Table-1: Preset operating times when you
forget to turn off the hob

Using the induction hotplates
safely and efficiently

Operating principle: Because of its operating

principle, induction hob directly heats the pan.
Therefore, it has many advantages compared to

other types of hobs. It is more efficient and the

surface of the hob is cooler.

Your induction hob is equipped with superior
safety systems that will allow you to use your
appliance with maximum safety.

The hob control has a limitation of the operating

time. If one or more hotplates are inadvertently

not switched off , hotplate will be automatically
deactivated after a certain amount of time. (see
following Table-1).

Meantime; If a timer was associated with the

hotplate, than a “00” will be displayed on the
timer display for 10 second. The limit of the
operating time depends on the temperature
setting selected by the manufacturer.

After the hotplate is switched off automatically
as described above it becomes ready to be
operated by the user again. Maximum operating
time is applied also for this heat setting.

Important: Your hob contains
zones of Ø 145, Ø180, Ø 210 and Ø 280 which
have induction features. Thanks to the induction
feature, each hotplate automatically detects
the diameter of the pan put on it. “Energy is

created only at places where the bottom
of the pan touches” and thus, energy is

consumed at the minimum level.

Pan choice:

You may only use pans suitable for induction
cooking on your induction hobs.

Pan test:

You can use the following methods to test if your
pan is compatible with the induction hob.

1. If your pan’s bottom holds a magnet, it is

suitable.
2 If the power grade ( ) does not flash when
you place your pan on the induction zone and
operate the zone, it is suitable.
On your induction hob, you can use steel, teflon
or special magnetic bottom aluminum pans,
compatibilities of which are indicated on their
labels. Glass, ceramic and earthenware as
well as non-magnetic stainless steel pans with
copper or aluminum bottoms cannot be used.

Pan recognition-focusing system

In an induction cooking, energy is given only to

the bottom of the pans and pots on the related
hotplate. The diameter of the pan is instantly
recognized by the induction system and only this

zone is heated automatically. If the cooking pan

is lifted from the hotplate during cooking, then
cooking is interrupted. Selected hotplate level
and “ ” flash alternatively.

Safe usage:

Preheat the hotplate at level 3 or 4 on which you
will use non-oil or less-oil covered non-sticking
pan (teflon type). Never use at level 8,9 and “P”
as this will damage your pan.
Do not put metal objects such as forks, knives or
pan covers on your hob as they will get hot.
Never use aluminum folio for cooking. Never
place products wrapped with aluminum folio on
the electrical hotplate.

Caution!
* If there an oven underneath your hob and
it is operating, then the sensors on the hob
may decrease the level or turn off the hob.
* When using the hob, do not leave objects
of magnetic characteristics (credit cards,
cassettes, etc.) on it.

(X= “0....9”)

After a successful calibration the function of
the hob is also guaranteed even with strong
illumination, for example with halogen spot with
reflector (50W).

In case of an error, the calibration is repeated

until the ambient conditions allow a successful
calibration. The operation of the hob control
is only possible, if the calibration of all sensors
were successfully completed.

After successful finished calibration process
the control tolerates a very high rate of ambient
light.

During the operation of the hob control, it
continuously adopts and recalibrates itself
towards the changes in the ambient conditions.

Application Example:

The calibration performs without any
problems if the following illumination
is present: Illumination through a light bulb

without reflector (100W, opal) in a distance of 70
cm above the glass ceramic hob.

Please see Table 3 for information
on explanations related to the
error messages that can appear
on the touch control display.

• In the event that the touch control

surface is closed for a period longer than
10 seconds, the entire control system will
be deactivated and a warning signal will
sound. Also “F” flashes on the hotplate
display.

• If the surface of the touch control is

exposed to dense vapour, the entire control
system will be deactivated and a warning
signal may be given.

• Keep the surface of the touch panel clean.

Otherwise, malfunctioning may occur.

Noises

Some sounds may be heard from induction
heated hob. Such sounds are normal and a part
of cooking with induction. Such sounds;

• may be intensified when the level is in high

power position.

• may arise from the structural materials of the

pan.

• In low power positions, a regular on-off sound

can be heard due to the operating principle.

• Sound can occur while heating an empty pan.

Such sound will disappear when you add water
or food in it.

• Noise of the fan which is used to cool the

electronic system can be heard.

Sensor Calibration and Error
messages

The hob control performs an automatic
calibration in reference to the sensor-, glass­and ambient conditions after the main voltage
is applied. Do not cover the glass area of the

sensor during the calibration. In addition, the

hob control must not be exposed to strong
illumination, like sunlight, strong halogen lights
and etc.

Care and Maintenance

Ceramic hob care

The ceramic glass surface is tough in everyday
use and its flat surface makes it easy to clean
but please follow the following precautions.

• Immediately disconnect the appliance

from the mains if a crack is detected
on the ceramic glass surface.

• Keep children away from hot

surfaces.

• In order to avoid the hobs get soiled,

make sure the bottoms of the utensils and
the hob surfaces are clean and dry before
use.

• Do not use the surfaces for food

preparation such as cutting bread or slicing
vegetables and fruit.

• Do not use the surface for storing or any

other non-cooking purpose.

• Rubbing or dropping sharp edged pots

onto the surfaces may cause damage.

• Do not place any material on the surface,

such as plastic, aluminum, etc.
Any such material that may have melted on
the surface should immediately be removed
with a hob scraper.

• Never use a dishcloth or sponge to clean

the ceramic hob as these may leave a layer
of soiled detergent on the hotplate which
will burn and discolor the next time the hob
is operated.

• Avoid heating up empty enamel pots.

• Splashes may damage the ceramic

surface and can cause fire.

Pan size

For maximum efficiency and safety, use the
recommended pan sizes for each hotplate.

• Use pans which have sufficient capacity

for the amount of food being cooked so

they don’t boil over and cause unnecessary

cleaning.

• Do not place lids on the burners.

Always position pans centrally over the
hotplates. When transferring pans from one
hotplate to another, always lift the pans and
never slide them.

• Do not use aluminum-bottomed pots.

(This results in the deterioration of the
ceramic glass surface).

• Use the pans (pots) described in pan

choice section. Do not use pots made from
materials such as “boron glass”, or “Pyrex”,
which are generally oven-type containers.

• Do not use pots

that have concave or
convex bottoms.

• Optimum efficiency

is achieved by using
pans that match
the diameters of the
hotplates.

Deep fat frying

• Never fill the pan more than the

one-third full of fat or oil.

• Never leave unattended during

heating or cooking.

• Do not fry too much food, particularly the

frozen food, at the same time. This only
lowers the temperature of the oil and results
in foods that absorbed too much oil.

• Always dry food thoroughly before frying

and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat.
Frozen foods in particular will cause frothing
and spitting if added too quickly.

• Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.

• Keep the outside of the pan clean and

free from streaks of oil or fat.

• Oil may catch fire if you use your product

for a long time with pans which are not
suitable.

In the event a frying pan flames up or other
pan catches fire:

1. Switch off the hob

2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or

damp cloth.

Do not use water on the fire.
Leave the pan to cool for at least
30 minutes.

Almost all burns and injuries in such events
are caused invariably by picking up the
burning pan and rushing outside with it.

Cleaning

Disconnect the appliance from mains
before cleaning.

• Before starting to clean the appliance,

make sure that all controls are in OFF
position.

• Make sure the hob is sufficiently cool

before you start cleaning.

• Never mix different cleaning products as

different active ingredients may react with
unforeseen results.

Exterior

Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior of
your appliance. Never use any sharp tools,
abrasive household cleaners or detergents
for cleaning. Use a suitable washing liquid
for dried, hard stains.

Glass-ceramic Surface

Clean dirt daily to avoid them being burnt
on.

1. Always wipe the surface of the hob fully
with a clean cloth wrung out in clean water
(as residue could damage the ceramic
glass surface next time the hob is used).

2. Wipe the surface dry with a soft cloth.

• Do not use steel wool, abrasive

powders, detergents or bleach-based
cleaning agents as these will damage
the surface.

• You can use a ceramic hob scraper

(available at supermarkets) to remove
spilled food remains and stubborn marks
from the surface.

• In cleaning surfaces that are

stainless, do not use cleaning agents
containing acid or chlorine. As you
clean, take care to wipe in a single
direction with the aid of a soft,

soapy cloth and liquid (nonabrasive)

detergent.

• Sugar-based food such as custard

and syrup should immediately be
scraped off without waiting for the
surface to cool down. Otherwise the
hob may be permanently damaged.

• Cleaning material that is suitable for

ceramic hobs may damage other parts
of your appliance, so take care with
surrounding parts.

• Do not use any steam or spray cleaners

for cleaning the device.

Over time...

• Slight discoloration on coatings and on

other surfaces may occur in time. This does
not affect the operation of the appliance.

• Discolorations and marks that occur on

the glass ceramic surface are normal and
not a fault.

Warnings related to hob

Please store the hob scraper away
from the reach of children.

If the hob does not work

If the appliance does not operate check

the following:

• There may be a power failure.

• The fuse may be blown/circuit breaker

may be tripped/main distribution switch
may be turned off.

• Over heating production may exist. Wait

until your hob cools down.

• The pan may not be suitable. Check your

pan.

If the hotplate displays continuously;

• There may not be a pan on the active

hotplate.

• Your pan may not be compatible with

induction hob.

• Pan may not be centered correctly on

the hotplate or the bottom of the pan is not
wide enough for the selected hotplate.

• Pan or the hotplate may be too hot; wait

until it cools down.

If the selected hotplate turns off
suddenly;

• Time of operation of the selected hotplate

may have elapsed.

• Over heating production may exist. Wait

until your hob cools down.

• Something might have touched the touch

control.

Pan does not heat although the
hotplate is turned on;

• Your pan may not be compatible with

induction hob.

• The bottom of the pan may not be wide

enough for the selected hotplate.

• Pan may not be centered correctly on the

hotplate.

If does not appear on the active
hotplate display although there is no
pan on it;

• If the hob is supplied through two phases,

one of the phases may have failed.

If none of the above conditions exist, then

switch off and on your hob by means of the
touch-control or disconnect the hob from
the power supply and connect again after a
few seconds.

If the cooling fan keeps on working
after the hob is turned off;

This is not a failure. It is quite normal. It will

continue cooling until the hob comes down
to the normal temperature.

Please ensure that the above checks have
been made since service charges may
apply if no fault is found.

If the appliance is still not operating after all

checks are made, please contact with your
customer services.

Performance characteristics
when in use

• It is normal for the metal parts to produce

noise when in use due to expansion and
contraction.

• If, whilst cooking, the produced steam

comes into contact with cool surfaces
on the outside of the appliance, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This
is quite normal and is not a fault.
