OPERATION

Before using the appliance for the first time

●thoroughly clean your induction hob first. 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 first 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 field, 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 fields.

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 sufficiently 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 (seeTable on page 12).

If a pan is not placed on a cooking zone or the pan is unsuitable, the symbol is displayed.Thecookingzonewillnotoperate.Ifapanisnotdetectedwithin10minutes, the cooking zone will be switched off.

Switch off the cooking zone using the touch control sensor field 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 fields, which are operated by touching the marked area with a finger.

Each time a sensor field 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 field at a time is touched. When two or more sensor fields 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 fields are touched for a long time.

When you finish cooking switch off the cooking zone using touch control sensor fields and do not rely solely on the pan detector.

OPERATION

The high-quality cookware is an essential condition for efficient induction cooking.

Selecting cookware for induction cooking

●Always use high-quality cookware with a perfectly flat 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 filling 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.

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

Cookware base has to be flat 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

Control Panel

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

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

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

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

Switching on the appliance

To switch on the appliance touch and hold the on/off sensor field (5) for at least 1 second. The appliance will sound an acoustic signal when it is ready for use. When the appliance is ready for use, is shown on the timer display and symbols are shown on cooking zone displays.

If none of the sensor fields 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 touch sensor (5), select a cooking zone (2) within the next 60 seconds.

1When a cooking zone selection sensor field (2) is touched, a flashing "0" will be displayed on the corresponding heat setting indicator display. The display will flash for about 5 seconds. Set a heat setting during this time.

Acooking zone is active when a number is flashing on its display. This indicates a cooking zone is ready for the heat setting to be set or changed.

Selecting the cooking zone heat setting

While the number "0" is flashing on the cooking zone display, you can start adjusting the heat setting sliding your finger across the slider sensor (1). The default heat setting is "0".

Heat setting selection sensor (1) is a slider type touch control sensor allowing selection of heat setting (1-9) and timer setting (1-99) by touching and sliding your finger across the marked area (1):

sliding right - increase the heat setting sliding left - reduce the heat setting.

It is also possible to select the heat setting directly by touching the appropriate part of the heat setting selection sensor field (1).
