Electromagnetic Interference

9 WARNING

This induction cooktop generates and uses ISM frequency energy that heats cookware by using an electromagnetic field. It has been tested and complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules for ISM equipment. This induction cooktop meets the FCC requirements to minimize interference with other devices in residential installation. Induction cooktops may cause interference with television or radio reception. If interference occurs, the user should try to correct the interference by:

▯ Relocating the receiving antenna

of the radio or television.

▯ Increasing the distance between

the cooktop and the receiver.

9 CAUTION

Persons with a pacemaker or similar medical device should exercise caution when standing near an induction cooktop while it is in use. Consult your doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker or similar medical device for additional information about its effects with electromagnetic fields from an induction cooktop.

9 WARNING

Hazard due to magnetism!

The wireless temperature sensor is magnetic. The magnetic elements can damage electronic implants such as pacemakers or insulin pumps. People with electronic implants should therefore not put the temperature sensor in the pockets of their clothes and should maintain a minimum distance of 4" (10 cm) with respect to their pacemaker or similar medical device.

▯ Connecting the receiver into an

outlet different than the cooktop.

It is the user’s responsibility to correct any interference.

Energy-Saving Advice

Cooking with induction

Cooking with inducti on

Advantages of Induction Cooking

▯ Place a lid on cookware. Cooking with an uncovered

pan will result in a considerable increase in energy use. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.

▯ Use cookware equipped with a solid, flat bottom.

Curved pan bases increase energy consumption.

▯ The diameter of the pan base must match the size of

the cooking zone. Note: The manufacturer normally indicates the pan's upper diameter. This is normally greater than the diameter of the pan's base.

▯ Choose cookware of a size suited to the amount of

food you are going to cook. A large pan that is only half full will use a lot of energy.

▯ Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves

energy, and vegetables retain a larger percentage of their vitamins and minerals.

▯ Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If

the power level is too high, energy is wasted.

Induction cooking is fundamentally different from traditional cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the cookware. This offers numerous advantages:

▯ Saves time when boiling and frying.

▯ Saves energy.

▯ Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not

burn on as quickly.

▯ Heat control and safety – the cooktop increases or

decreases the amount of heat supplied as soon as the user changes the setting. If the cookware is removed, the induction burner immediately interrupts the heat supply without it having been switched off.

Cookware

Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking, such as:

▯ Cookware made from enameled steel

▯ Cookware made from cast iron

▯ Special induction-compatible cookware made from

stainless steel.

To find out whether your cookware is suitable for induction cooking, check whether a magnet is attracted to the base of the item or refer to the manufacturer's specifications.

Some induction cookware does not have a fully ferromagnetic base:

▯ If the base of the cookware is only partially

ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic will heat up. This may mean that heat will not be distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.

Cooking with induction en-us



▯ The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the

material from which the base of the cookware is made contains aluminum, for example. This may mean that the cookware will not become sufficiently hot or even that it will not be detected.

Unsuitable Cookware

Do not ever use adapter plates for induction or cookware made of:

▯ Traditional stainless steel

▯ Glass

▯ Clay

▯ Copper

▯ Aluminum

Properties of the base of the cookware

Empty cookware or cookware with a thin base

Do not heat empty cookware and do not use cookware that has a thin base. The cooktop is equipped with an internal safety system. However, an empty item of cookware can heat up so quickly that the automatic switch-off function has no time to react and an excessively high temperature is reached. This could melt the base of the cookware and damage the glass plate. If this happens, switch off the cooktop and do not touch the cookware. If the cooktop no longer works once it has cooled down, contact Customer Support.

Pot detection

The cooktop uses the ferromagnetic diameter and material of the base of the cookware to automatically detect the position, size and shape of the cookware being used. Cookware with a base measuring 3½" to 13½" (90 to 340 mm) in diameter is suitable for use.

FP

LQ

The properties of the base of the cookware can affect the cooking result. Cookware made of materials that distribute heat evenly, such as saucepans with a stainless steel sandwich base, save time and energy.

Cookware with a completely flat base works best. If the base of the cookware is uneven or embossed, this will reduce the heat supplied.

No cookware/cookware of an unsuitable size

Always place cookware inside the usable area of the cooking surface. If the cookware is not positioned correctly, is made of an unsuitable material or is not the right size, the Õ symbol appears next to the cooking zone display. Move the cookware or try again with a different pot or pan.

If the active cookware is lifted from the cooking surface for longer than 30 seconds, the cooking zone automatically switches off.

Note: The cooking zone displays may show a size and shape that is different from the cookware actually being used. This is normal and does not affect the functioning of the hob. For more information, see the section entitled

en-us Cooking sensor mode

Cooking sensor mode

The cooking sensor processes make cooking easy and

produce exceptional results.

The wireless cooking sensor measures the temperature of the cookware continuously. This allows cooking to be controlled and the temperature to be maintained at the required level at all times in order to prevent excessively vigorous boiling and to achieve perfect cooking results.

You can add your food once the selected temperature has been reached. The temperature is automatically kept constant without you having to change the heat setting.

Cooking sensor mode is available anywhere on the cooking surface if you have a wireless cooking sensor.

The wireless cooking sensor forwards the temperature of the cookware to the control panel.

The cooktop has a wireless cooking sensor. If required, more cooking sensors can be purchased from specialist retailers, or through Customer Service or our online shop. You can use up to three cooking sensors at the same time.

Note: You can order it by specifying the reference number CA060300.

For more information about the cooking sensor, see the section entitled ~ "Wireless cooking sensor"

Cooking sensor mode en-us

Advantages

▯ The cooking position is only powered when this is

necessary to maintain the temperature. This saves energy.

▯ The temperature is maintained continuously. This

prevents the food from boiling over. It also means that you do not have to change the temperature setting.

▯ Cooking Sensor mode will tell you when the water or

oil has reached the optimal temperature for adding the food (see the exceptions where the food should be added at the very beginning).

Notes

▯ Use pots or cookware with a thick, flat base. Do not

use pots with a thin or deformed base.

▯ Fill the pot so that the contents reach high enough to

cover the cooking sensor's silicone patch.

▯ Do not remove the cooking sensor from the pot during

cooking.

▯ Remove the cooking sensor from the pot after

cooking. Be careful as the cooking sensor may be very hot.

Tips for cooking with Cooking Sensor mode

▯ Keeping warm/heating: Suitabel for portions of frozen

products, e.g. spinach. Place the frozen product in the cookware. Add the volume of water specified by the manufacturer. Cover the cookware with a lid. Select the temperature recommended in the table.

▯ Simmering: This cooking method is suitable for

cooking food at low temperatures, thickening sauces, reducing stews and cooking with milk. Select the temperature recommended in the table for the food you want to cook.

▯ Boiling: This cooking method allows you to boil water

with a lid on without it boiling over. This temperature control allows water to be boiled more efficiently. Select the temperature recommended in the table.

▯ Cooking in a pressure cooker: Follow the

manufacturer's recommendations. After the signal tone sounds, continue cooking for the recommended time. Select the temperature recommended in the table.

▯ Deep fat frying: It is recommended that you heat oil

with a lid on. Once the signal tone has sounded, remove the lid and add the food. Select the temperature recommended in the table for the food you want to cook.

Notes

▯ Always cook with the lid on except when using the

"Deep fat frying" function.

▯ If an audible signal does not sound, make sure there

is a lid on the pot. If there is a lid on the pot, the appliance may have reached its maximum power consumption or the “Power management” setting may have been activated. This may affect the time required to reach the selected temperature. Switch off or reduce the temperature of the cooking positions on which the other pots are placed. See the section entitled ~ "Basic settings"

▯ Never leave oil unattended when it is being heated.

Use oil that is suitable for deep fat frying. Do not mix different cooking fats and oils – e.g. oil and lard – as such mixtures may foam up when hot.

▯ If you are not satisfied with the cooking result, e.g.

when boiling potatoes, next time use more water but keep the recommended temperature setting.

Setting the Boiling Point

The point at which water starts to boil depends on the height of your home above sea level. If the water is boiling too vigorously or not vigorously enough, you can set the boiling point. Proceed as follows:

▯ Touch the t button and select the basic setting

Cooking sensor calibration.

▯ The basic setting is set to 650 - 1300 ft (200-400 m) by

default. If your home is between 650 - 1300 ft (200400 m) above sea level, you do not need to set the boiling point. If it is not, select the setting that matches your home's height above sea level.

Note: A temperature setting of 212° F (100°C) is sufficient for efficient boiling, even if the water does not boil very vigorously. However, the boiling point can be changed. For example, you can set a lower altitude if you want the water to boil more vigorously.

Setting procedure

1. Attach the wireless cooking sensor to the cookware;

see the section entitled ~ "Preparing and Caring for the Wireless Cooking Sensor"

2. Fill the cookware with a sufficient amount of liquid,

put the lid on and place it on the cooking surface. See the section entitled ~ "Attaching the Wireless Cooking Sensor".

Daily Cleaning

Note: Recommended cleaners indicate a type of cleaner

and do not constitute an endorsement of a specific brand.

Glass Ceramic Cooktop

9 CAUTION

Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while the surface is hot; use only the razor blade scraper. The resulting fumes can be hazardous to your health. Heating the cleaner can chemically attack and damage the surface.

Clean the surface when it is completely cool, with the following exception: remove dry sugar, sugar syrup, tomato products and milk immediately with the razor blade scraper (see cleaning chart).

Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or a paper towel. Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar if smudge remains; rinse.

Cleaning Guidelines

When using a cleaner, use only a small amount; apply to a clean paper towel or cloth. Wipe on the surface and buff with a clean dry towel.

For best results, use cleaners such as glass ceramic cooktop cleaner, BonAmi®, Soft Scrub® (without bleach), and white vinegar.

Avoid these Cleaners

▯ Glass cleaners which contain ammonia or chlorine

bleach. These ingredients may damage or permanently stain the cooktop.

▯ Caustic cleaners - cleaners such as Easy Off® may

stain the cooktop surface.

▯ Abrasive cleaners.

▯ Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges such as

Scotch Brite® can scratch and/or leave metal marks.

▯ Soap-filled scouring pads such as SOS® can scratch

the surface.

▯ Powdery cleaners containing chlorine bleach can

permanently stain the cooktop.

▯ Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or WD-40.

Apply a small amount of the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. When dry, buff surface with a clean paper towel or cloth.

Cleaning Chart

Type of Soil Possible Solution

Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or tomato spills. Melted plastic film or foil. All these items REQUIRE IMMEDIATE REMOVAL. Failure to remove these immediatly can permanently damage the surface.

Remove these types of spills while the surface is hot using the razor blade scraper. Use a new, sharp razor in the scraper. Remove pan and turn off the cooking zone. Wearing an oven mitt, hold scraper at 30° angle, using care not to gouge or scratch the glass. Push soil off the heated area. After the surface has cooled, remove the residue and apply the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.

9 WARNING

Risk of injury!

The blade is extremely sharp. Risk of cuts. Protect the blade when not in use. Replace the blade immediately when any imperfections are found. Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

Burned-on food soil, dark streaks, and specks Soften by laying a damp paper towel or sponge on top of

soil for 30 minutes. Use a plastic scrubber and glass ceramic cooktop cleaner or use the razor blade scraper. Rinse and dry.

en-us Clean

Type of Soil Possible Solution

Greasy spatters Use a soapy sponge or cloth to remove grease; rinse thor-

oughly and dry. Apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.

Metal marks: Iridescent stain Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless steel bases may

leave marks. Treat immediately after surface has cooled with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. If this does not remove the marks, try a mild abrasive (Bon Ami®, Soft Scrub® without bleach) with a damp paper towel. Rinse and reapply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. Failure to remove metal marks before the next heating makes removal very difficult.

Hard water spots:

Hot cooking liquids dripped on surface

Surface scratches:

Small scratches are common and do not affect cooking. They become smoother and less noticeable with daily use of the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.

Minerals in some water can be transferred onto the surface and cause stains. Use undiluted white vinegar, rinse and dry. Recondition with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. Remove boilovers and stains before using the cooktop again.

Apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner before using to remove sand-like grains and grit such as salt and seasoning. Scratches can be reduced by using pans with bases that are smooth, clean, and dry before use. Use recommended glass ceramic cooktop cleaner daily.

Maintenance

This appliance requires no maintenance other than daily cleaning. For best results, apply cooktop cleaning cream daily.

NOTICE

Diamond rings may scratch the surface.

Examine the appliance after unpacking it. In the event of transport damage, do not plug it in.

Fire Safety

Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot surface element, burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.

If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan, be certain that flammable materials such as window coverings do not blow over or near the burners or elements. They could catch on fire.

In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.

Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite.

Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

9 WARNING

Cooking Safety

9 WARNING

When using the timer, always supervise the cooktop and do not allow anything to boil over or burn. Boilovers can cause smoke and some foods and oils may catch fire if left on high temperature settings.

4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.

9 WARNING

Risk of injury!

9 WARNING

Risk of injury!

Never use the appliance if liquids or foods have spilled around the control panel. Always turn off the cooktop and dry the control panel.

Injury and damage to the appliance may occur if control elements are not used properly.

If the cooktop turns off automatically and can no longer be operated, it may turn itself on unintentionally at a later point. Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact Customer Support for service.

Burn Prevention

Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.

Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil slowly, on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.

Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.

9 WARNING

Risk of burns!

9 WARNING

Risk of burns!

If the display does not work when a cooking area is heating up, disconnect the circuit breaker or fuse in the electrical panel. Contact an authorized servicer.
