Installation and operation
EN
Connection — Electrical Power
• Verify if the technical specification of the appliance (see the rating plate)
correspond to the local electricity grid.
• Electrical connection of the appliance to mains power supply must be executed
by a qualified electrician, according to international, national and local
regulations in force.
• The induction cooker is equipped with power cord. It must be connected with a
plug or directly into a suitable mains wall socket.
• When connecting the appliance to electric power supply, do not use adapters,
reducers nor multiple sockets.
• The power cord may not come in contact with any of hot elements and must be
routed so that it is not subject to influence of temperature exceeding 75°C.
• Do not use the appliance with an external timer or remote control.
5.2 Operation
Method of operation of heating plates
In induction cookers the electric voltage is applied to a conductive coil under the
glass. This generates magnetic field, which being a physical effect, heats the
bottom of a cookware directly.
This translates to savings of time and energy, as — contradictory to traditional
heating areas — there is no heating up of a heater and then of the glass heating
plate.
Another advantage of the technical features described above is the very short
cooking time.
Additionally, inflow of heat changes instantly with every change of settings and it
may be controlled precisely. The induction heating plate reacts to changes in
settings as fast a gas cooker, for the energy is delivered immediately to a pot,
without the need to prior heating up of other materials.
The induction technology combines the speed of reaction with a basic benefit of the
current, making it possible to precisely control heat inflow.

Automatic Switch-Off / Standard Operating Hours
Automatic switch-off is a safety feature of the induction plate. It switches off
automatically if user forgets to switch the appliance off.
Standard operating hours for various cooking levels are listed in the below table:
If the cookware piece is removed, the induction plate can stop heating immediately,
and switches off automatically after 2 minutes.
Recommendations for Cooking
• The cooking process should be commenced with high setting, and then
reduced, when the prepared food is heated up or boiling.
• Using lids shortens the cooking time and saves energy, as heat is arrested.
• When cooking with lid on, decrease the cooking level as soon as steam starts to
flow out between a lid and a cookware piece.
• To shorten the preparation time, minimize the amount of liquid or fat.
• When heating up pomaces, creamy soups and thick sauces, stir them from time
to time.
• When the cooking process is finished, and until serving, the food should be kept
warm in closed containers.
• Do not cook food too long, to retain nutritional values.
• To obtain healthier cooking results, do not heat up oils nor fats to and above
smoke point.
• To brown food, fry it in small portions, one by one.
• In the cooking process, cookware may reach high temperatures. Use kitchen
towels or protective gloves.

Cleaning
EN
6. Food residues, which reached the heating plate during boiling over or that
melted on the plate, as well as food residues containing sugar should be
removed immediately, as soon as possible. It may be difficult to remove them
from cooled-down heating plate, and the glass surface may even be
permanently damaged.
CAUTION! Risk of burns!
The heating surface is very hot when the cooking process is finished.
Do not touch hot heating surface.
7. Use glass scrapper suitable for glass heating plates. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
WARNING! Cut wounds hazard!
The blade of the glass scrapper is very sharp, when the protective cover is
removed.
Exercise caution when using glass scrapper.
Glass scrapper should be kept away from the reach of children.
8. Store the glass scrapper at the angle of 30° to the heating plate and move
soilings or spilled food products into a cold area of the heating plate.
9. Remove soiling with a sponge or a cloth and clean the heating plate, as
described above.
10. When food spills onto touch control field, an acoustic signal sounds an the
appliance may not be usable until liquids are present on the field.
11. Switch the appliance off, and use a sponge or a cloth to wipe liquids or food
residues.

7 Indications and Tips
34 / 38 105862
Indications and Tips
EN
Problem
Possible Cause
To-Do
Some pans/pots
make crashing or
clicking sounds.
This is caused by the
structure of cookware: layers
made of various metals
vibrate differently.
This is normal in the case of
some cookware adapted to
induction plates and is not
considered to be an
operational flaw or en error.
Quiet booming
sound during
operation at high
output level.
This is caused by the
technology of induction
cooking.
This is normal; when the
setting is reduced, the sound
power will be smaller or
disappears completely.
Sound generated
with a working fan.
Built-in fans prevent
electronics against
overheating during operation
and shortly after switching
the appliance off.
This is normal and requires
no intervention.
Cookware does not
heat up.
The appliance cannot
recognise the cookware for:
– it is not suitable for using
on induction plates,
– it is too small for a given
hob,
– it is not placed in the
middle.
Use only cookware that is
suitable for induction plates.
Make sure that the
diameter/size of the
pan's/pot's bottom is suitable
for a hob.
Always place the cookware in
the middle of a hob.
