ELECTRIC INDUCTION COOKING
SELECTED MODELS ONLY
The ceramic Induction hob fully complies with current legislation regarding electro-magnetic interference and is designed not to
interfere with other electronic appliances providing these comply with the same legislation.
As the hob generates magnetic fields in the immediate vicinity, Pacemakers and Active Heart Implants must be designed to
comply with relevant regulations. If in doubt, you should consult the manufacturer of your device or your Doctor.
OPERATION INSTRUCTION
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The induction cooking method rapidly transfers the energy needed for cooking directly to the pan, so the cooktop surface
remains cool but does build up some residual heat as the pan heats up. The result is a fast, cost effective and accurate cooking
method. Induction compatible vessels must be used.
SAFETY CUT-OUT INDUCTION
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
If the induction burner is accidentally left on, the control automatically turns it off after a certain time has elapsed. The table
below indicates the time interval, which depends on the power level setting.

AUTOMATIC PARBOILING (SELECTABLE AS PER TABLE) - INDUCTION
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When automatic parboiling is activated, the power of the cooking zone is switched to 100% for a period of time depending on
the selected onboiling stage. As soon as the parboiling time is over, the preselected onboiling stage is valid again.
10
ELECTRIC INDUCTION COOKING
SELECTED MODELS ONLY
PROCEDURE TO START PARBOILING - INDUCTION
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Automatic parboiling is activated by turning the knob anti clockwise briefly, the `A` symbol will appear. The required on-boiling
stage is selected by turning knob clockwise which is shown on the display. The `A` symbol appears after 1 second upon
releasing
the knob.
The on-boiling stage can be adjusted within 15 seconds after activation without cutting off the parboiling boost. If another
selection is made after 15 seconds the knob can be used to select an even lower on-boiling stage which however cuts off the
Automatic parboiling function at the same time.
Turning the knob higher on boiling stage (even after the above 15 seconds) can be selected. This leads to the parboiling time
being automatically brought in line with the currently selected on-boiling stage.
Once the parboiling has ended only the selected cooking stage is indicated on the display.
BOOSTER FUNCTIONS - INDUCTION
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The `Booster` function for the burner is enabled by turning the knob clockwise. When this function is enabled, the display
shows the letter `P`.
By means of this function the cooking zone is enabled to receive power > 100%.
The Boosting time is limited to 10 minutes to protect cooking utensils. After the booster is switched off automatically, the
cooking zone continues operation on nominal power. The booster can be reactivated provided that the temperature sensors in
the electronics and if the coils have the capacity.
When a pan is removed from the cooking zone during boosting, the no pan symbol is displayed and boosting time continues to
count down. When a pan is replaced within the boost time it will reactivate.
If the booster temperature limit of the electronics or coil on the boosted cooking zone is exceeded, the booster is cut off
automatically and reset to nominal power. While one of the two temperature limits remains exceeded the booster cannot be
activated. In this case the booster is indicated when the knob is turned clockwise which is followed by an automatic reduction
on the display.
Child lock function on HIXG905B1 is activated by turning control knob clockwise until an “L” symbol appears. Repeat this
process to unlock.
This is the same process for the HIXG903B1 using the far right control knob.

SELECTED MODELS ONLY
SYSTEM TEMPERATURE CONTROL - INDUCTION
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
• Sensors situated inside the top constantly measures the temperature of the generator`s electronic circuits. In the event
of these circuits overheating the system reacts as follows:
• When the first temperature is exceeded the system automatically switches off the booster. If activated, this initiates a
flashing `P` on the respective display showing that the booster cannot be responded to at the moment. When exceeding
a second medium temperature limit, the induction system reduces the power outlet to avoid any temperature increase.
When the temperature of the cooking zone exceeds a third temperature limit, the cooking zone is cut off automatically
from the induction system. The corresponding display indicates a flashing error code E2, possibly alternating with `H`.
The overheating of the circuits definitely indicates an anomaly, and means that the cook top has not been installed
properly or the openings for air circulation are not large enough.
