HOW TO SAVE ELECTRICITY

UNPACKING

Using the electricity in a responsible manner not only saves money, but also helps protect the environment. So let’s save electricity! This is how it’s done:

●Use the correct cookware.

Cookware with at and a thick base can save up to 1/3 of electricity. Please remember to cover cookware with the lid, otherwise electricity consumption increased four times!

●Always keep the cooking zones and

cookware bases clean.

Dirt prevents proper heat transfer. Often burnt stains can be removed only with agents harmful to the environment.

●Avoiding unnecessary lifting the lid to

peek into the pot.

●Do not install the hob in the immediate

vicinity of refrigerator / freezer.

The electricity consumption is then unnecessarily increased.

The appliance was protected from damage at the time of transport. After unpacking, please dispose of all elements of packaging in a way

that will not cause damage to the environment. All materials used for packaging the appliance are environmentally friendly; they are 100% recyclable and are marked with the appropriate symbol.

OPERATION

Before using the appliance for the rst time

● thoroughly clean your induction hob rst. The induction hob should be treated with the same care as a glass surface.

● switch on the ventilation in the room or open a window, as the appliance could emit an unpleasant smell during rst use.

● operate the appliance while observing all safety guidelines.

Induction cooking zone operation principle

Electric oscillator powers a coil placed inside the appliance. This coil produces a magnetic eld, which induces eddy currents in the pot, when it is placed on the hob. These currents make the pot real transmitters of heat, while the hob glass surface remains cool.

This requires the use of pots whose base is ferromagnetic, in other words susceptible to magnetic elds. Overall, induction technology is characterized by two advantages:

● the heat is only emitted by the pot and its use is maximised,

● there is no thermal inertia, since the cooking starts immediately when the pot is placed on

the hob and ends once it is removed.

The protective device:

If the hob has been installed correctly and is used properly, any protective devices are rarely required.

Fan: protects and cools controls and power components. It can operate at two different speeds and is activated automatically. Fan may runs when the cooking zones are off until the electronic system is sufciently cooled.

Temperature sensor: Temperature of electronic circuits is continuously monitored by a temperature sensor. If temperature is raised beyond a safe level, this protection system will reduce cooking zone heat setting or shut down the cooking zones adjacent to the overheated electronic circuits.

Pan detection: allows the hob to detect pans placed on a cooking zone. Small objects placed on the cooking zone (eg, spoon, knife, ring ...) will not be recognised as pans and the hob will not operate.

OPERATION

Pan detector

Pan detector is installed in induction hobs. Pan detector starts heating automatically when a pan is detected on a cooking zone and stops heating when it is removed. This helps save electricity.

● When an suitable pan is placed on a cooking zone, the display shows the heat setting.

● Induction requires the use of suitable cookware with ferromagnetic base (see Table on page

12).

If a pan is not placed on a cooking zone or the pan is unsuitable, the symbol is displayed. The cooking zone will not operate. If a pan is not detected within 10 minutes, the cooking zone will be switched off. Switch off the cooking zone using the touch control sensor eld rather than by removing the pan.

Pan detector does not operate as the on/off sensor.

The induction hob is equipped with electronic touch control sensor elds, which are operated by touching the marked area with a nger. Each time a sensor eld is touched, an acoustic signal can be heard.

When switching the appliance on or off or changing the heat setting, attention should be paid that only one sensor eld at a time is touched. When two or more sensor elds are touched at the same time (except timer and child lock), the appliance ignores the control signals and may trigger a fault indication if sensor elds are touched for a long time. When you nish cooking switch off the cooking zone using touch control sensor elds and do not rely solely on the pan detector.

OPERATION

The high-quality cookware is an essential condition for efcient induction cooking.

Selecting cookware for induction cooking

● Always use high-quality cookware with a perfectly at base: this will prevent local overheating, where food could stick while cooking. Pots and pans with thick steel walls provide superior heat distribution.

● Make sure that cookware base is dry: when lling a pot or when using a pot taken out of the refrigerator make sure its base is completely dry before placing it on the cooking zone. This is to avoid soiling the surface of the hob.

● Lid prevents heat from escaping and thus reduces heating time and lowers energy consumption.

Energy is transferred best when cookware size corresponds to the size of the cooking zone. The smallest and largest possible diameters are indicated in the following table and depend on the quality of the cookware used.

Induction cooking zone The base diameter of induction cookware

Diameter (mm) Minimum (mm) Maximum (mm)

210 140 210

180 140 180

160 140 160

When using cookware smaller than the minimum diameter induction hob may not work.

Cookware base has to be at for optimal temperature control by the induction

module. The concave base or deep embossed logo of the manufacturer interfere with the temperature induction control module and can cause overheating of the pot or pan. Do not use damaged cookware such as cookware with deformed base due to excessive heat.

OPERATION

Selecting cookware for the induction cooking zone

Marking of kitchen cookware

Use magnetic cookware (enamelled steel, ferrite stainless steel, cast iron). The easiest way to determine if your cookware is suitable is to perform the „magnet test”. Find a generic magnet and check if it sticks to the base of the cookware.

Stainless Steel Cookware is not detected

With the exception of the ferromagnetic steel cookware

Aluminium Cookware is not detected Cast iron High efciency

Caution: cookware can scratch the hob surface

Enamelled steel High efciency

Cookware with a at, thick and smooth base is recommended

Glass Cookware is not detected Porcelain Cookware is not detected Cookware with copper

base

Check for marking indicating that the cookware is suitable for induction cooking.

OPERATION

Control Panel

● Immediately after the appliance is connected to electrical mains, all displays will light up briey. Your induction hob is then ready for use.

● The induction hob is equipped with electronic touch control sensor elds, which are operated by touching with a nger for at least 1 second.

● Touching of a sensor eld is accompanied by an acoustic signal to acknowledge.

No objects should be placed on the sensor elds (this could cause an error). Touch sensor elds should be always kept clean.

Switching on the appliance

To switch on the appliance touch and hold the on/off sensor eld (4) for at least 1 second. The appliance is switched on when all displays show „-” or „--”.

If none of the sensor elds is touched within 60 seconds, the appliance switches

itself off.

Switching on the cooking zones

Once the appliance is switched on using the on/off sensor eld (4), select a cooking zone (1)

within the next 60 seconds.

1. When a cooking zone selection sensor eld (1) is touched, „5” on the corresponding heat setting indicator display will become bright.

2. Set the desired heat setting using the „+” (2) or „-” (2) sensor elds.

If none of the sensor elds is touched within 60 seconds of switching on the

appliance, the cooking zone switches off.

A cooking zone is active when its display shows a digit or a letter. This indicates the cooking zone is ready for the heat setting to be set or changed.

Selecting the cooking zone heat setting

When the cooking zone display (3) shows bright “0”, start setting the desired heat setting using the „+” (2) or „-” (2) sensor eld.
