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.

Important! Keep the packaging material (bags, Styrofoam pieces, etc.) out of reach of children during unpacking.

DISPOSAL

In accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC and Polish legislation regarding used electrical and electronic goods, this appliance is marked with the symbol of the crossed-out waste container.

This marking means that the appliance must not be disposed of together with other household waste after it has been used. The user is obliged to hand it over to waste collection

centre collecting used electrical and electronic goods. The collectors, including local collection points, shops and local authority departments provide recycling schemes. Proper handling of used electrical and electronic goods helps avoid environmental and health hazards resulting from the presence of dangerous components and the inappropriate storage and processing of such goods.

Important!

Electrical connection must be made by a properly certied qualied installer. Do not

make any alterations in the appliance electrical system.

Tips for the installer

The hob is equipped with a terminal block allowing different connections appropriate for a

specic type of power supply. Terminal block allows the following connections:

- single-phase 230 V ~

- two-phase 400 V 2N~

The hob can be adapted to a specic type of power supply by bridging the appropriate

terminals according to wiring diagram. Wiring diagram is placed on the hob's underside. The terminal block can be accessed by removing the lid on hob's underside. Remember to match the power cord to the type of connection and the hob's power rating.

Important!

Remember to connect the neutral lead to correct terminal block clamp, marked with

. The electrical system supplying the hob must be protected by a properly selected tripping device or a circuit breaker allowing to disconnect the power supply in an emergency.

Before connecting the appliance to power, please carefully read the information provided on the rating plate and wiring diagram.

Connecting the hob other than shown on the wiring diagram may damage the hob.

CAUTION! The installer is obliged to provide the user with "appliance electrical connection

certicate" (enclosed with the warranty card). After installation, the installer should also provide information on the connection made:

- single-phase, two-phase or three-phase,

- conductor cross-section,

- electrical protection (fuse type).

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 cookware.

These eddy currents induced by the magnetic eld cause the

cookware to heat up.

This requires the use of pots and pans whose base is ferromagnetic, in other words suscep-

tible to magnetic elds.

Overall, induction technology is characterized by two advantages:

● the heat is only emitted by the cookware 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.

Certain sounds can be heard during normal use of the induction hob, which do not affect its correct operation.

● Low-frequency humming. This noise arises when the cookware is empty and stops when

water is poured or food is placed in the cookware.

● High-frequency whizz. This noise arises in cookware made of multiple layers of different

materials at maximum heat setting. The noise intensies when using two or more cooking

zones at maximum heat setting. The noise will stop or reduce when heat setting is reduced.

● Creaking noise. This noise arises in cookware made of multiple layers of different materi-

als. The noise intensity depends on how the food is cooked.

● Buzzing. Buzzing can be heard when electronics cooling fan operates.

The noises that can be heard during the normal appliance operation are the result of the cooling fan operation, cooking method, cookware dimensions, cookware material and the heat setting. These noises are normal and do not indicate a fault.

OPERATION

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 runs until the electronic system has sufciently cooled

down regardless of the appliance or the cooking zones being turned on or off. 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.

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).

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.

Select cookware for induction cooking

Cookware characteristics.

● Always use high quality cookware, with perfectly at base. This prevents the formation

of local hot spots, where food might stick.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.

● To determine if cookware is suitable, make sure that its base attracts a magnet.

● 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.

● When you use large ferromagnetic base cookware, whose diameter is less than the total

diameter of the cookware, only the ferromagnetic base heats up. This results in a situation where it is not possible to uniformly distribute the heat in the cookware. If the ferromagnetic area is reduced due to inclusion of aluminium parts then the effective heated area can be reduced. Problems with the detection of the cookware could arise or cookware may not be detected at all. To achieve optimum cooking results, the diameter of the ferromagnetic base should match that of the cooking zone. If cookware is not detected in a given cooking zone, it is advisable to try it in a smaller cooking zone.

OPERATION

For induction cooking us only ferromagnetic base materials such as:

●enamelled steel

● cast iron

● special stainless steel cookware designed for induction cooking.

Marking of kitchen cookware

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

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.
