1.2 Safety instructions

Electrical Current
Too high a mains voltage or incorrect installation may cause electric shock.
The appliance may be connected only if data on the rating plate correspond with
the mains voltage.
To avoid short-circuit, the appliance should be kept dry.
If there are malfunctions during operation, disconnect the appliance from the
power supply.
• Do not touch the appliance’s plug with wet hands.
Never take hold of the appliance if it has fallen into water. Immediately
disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
Any repairs or housing opening may be carried out by professionals and
relevant workshops only.
Do not transport the appliance, holding it by the power cord.
Do not allow the power cord to come into contact with heat sources or sharp
edges.
Do not bend, pinch nor knot the power cord. 105922 3 / 22
Safety
EN
Always completely unwind the power cord.
Never place the appliance or other objects on the power cord.
Always take hold of the plug to disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
Flammable Materials
Never subject the appliance to contact with high temperature sources, e.g.:
oven, furnace, open flame, heat generating devices, etc.
To avoid fire hazard, clean the appliance regularly.
Do not cover the appliance with, e.g., aluminium foil or cloths.
Use the appliance only with materials designated to this end and with correct
temperature settings. Materials, groceries and left-overs remaining in the appliance may catch fire.
Never use the appliance near flammable or inflammable materials, e.g.: petrol,
spirit, alcohol, etc. High temperature triggers evaporation of these materials, and, as a result of contact with sources of ignition, an explosion may occur.
In case of fire, disconnect the appliance from the power supply before
attempting suitable fire-extinguishing actions.
Never attempt to extinguish fire with water if the appliance is connected to the
power supply. Following extinction of fire, ensure sufficient fresh air inflow.
Safety of Induction Plate Operation
During operation, the heating area is getting very hot.
Information: Induction cooker does not generate heat in the process of cooking. Nevertheless, the temperature of cookware heats up the heating area and the surface remains hot after use. Do not touch any hot surfaces of the appliance.
You may transport and clean the appliance after it cools down entirely.
It is prohibited to sprinkle hot surfaces with cold water or flammable liquids.
Do not put metal kitchen utensils, lids, knifes nor any other metal objects on the
heating area. These objects might heat up after switching the appliance on.
Remember that wearable items, e.g. rings, watches etc., may heat up when they
are close to the cooker’s plate.
In order to avoid overheating, do not place any aluminium foil or metal plates on
the heating surface of the appliance.
Do not heat up sealed containers, e.g. canned food, on the heating area of the
induction cooker. Resulting overpressure may cause explosion (rupture) of a container or a can. The canned food is best to open it, put it in a pot filled with water and place the pot on a heating area in order to heat it up.
4 / 22 105922
Safety
EN
The heating area is made of a temperature-resistant glass. In case of damage,
even if it is only a small fracture, the device should be immediately disconnected from the power supply and you should contact the service company.
Electromagnetic Fields
Magnetized items, e.g. credit cards, data storage devices or calculators, may
not be placed in an immediate vicinity of the switched on appliance. Magnetic field might damage them.
Do not open the bottom cover!
Cookware should always be placed in the middle of the cooking area, so that
pot bottom covered the electromagnetic field to the maximum extent.
Scientific researches proved that induction cookers pose no threat.
Nevertheless, people with cardiac pacemaker should keep a distance of at least 60 cm from the working appliance.

5 Installation and operation

5.1 Installation

Unpacking / Positioning
Unpack the appliance, remove all external and internal packaging elements and
shipment safeguards.
If the appliance is covered with a protective film, remove it. Remove the film
slowly, so no glue residues are left. Remove any glue residues with the use of a suitable solvent.
Be careful not to damage the rating plate and warning labels fixed on the
appliance.
Never place the appliance in humid or wet environment.
Place the appliance in a way making the connections easily accessible, so that
they may be quickly disconnected if such a need arises.
The appliance should be placed on surfaces that are:
even, with sufficient bearing capacity, resistant to water, dry and resistant
to high temperatures;
– sufficiently large, and thus enabling usage of the appliance with no
problems;
easily accessible; well ventilated.
12 / 22 105922
Installation and operation
EN
Maintain sufficient clearance from table edges. The appliance might turn over
and fall down.
Do not place the appliance in the vicinity of devices or objects that are sensitive
to magnetic fields (e.g. radio, television, etc.).
Leave at least 5 -10 cm clearance from flammable walls and other objects.
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.
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.
