YOUR TOUCH CONTROL GAS-INDUCTION HOB

Introduction

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

consists of a gas wok burner and 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). The burner ignites automatically when it is turned on.

Thanks to the touch control the burner flame be controlled accurately.

For optimum safety the touch control gas-induction hob is fitted with

a thermo-electric flame protection. The hob is equipped with several

temperature protections and a residual heat indicator, which shows

which cooking zones (or the wok burner) are still hot.

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

the touch control gas-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.

SAFETY

Read the separate safety instructions before use!

Temperature safety induction zones

• Each induction zone is equipped with a sensor. This sensor

measures the temperature of the base of the pan and the sections

of the hob. This facility prevents overheating (for example through

a pan boiling dry). In case of temperatures rising too high, the

power of the cooking zone/hub is reduced automatically or shut off

completely.

Cooking time limiter

• If a cooking zone or the wok burner is switched on for an unusually

long time, it will be switched off automatically.

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

limited as follows:

Cooking setting

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 zone or wok brander switches off automatically when

the above-stated time has elapsed.

The cooking zone or wok burner switches off automatically after:

EN 8

Cooking setting

The cooking zone switches to setting 12 automatically after:

INDUCTION USE

Induction cooking

Induction cooking is fast

• To start with, you will be surprised by the speed of induction

cooking. Especially at higher settings, foods and liquids will come

to the boil very rapidly. It is best not to leave pans unattended to

avoid them boiling over or boiling dry.

With induction cooking

there is no heat loss and

the handles stay cool.

The power level adjusts itself

• In induction cooking, only the zone on which the pan is placed

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 comes to the boil.

Please note!

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

Therefore, 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.

• To avoid energy loss, always keep the lid on the pan when cooking.

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

longer suitable for use on an induction hob!

Operation of the touch-sensitive buttons

For optimum working, place your finger tips flat on the buttons. You

don’t have to push hard. The sensors under the buttons are located on

the slider’s outer ring.

The touch sensors have been set in such a way that they only react

to the pressure and size of finger tips. The hob can’t be operated with

other objects and won’t, for instance, be switched on if your pet walks

over the hob.

EN 9

INDUCTION USE

How induction works

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.

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.

Induction sounds

Easy

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 au bain-marie.

Quick

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 into the glass.

Safe

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

hotter than the pan. This means that the cooking zone is considerably

cooler than a ceramic hob, for example.

Once a pan has been removed, the cooking zone cools down quickly.

Ticking sound

A light ticking sound is caused by the capacity limiter on the front and

back zones. A soft ticking sound can also occur at lower settings.

EN 10

Pan makes sounds

The pan can make sounds during cooking. This is caused by the

energy flowing from the hob to the pan. This is normal for certain pans,

particularly at high settings. This is not harmful for the pans or the hob.

INDUCTION USE

Pans

Ventilator makes sounds

The appliance is fitted with a ventilator in order to increase the lifespan

of electronic components. If you use the appliance intensively, the

ventilator will be switched on and you will hear a humming sound.

The ventilator can also make sounds after you have switched off the

appliance.

Automatic pan detection

When automatic pan detection (APd) is active, a ticking sound is

observable, even when the zone is not in use.

Pans for induction cooking

Induction cooking requires a particular type of pan in terms of quality.

• 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 of a minimum of 2.25 mm;

▷ a flat base.

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

Tip!

You can use a magnet to check whether your pans are suitable. 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

Solid enamelled pans Porcelain

Enamelled cast-iron pans Copper
