USER SAFETY

BURN HAZARD - Cookware can get very hot during operation.

Avoid wearing loose-fitting garments or long sleeves while cooking. They could ignite. For personal safety, wear proper apparel while using the appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, step on, lean against, or sit on any part of the appliance. This may result in damage to the appliance or personal injury.

FIRE SAFETY

To reduce the risk of a grease fire, do not leave surface burners unattended at high settings. Always turn on the ventilation hood when cooking. Clean vent hood grease filters frequently -

grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the fan or filters. Use the appropriate pan size for the burner being used. Keep the appliance zone clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other

flammable vapors and liquids. NEVER store flammable liquids and materials in, above, or on the range, or near cooking surfaces. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air of the appliance.

ALWAYS have a working smoke detector near the kitchen. ALWAYS have an appropriate dry-chemical fire extinguisher nearby. Smother fire or flames

using the lid of the utensil (pot or pan), a cookie sheet or metal tray. Then shut off the burner. Use an extinguisher, or baking soda if the fire is small and relatively contained. DO NOT USE WATER ON A GREASE FIRE. Doing so may result in spreading the fire elsewhere.

NEVER pick up a flaming pan. You may spill the grease on yourself and be severely burned.

If accessible, turn off the ventilation hood during a fire, but do not reach through the flames to do this. IF THE FLAMES DO NOT GO OUT - EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

In the event of personal clothing or hair catching fire, drop and roll immediately to smother the flames. Seek medical attention if necessary.

SAFETY DURING CLEANING

Only clean the appliance as directed in the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section of this manual.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop. Steam could penetrate into electrical components and cause a short circuit and/or shock hazard.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard objects such as brushes or scrapers, or sharp metal tools to clean the glass. Scratches could cause the glass to shatter.

Wait until the appliance is completely cool before using any aerosol-type cleaners. Many of these cleaners use flammable propellants which could ignite in the presence of heat.

PROPER USAGE

Always position the handles of pot and pans so they do not extend over adjacent work zones or over the edge of the rangetop. This is to avoid knocking over hot contents which could burn you, or result in a fire.

HOW INDUCTION HEATING WORKS

INDUCTION

Heating by induction is the most efficient form of cooking available.

The heat is generated by an electromagnetic field, directly on the bottom of the pan or pot used.

The surface which is free from contact remains virtually cold.

When the cooking time is up and the container is removed, there is no residual heat. It is efficient because there is no waste of energy due to dispersion, as happens with gas burners. It is 30 to 50% faster than normal cooktops using HGL technology and allows energy savings of up to 25%.

If liquid overflows from the container, it does not stick to the surface of the cooktop, because this is just slightly warm.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

This is based on the electromagnetic properties of most cooking containers.

The electronic circuit governs the operation of the coil (inductor), creating a magnetic field.

The heat is transmitted by the container to the food.

The cooking process takes place as follows:

• Minimum dispersion (high performance);

• Removing of the pan (simply lifting it) automatically stops the system;

• The electronic system allows maximum flexibility and precision of regulation.

BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP FOR THE FIRST TIME

All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the manufacturing process.

If present, remove all packing and literature from the cooktop surface.

Clean your glass top before the first time you use it. A thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended. It only takes a minute and puts a clean, shiny coating on the glass top before its initial use.

• There may be a slight odor during the first several uses - this is normal and will disappear.

• Optimum cooking results depend on the proper cookware being selected and used.

• The cooking surface can get hot from the cookware and remain hot for some time after cooking zones have been turned off.

• The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable material resistant to impact but not unbreakable if a pan or other object is dropped on it.

• Do not allow pans to boil dry. This can damage the pan, element and /or cooktop.

• Do not slide cookware across cooking surface, it may scratch the glass

• Using cast iron cookware on the glass cooktop is not recommended. Cast iron retains heat and may result in cooktop damage.

POWER SHARING

Four burner cooktops are divided into two separate heating zones.

Five burner cooktops are divided into 3 zones. One generator controls 2 elements, or two cooking zones within a heating section share the power of one generator. Power Sharing is activated when both elements in the same cooking zone are activated and one element is set for Boost (P). The element that is not set for Boost will change to a lower power level. This is called Power Sharing.

COOKWARE “NOISE”

When using adjacent elements that are set at certain power level setting, magnetic fields may interact and produce a low whistle or intermitted “hum”. Pans that completely cover the element ring will produce less noise. A low “humming” noise is normal particularly on high settings. These noises can be reduced or eliminated by lowering or raising the power level settings of one or both of elements.

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR

This warns the user that the glass is hot in the cooking zone. The temperature is determined using a mathematical model and any residual heat is indicated with an “H” on the corresponding display.

Heating and cooling are calculated from the power level selected (from “0“ to “9“) and the relay

activation period.

After switching a cooking zone off, its display shows an “H” until the computed temperature in the zone falls below 140°F [60°C].

USER INSTRUCTIONS

PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENTAL SWITCHING ON

If a key is activated for about 10 seconds, the buzzer begins sounding until the key is released. The display shows an error code, which remains until the selector key for that zone is touched and released.

• If no cooking zone is activated within 10 seconds of switching on the touch control, the control returns to stand-by mode.

The ON/OFF key takes priority over all other keys, so the touch control can be switched off at any time, even in the case of multiple or continuous activation of the keys.

In stand-by mode, continuous activation of the keys will have no effect. However, before the electronic control can be switched on again, it must acknowledge that no key is active.

If the cooking zone has been in use and is hot, an “H” will appear on the display after the zone is turned off. It turns off after the zone has cooled.

PRECAUTIONS

• If there is even the tiniest crack in the ceramic glass surface, immediately disconnect the cooktop from the electricity supply;

• during operation, move any magnetic materials such as credit cards, computer disks, calculators, etc., away from the zone;

• never use cooking foil or rest products wrapped in foil directly on the cooktop;

• metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids must not be rested on the surface of the cooktop to prevent them from heating up;

• when cooking with non-stick cookware, without using water or oil, limit any preheating time to one or two minutes;

• when cooking foods which tend to stick to the bottom of the pan, start at minimum power and gradually increase the heat, stirring frequently;

• after use, turn off element manually (decreasing to “0”) rather than relying on the pan

detection sensor.

PANS

If a magnet is attracted to the bottom of your cookware then it is suitable for induction cooking.

• Try to use pans declared as suitable for induction cooking;

• flat, thick-bottomed pans will perform most effectively;

• a 8” [20 cm] diameter saucepan can benefit from maximum power;

• a small saucepan reduces the power but will not cause energy dispersion. The use of cookware with a diameter of less than 3” [12 cm] is not recommended;

• stainless steel cookware with multilayer bottom or ferrite stainless steel if the bottom indicates: for induction;

• cast iron containers, better with an enamelled bottom to avoid scratching the ceramic glass cooktop;

• containers made of glass, ceramic, terracotta, aluminium, copper or non-magnetic stainless steel (austenitic) are not recommended and are unsuitable unless using a Hestan-supplied or approved adapter kit.

MAINTENANCE

Traces of foil, food residues, splashes of fat, sugar or very sugary foods must be removed immediately from the cooktop using a scraper to avoid damaging the cooktop surface. Then clean with a proper ceran top cleaner and kitchen paper, rinse with water and dry with a clean cloth. Never use abrasive sponges or clothes and avoid using aggressive chemical cleansers such as OVEN

SPRAYS or STAIN REMOVERS. DO NOT USE STEAM

CLEANERS

TURNING THE COOKTOP ON AND OFF

The cooktop is turned on by touching the On/Off key (1), you will hear a short beep and the corresponding led lights up. After switching on, the touch control remains active for 10 seconds. If you do not select either a cooking zone or the timer, the touch control automatically returns to stand-by mode.

ACOUSTIC SIGNAL (BUZZER)

During use, the following activities are signalled by a buzzer:

• Normal touching of the keys with a short beep.

• If a key is held for more than 10 seconds, the buzzer will sound and an error symbol is displayed.

TURNING ON A COOKING ZONE

Position a pot and touch the selector key (8) for the cooking zone. Slide your finger on the power slider to the right to increase the cooking level (10), or slide your finger to the left to decrease it (9).

If a pot is not detected in the cooking zone, the display for that zone will alternate between the selected power level and the “missing pan” symbol.

TURNING OFF A COOKING ZONE

A single cooking zone can be turned off directly by touching the selector key (8) for the cooking zone that is working. Hot cooking zones will be displayed with a letter “H”. You can turn off all cooking zones immediately at any time using the power On/ Off key (1). If, during cooking, you inadvertently turn off the surface while using the controls, you can turn it on again with the On/Off key and you will have 6 seconds to touch the PAUSE key (6) that will be indicated by the (7) flashing of an indicator light above the key; doing so will turn the surface on again with the same settings it had before it was accidentally turned off.

POWER LEVEL

The power level of the cooking zone can be set from level 1 to level 9. A further level P (Power Booster) is available that allows a very rapid heating of food and, therefore, saves you time.

When the automatic preheating function is active, the power level shows a numeric value alternating with the letter “A”. See next page for more information.
