YOUR GAS-INDUCTION HOB

Introduction

This hob has been designed for the real lover of cooking. The hob

consists of a gas wok burner and four induction cooking zones.

Cooking on an induction hob has a number of advantages. It is easy,

because the hob reacts quickly and can also be set to a very low power

level. Because, moreover, it can also be set to a high power level, it

can bring things to the boil very quickly. The ample space between the

cooking zones makes cooking comfortable.

Cooking on an induction hob is different from cooking on a traditional

appliance. Induction cooking makes use of a magnetic field to generate

heat. This means that you cannot use just any pan on it. The pans

section gives more information about this.

You can prepare wok dishes much more effectively with the high-power

wok burner (gas). Thanks to the spark ignition integrated into the knob,

you can ignite and operate the wok burner with one hand.

For optimum safety the wok burner is fitted with a thermo-electric

flame protection. The induction part of the hob is equipped with several

temperature protections and a residual heat indicator, which shows

which cooking zones are still hot.

EN 4

This manual describes how you can make the best possible use of the

induction hob. In addition to information about operation, you will also

find background information that can assist you in using this product.

You will also find cooking tables and maintenance tips.

Read the manual thorougly before using the appliance, and store

these instructions in a safe place for future reference.

The manual also serves as reference material for service technicians.

Please, therefore, stick the appliance identification card in the

space provided, at the back of the manual. The appliance identification

card contains all the information that the service technician will need in

order to respond appropriately to your needs and questions.

Enjoy your cooking!

Attention

Pans that have already been used for cooking on a gas hob are

no longer suitable for use on an induction hob.

SAFETY

Temperature safety

Cooking-time limiter

Before use, read the separate safety instructions first!

• A sensor continuously measures the temperature of certain parts

of the hob. Every induction zone is equipped with a sensor that

measures the temperature of the bottom of the pan to avoid any

risk of overheating when a pan boils dry. In case of temperatures

rising too high, the power is reduced automatically or the hob

switches off automatically.

• The cooking-time limiter is a safety function of your cooking

appliance. It will operate if you forget to switch off your hob.

• Depending on the setting you have chosen, the cooking time will be

limited as follows:

Setting The cooking zone switches

automatically off after:

1 and 2 9 hours

3, 4 and 5 5 hours

6, 7 and 8 4 hours

9 3 hours

10 2 hours

11 and 12 1 hour

The cooking-time limiter switches the cooking zones off if the time

in the table has elapsed.

EN 8

Setting The cooking zone switches

automatically to setting 12 after:

boost 10 minutes

USE INDUCTION

Using the touch controls

The touch controls may take some getting used to if you are used to

other (rotary) controls. Place the tip of your finger flat on the control to

achieve the best results. You do not have to apply any pressure.

The touch sensors only react to the light pressure of a fingertip. Do not

operate the controls with any other objects. The hob will not switch on

when your pet walks over it.

Induction cooking

Induction cooking is fast

• To start you will be surprised by the speed of induction cooking.

Especially at higher settings, foods and liquids will boil very rapidly.

It is best not to leave pans unattended to avoid them boiling over or

boiling dry.

The power will be adjusted

• In the case of induction cooking, it is only the part of the zone on

which the pan stands that is used. If you use a small pan on a large

zone, the power will be adjusted to the diameter of the pan. The

power will thus be lower and it will take longer before the food in

the pan comes to the boil.

Attention

• Grains of sand may cause scratches which cannot be removed.

Only put pans with a clean base on the cooking surface and always

pick pans up to move them.

• Do not use the hob as a worktop.

• Always keep the lid on the pan when cooking, in order to avoid

energy loss.

EN 9

USE INDUCTION

How does induction work

A magnetic field is generated in the appliance. By placing a

pan with an iron base on a cooking zone, a current is induced in the

pan base. This induced current generates heat in the base of the pan.

Easy

The coil (1) in the hob (2)

generates a magnetic field

(3). By placing a pan with

an iron base (4) on the coil,

a current is induced in the

base of the pan.

The electronic controls are accurate and easy to set. On the lowest

setting, you can melt chocolate directly in the pan, for example, or cook

ingredients that you would normally heat in a bain-marie.

Fast

Thanks to the induction hob’s high power levels, bringing food to the

boil is very quick. Cooking food through takes just as long as for other

types of cooking.

Clean

The hob is easy to clean. Because the cooking zones do not get any

hotter than the pans themselves, food spills cannot burn on.

Safe

The heat is generated in the pan itself. The glass top does not get any

warmer than the pan. This means that the cooking zone is considerable

cooler compared to that from a Ceramic hob or a gasburner. Once a

pan has been taken away, the cooking zone cools down quickly.

Induction noises

EN 10

A ticking sound

This is caused by the capacity limiter on the front and back zones.

Ticking can also occur at lower settings.

Pans are making noise

Pans can make some noise during cooking. This is caused by the

energy flowing from the hob to the saucepan. At high settings this is

perfectly normal for some pans. It will not damage either the pans or

the hob.

USE INDUCTION

Pans

The fan is making noise

To enlarge the lifespan of the electronics, the appliance is equiped with

a fan. If you use the appliance intense, the fan is activated to cool down

the appliance and you will hear a buzzing sound. The fan runs on for

several minutes after the hob has been switched off.

Automatic power-on function

When the automatic power-on function (APD) is active, you will hear a

ticking noise, even if the zone is not being used.

Pans for induction cooking

Induction cooking requires a particular quality of pan.

Attention

• Pans that have already been used for cooking on a gas hob are no

longer suitable for use on an induction hob.

• Only use pans that are suitable for electric and induction cooking

with:

▷ a thick base (minimum 2.25 mm);

▷ a flat base.

• The best are pans with the ‘Class Induction’ quality mark.

Tip

You can check for yourself whether your pans are suitable using a magnet.

A pan is suitable if the base of the pan is attracted by the magnet.

Suitable Unsuitable

Special stainless steel pans Earthenware

Class Induction Stainless steel

Hard-wearing enamelled pans Porcelain

Enamelled cast-iron pans Copper

Plastic

Aluminium

One is advised to use the pans recommended by Asko for the

automatic cooking programs.

EN 11

USE INDUCTION

Attention

Be careful with enamelled sheet-steel pans:

• the enamel may chip (the enamel comes loose from the steel), if

you switch the hob on at a high setting when the pan is (too) dry;

• the base of the pan may warp - due, for example, to overheating or

to the use of too high a power level.

Attention

Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded base can

interfere with the operation of the overheating protection, so that the

appliance becomes too hot. This may lead to the glass top cracking

and the pan base melting. Damage arising from the use of unsuitable

pans or from boiling dry is excluded from the guarantee.

Pan diameter

The maximum pan diameter is 18 cm. The diameter of the bottom of

the pan must be at least 12 cm. If a pan is too small the zone will not

work.

Pressure cookers

Induction cooking is very suitable for cooking in pressure cookers.

The cooking zone reacts very quickly, and so the pressure cooker is

quickly up to pressure. As soon as you switch a cooking zone off, the

cooking process stops immediately.
