• The appliance may be built-in and connected to the power supply only by a qualifi ed technician.

• Particular areas of the cooktop surface (adjacent to the hotplates) are hot during operation.
Prevent the children to hang around the appliance and warn them properly against the danger of
burns.

• Hot oil ignites readily, so be sure have the preparation of such food (fries) under constant control.

• Hotplates may not be left in operation empty, without any dishes on top.

• Never use the appliance for heating the ambience.

• Never use the ceramic-glass cooktop as a working surface. Sharp objects may damage the
cooktop surface.

• Never place any metal objects upon the induction hotplate, such as knives, forks, spoons, pot
lids, and the like, as they may get very hot.

• Preparation of food in aluminum or plastic cookware is not allowed. Never place any plastic
objects or aluminum foil upon the cooktop surface.

• In case any other appliances are plugged in the electric mains close to the cooktop, prevent the
contact of the plug cable with the hot cooking zones.

• Never keep any fl ammable or temperature sensitive objects, like cleaning agents, sprays,
detergents, etc., below the appliance.

• Never use cracked or broken ceramic-glass cooktop. In case you notice any visible cracks on the
surface, cut the power supply immediately.

• In case of any malfunctions, disconnect the appliance from the power supply and call service
department.

• Ceramic glass hob is fi tted with four hotplates. Hob surface is
completely fl at and smooth, without edges to accumulate dirt.

• The hob is fi tted with high power induction hotplates. Heat is
generated directly at the bottom of the dish, where it is most
needed, without any losses through the ceramic glass surface.
This way the required extent of energy is considerably smaller
compared to traditional heaters, which operate on radiation
principle.

• Glass ceramic hotplate is not heated directly, but only by return
heat transmitted by the dish. This heat fi gures as “remaining
heat” after the hotplate is turned off. The induction hotplate
generates heat from the induction coil, installed underneath
the ceramic glass surface. The coil creates magnetic fi eld at
the bottom of the dish (which can me magnetized) which in
turn originates whirling fl ows of current which then heat the
hotplate.

• Induction hotplate will function perfectly only if appropriate
cookware is used.

• Dish should be in the middle of the hotplate during cooking.

• The appropriate cookware is the one which enables induction,
for example steel, enamel or steel alloy cookware. Pots made
from steel alloy with copper or aluminum bottom, or glass pots
are inappropriate.

• If you use the pressure cooker (“economy pot”) keep it under
close surveillance until propre pressure is obtained. Hotplate
should fi rst operate on maximum power, then follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and use the appropriate sensor to
decrease the power.

• When buying cookware, check if it bears the label “allows

induction”.

IMPORTANT!

• In case sugar or other heavily sweetened substance is spilled on the hotplate, wipe it
immediately and remove the sugar residues with a scraper although the cooking zone is still hot,
otherwise the hotplate may be damaged.

• Avoid cleaning the cooktop while the cooking zones are still hot, as you may damage the hob.

Magnet test

Use small magnet to test if the dish bottom is magnetic. Only
dishes where magnet sticks to the bottom are suitable for
induction cooking.

Dish recognition

One of great advantages of the induction hotplate is dish
recognition. Even if there are no dishes upon the hotplate, or
the dish diameter is smaller than the diameter of the relevant
hotplate, there are no thermal energy losses. When the hotplate
is on, the power indicator displays letter “U”. If you place the dish
over that hotplate within the following 10 minutes, the hotplate
recognizes the dish and turns on to the preset power value.
At the moment you remove the dish from the hotplate, power is
suspended. If you place smaller dish upon the hotplate and it
is recognized, the hotplate will only use the amount of energy
required to heat the dish according to its size.

Hotplate may be damaged if:

• it is turned on and left empty, or an empty dish is placed on it;

• you use clay dishes which leave scratches on the ceramic
glass surface;

• you fail to wipe the dish bottom dry prior placing it on the
ceramic glass hotplate; heat induction is obstructed and the
hotplate may be damaged;

• you fail to use the appropriate dishes that can be magnetized:
steel dishes, enamel or steel alloy dishes; induction hotplate
will not function otherwise.

Heating power of the hotplates may be set at nine different
levels. The following chart indicates illustrative use of each power
setting.
