Using the ceramic induction elements

Safety Precautions - Read before operating your cooktop

Your induction-cooking unit has been designed for residential use and food preparation, and all of the safety
parameters have been designed accordingly.
The unit incorporates numerous safety devices and controls, a few of which will be mentioned below:

- A number of sensors monitor the temperature of the internal components. If any of these sensors senses
that the component temperature is above the limit, the power output of the unit will automatically be reduced,
allowing the component to cool down. Once this is achieved, the unit will continue to operate normally at the
output level set initially by the operator..

-Each induction element is equipped with a sensor which is continuously monitoring the temperature of the
bottom of the pan to prevent the pan from overheating.

-Each induction element is equipped with a pan sensing device. This device will not allow the element to turn
on unless it senses an induction-compatible pot or pan on the element covering enough surface area. If no
pot/pan is detected, the digital display will flash indicating that there is no power on the element. Once an
induction-compatible piece of cookware is sitting properly on the element, the digital display will become
steady, and the cookware will start heating up. Note that a small object as a fork, a spoon, a piece of jewelry,
etc. will not be mistaken for a cooking utensil, and it will not trigger this sensor. Moreover, this device will
distinguish between pots and pans which are and are not suitable for induction cooking.

6

If a piece of cookware, which is not suitable for induction cooking, is placed on an element, there will be no
power output on the element.
We reserve the right to make any changes to internal components, as well as, to make any (cosmetic)
modifications on the outside in an effort to improve our products.
Users with pacemakers or defibrilators must consult with their pacemaker manufacturer or their physician
prior to using this cooktop which incorporates an induction heating source.

If a crack appears in the glass surface, disconnect the unit immediately to avoid any risk of electric shock. If
the unit is connected directly to supply inside a junction box, then disconnect its breaker, or remove fuses
manually.
Do not use your cooktop until the glass top has been replaced.

When cooking, never use aluminum foil, never place products wrapped in aluminum foil or products deep­frozen in aluminum packs on the cooktop.
Aluminum foil could melt and damage the vitroceramic glass beyond repair.

The Principle of Induction

When an induction element, also called: ‘a heating zone’ or simply: ‘a coil’ - is switched on, the appropriate
piece of cookware used, and a desired level of heating power selected, the electronic circuit unit (‘induction
generator’ or ‘inverter’) powers up the induction element which creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field
continuously changes in terms of frequency and intensity, and this creates induced ‘eddy’ currents in the
bottom of the pot or pan and ultimately results in heat. The heat is transferred directly to the food being
cooked.
Thus, induction heat makes the cookware a direct source of heat, featuring high level of efficiency with
extremely low energy loss and unparalleled heating level control.
With induction cooking there is very little ‘heating inertia’. Induction cooking elements do not incorporate a
heat generating element, unlike convectional electric rings, halogen or radiant elements etc, therefore, heat
levels can be changed very quickly.
For induction, energy efficiency is within a range of 90-95%, compared with 55-65% for conventional and
radiant element, or 45% - 55% for gas fueled burners. The energy efficiency contributes to substantial
energy savings, both beneficial to the owner as well as the environment.
Induction cooking elements are sensitive to the cookware type being used :

- If there is no cookware placed on the element, or if the cookware is not of induction grade, there will be no
power emitted by the element.

- If the the piece of cookware is placed partially on the element, or if it is smaller than the element, the
internal sensors will reduce power to the element.

- If the pot/pan is fully removed from the element, the power output will be instantaneously reduced to ‘0’.
The controls will turn the element off after a minute, unless the piece is returned onto the element.
When compared to other methods of cooking, induction cooking has a very low level of ambient heat, thus
making cooking more pleasurable, with a reduced need for ventilation.
Finally, the vitroceramic glass as a cooking surface barely becomes hot and this makes cleaning much
easier.

When using induction elements, some cookware may produce faint humming sound. This is a normal
occurrence. The noise is a result of vibrations caused by induced currents.

SET THE COOKING TEMPERATURE AS FOLLOWS

Set he heat setting the control knob.

OFF= element off
1= lowest setting
9= highest setting
B= Powerboost function
A= Heating accelerator

Led indicator

H = Residual heat
B = Powerboost Function

= Power ON

These knobs provide control of the induction cooking zones above each knob there is indication of the zone
controlled..
Push and turn the knob to the right to set the zone's operating power; the settings range from a minimum of
1 to a maximum of 9. (fig.10-11-12)

Heating accelerator

Each cooking zone is equipped with a heating accelerator.
This system allows the zone to be operated at peak power for a time proportional to the heating power
selected.
To start the heating accelerator, turn the knob to the left, select setting "A" and then release.
You now have 3 seconds to select the heating setting between 1 and 9.
While the heating accelerator is in operation, the heating level can be increased at any time. The "full power"
time will be modified accordingly. If the power is reduced by turning the knob anticlockwise, the heating
accelerator is automatically deactivated.

Powerboost Function

The power function allows the user to operate each heating zone continuously at the maximum power for a
time of no more than 10 minutes. This function can be used, for example, to bring a large amount of water to
the boil in a hurry, or to turn up the heat under meat.
Push and turn the knob clockwise and set heating level 9, then use the knob to set the "B" position and
release il. "B" appears on the corresponding zone display.
After 10 minutes, the power is reduced automatically, "B" led is switched off.
However, the power function can be turned ott at any time by reducing the heating level. .
When the power function is selected for one heating zone, the power absorbed by the second zone might
be reduced to supply the maximum available energy to the first zone.
If a pan is removed from the cooking zone while the power function is on, the function is switched off.

Child lock

The child lock function prevents switching on of the control unit, to avoid unwanted operation, for example by
children, While child lock is activated, no cooking zone can be used.
The child-lock mode is activated by overwinding the two knobs in anti-clockwise direction for mode than 1, 5
secs-alternatively: one knob for more 5 secs; AND less than 30 secs to avoid failure detection.
The child-lock is disabled in the same way.
Aktivation/disabling is only possible if both knob input units are in zero position.

8

Type of pans

This type of appliance can only operate with pans of special kinds.
The bottom of the pan must be iron or steel/iron to generate the magnetic field necessary for the heating
process
Vessels made from the following materials are not suitable:

 glass;
 porcelain;
 pottery;
 steel, aluminium or copper without magnetic bottom;

To check that a pan is suitable, simply piece a magnet close to its bottom:
if the magnet is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction cooking.
The pans used for cooking must have certain minimum diameters to ensure satisfactory operation.
Pans larger than the cooking zones can also be used, but it is important to ensure that the bottom of the
pan does not touch other cooking zones, and that it is always centred over the perimeter of the cooking
zone.
Use only vessels specially designed for induction cooking, with thick, completely flat bottom; if these are not
available, the pans used must not have crowned (concave or convex) bottom. (fig.13)

Residual heat

Each cooking zone is equipped with a device which warns of residual heat. After any cooking zone is
switched off, a ‘H’ may appear on the display. This warns that the cooking zone concerned is still very hot.
Cooking can be restarted while the ‘H’ is on.

Attention:

Take care not to spill sugar or sweet mixtures onto the hob during cooking, or to place materials or
substances which might melt (plastic or aluminium foil) on it; if this should occur, to avoid damage to the
surface, turn the heating off immediately and clean with the scraper supplied while the cooking zone is still
warm. If the ceramic hob is not cleaned immediately, residues may form which cannot be removed once the
hob has cooled.

Important!

Keep a close eye on children because they are unlikely to see the residual heat warming lights. The cooking
zones are still very hot for some time after use, even if they are switched off. Make sure that children never
touch them.

WARNING: Under no circumstance use aluminium foil or plastic containers to hold the food while cooking on
a glass-ceramic hob.
WARNING: Do not touch the cooking area as long as the light indicating residual heat on the glass-ceramic
hob, is “on”; this indicates that the temperature in the relative area is still high.

WARNING: Never place pan with bottoms which are not perfectly flat and smooth on the hob
WARNING: If you notice a crack in the ceramic hob, disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and
contact a service centre
WARNING: Your glass-ceramic hob is thermal shock resistant and resistant to both heat and cold.

If you drop a heavy pot on your hob it will not break.
On the contrary, if a hard object, such as the salt shaker or the spice bottle strikes the edge or the corner of
the hob, the hob may break.

WARNING: never use the glass-ceramic hob as support surface.

Matching Pots & Pans with Elements, etc.

The elements,14,5cm (5 3/4”), are best used:

- With small pieces of cookware - but normally not smaller then 10 cm (4”);

-For slow cooking and simmering (sauces, creams, etc.);

-For cooking small quantities of food.
Minimum 10cm (3 15/16”)pots, maximum 25cm (10”) pots.

The element 27cm (11”), are primarily designed for day -to-day cooking needs and most commonly used
pans 15 to 32cm (6 to 13") In diameter.

When cooking large quantities of food, it is always better to use a large diameter pot/pan covering the
element. Thus, better and more efficient heat distribution will be achieved and food will be cooked evenly.
