either or more than one cooking zones off.

When the timer is set, it will begin to count down immediately, the display will show the remaining time.

The red dot next to power level indicator will illuminate for those zones be set with timer.

If more than one heating zone has timer setting, the timer indicator will show the lowest time. The red dot next to power level indicator will flash.

When cooking timer expires, the corresponding cooking zone will be switch off automatically.

The default setting of minute reminder and timer is 30 minutes.

It means that:

you have not placed a pan on the correct cooking zone or,

the pan you’re using is not suitable for induction cooking or,

the pan is too small or not properly centered on the cooking zone.

No heating takes place unless there is a suitable pan on the cooking zone.

The display will auto turn off after 2 minutes if no suitable pan is placed on it.

When an unsuitable size or non-magnetic pan (e.g. aluminum), or some other small item (e.g. knife, fork, key) has been left on the hob, the corresponding cooking zone will automatically turn off in 1 minute.

When the hob has been operating for some time, there will be some residual heat. The letter “H” appears in power setting indicator to warn you to keep away from it.

It can also be used as an energy saving function: if you want to heat further pans, use the hotplate that is still hot.

Another safety feature of the MONSHER MHI 6006 hob is auto shutdown. This occurs whenever you forget to switch off a cooking zone. The default shutdown times are shown in the table below:

Power level | Default working timer (hour)

1 | 8

2 | 8

3 | 8

4 | 4

5 | 4

6 | 4

7 | 2

8 | 2

9 | 2

A temperature sensor equipped can monitor the temperature inside the hob. When an excessive temperature is monitored, the hob will auto stop operation.

For your safety, the programmer will auto shut off the power if liquid boiling or wet cloth over touch control panel. All control buttons became invalid except ON/OFF and Child Lock button, unless you wipe the touch control area dry.

When food comes to the boil, reduce the power setting.

Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.

Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.

Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated through.

The settings below for induction hob are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on factors including your cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment with the induction hob to find the settings that best suit you.
