USER SAFETY

BURN HAZARD - Cookware can get very hot during operation.

Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the cooktop surface since they can get hot.

In general do not place any foil or metallic object except heating containers on the glass surface. If power is applied, it may heat, melt, or even burn.

DO NOT TOUCH ACTIVE COOKING ZONES OR AREAS NEAR THEM. Areas near cooking zones may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact cooking zones until the residual heat indicators have turned off.

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

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.

Keep the appliance zone clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. NEVER store flammable liquids and materials above, below, or on the appliance, or near cooking surfaces. Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation air of the appliance.

ALWAYS have a working smoke detector near the kitchen. ALWAYS have an appropriate (Type ABC, or type K) kitchen fire extinguisher nearby. NEVER pick up a flaming utensil. You may spill the grease on yourself and be severely burned.

Smother fire or flames using the lid of the cookware, a cookie sheet, or metal tray. Then

shut off the cooking zone.

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

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.

Remove any packing, labels, and literature from the cooktop surface.

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

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

• Optimum cooking result depends 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. Observe the warning symbols in the control area.

• The cooking surface is durable and resistant to impact, but not unbreakable. It can be damaged if a utensil or other object is dropped on it.

• Do not allow cookware to boil dry. This can damage the cookware and /or cooktop.

• Do not slide cookware across cooking surface, as it may scratch the cooktop.

COOKWARE NOISE

Some noise may occur from cookware when using the cooktop. It may vary according to cookware construction and power level.

In addition, the noise may vary according to the use of adjacent cooking zones. Possible noises include a low humming sound or whistle. A cookware piece that completely covers the cooking zone will produce less noise.

These noises may be reduced or eliminated by lowering or raising the power level settings of one or both of the adjacent cooking zones.

COOKWARE SIZE

Cookware must be at least the minimum size for the zone you use it on.

Full power may not be delivered to cookware with a base smaller than the cooking zone..

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 cookware used.

The surface, unless cookware is on it, remains virtually cold.

When the cooking time is up and the container is removed, there is little 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 cooktops using combustion burners and allows substantial energy savings.

If liquid overflows from the container, it is less likely to stick to the surface of the cooktop, because this is just slightly warm.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

This is based on the electromagnetic properties of most cookware.

The electronic circuit supplies power to the coil (inductor), creating a magnetic field, which heats the cookware.

As the cookware is heated, it heats the food.

Benefits include:

• High performance; the power goes into heating the food rather than heating the kitchen.

• Safety - removing the cookware (simply lifting it) automatically stops power to that cooking zone.

• Precision and flexibility through electronic control.

USING THE SMART INDUCTION COOKTOP

Cookware can be placed on a cooking zone before or after the cooktop is turned on.

Power is not delivered until the cooktop is turned on (1), the zone (with cookware piece present) is selected (17), and a power is set for that zone (9~10).

COOKWARE DETECTION

The cooktop will detect suitable cookware in any of the cooking zones. The system will only apply power to a cooking zone where cookware is detected.

USER INSTRUCTIONS

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

PROTECTION FROM ACCIDENTAL ACTIVATION

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 20 seconds of switching on the touch control, the

control returns to stand-by mode.

The main Power 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 recognize 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. The “H” turns off after the zone has cooled.

PRECAUTIONS

• If there is any visible crack or break in the cooktop surface, turn its circuit breaker OFF and call Hestan Customer Service;

• During operation, move any magnetic materials such as credit cards, computer disks, calculators, etc., away from all active cooking zones;

• 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 cookware, start at minimum power and gradually increase the heat, stirring frequently;

• After use, turn off the zone using the zone selector (17), sliding power to “0”, or touching

the main Power key rather than relying on the cookware detection sensor.

USER INSTRUCTIONS

(CONTINUED)

TYPES OF COOKWARE

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

• Try to use cookware declared as suitable for induction cooking

• Flat, thick-bottomed cookware will perform most effectively

• A small cookware piece will accept less power than a large one. The preferred and minimum cookware sizes per cooking zone are shown in the table on page8.

• Stainless steel cookware with multilayer bottom or ferrite stainless steel may be used if the bottom indicates: for induction

• Cast iron containers need to have a smooth bottom, or better with an enameled bottom to avoid scratching the cooktop

• Containers made of glass, ceramic, terracotta, aluminum, copper or non-magnetic stainless steel (austenitic) are not recommended and are unsuitable for use on this cooktop.

CARING FOR THE COOKTOP

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. Sugars are easier to remove while the surface is still warm.

Then clean with a proper glass cooktop cleaner and paper towels, 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 Power key (1), you will hear a short beep and the indicator lights up. After switching on, the touch control remains active for 20 seconds. If you do not select either a cooking zone or the timer, the cooktop returns to stand-by mode.

ACOUSTIC SIGNAL (BUZZER)

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

• Normal keytouch sounds 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 cookware piece and touch the selector key (17) 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). The power level indicator (15) visually indicates the power selected, along with the numeric value in the power level display (14).

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

TURNING OFF A COOKING ZONE

A single cooking zone can be turned off directly by touching the selector key (17) 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 main Power key (1).

AUTOMATIC ZONE POWER-OFF

If a cooking zone is active but it doesn’t detect a pan for more than 30 seconds, it will shut off.

ACCIDENTAL POWER-OFF

If, during cooking, you inadvertently touch the main Power key and turn the cooktop off, you can resume with all settings intact as follows:

1) Touch the main Power key

- The Pause indicator will blink

2) Touch the Pause key within 6 seconds, before the Pause indicator stops blinking.

POWER LEVELS

The power level of the cooking zone can be set from level 1 to level 9. Two additional levels (Power Boost) are available for very rapid heating of food.

An automatic heat-up function is also available. When it is active, the power level indicator (14) shows a numeric value alternating with the letter “A”. See “Automatic heat-up” on page 14 for more information.

POWER BOOST

The power of a cooking zone can be increased or “boosted” for up to ten minutes.

A “boosted” cooking zone is heated with power that is significantly higher than the rated power. When Boost is active, the display of the boosted cooking zone shows

• Activate Boost by touching at the end of the power slider of the cooking zone (11).

• De-activate Boost by sliding on the power slider.

DOUBLE BOOST

A second boost level is available, “Double Boost”.

When Double Boost is active, the display of the boosted cooking zone shows an animated sequence of

• Activate Double Boost by activating Boost, then touch the end of the power slider again.

• De-activate Double Boost by sliding on the power slider or touching it away from the end.

BOOST POWER LEVELS

The tables on page7 list the base power and power increase for each cooking zone.

If the cooking vessel is removed from the cooking zone during the Boost time, Boost remains active and the Boost time is not deactivated. With the Boost activated, changing the value set with your finger in the power slider zone deactivates the Boost. Boost “P” can be activated in

(CONTINUED

all cooking zones, but priority is given to the last Boost activated, reducing any other cooking levels.

AVAILABLE POWER

The cooktop has a limited total power available. When a zone is set for Boost or Double Boost, there is less power available for other cooking zones. Depending on zone usage, power may be limited to 6 or 8 in some or all other zones when Boost is active.

AUTOMATIC HEAT-UP

This feature makes cooking easier by adding ‘boil and reduce’ functionality to the elements. The surface automatically heats up at full power (level “9”) and then returns to the selected power level after a certain time (see table below).

AC TIVATING AUTOMATIC HEAT-UP

Slide to choose the cooking power, then hold that position for about 3 seconds until you hear a beep. For example, if you select level 3 and hold it until it beeps: the cooking zone display will show the letter “A” alternating with “3”.

TIMER FUNCTIONS

NOTE: the timers are only intended as acoustic advisors to recall the attention of the user.

• Timers have no effect on the heating elements. Cooking zones must always be stopped manually by touching the corresponding [OFF] key.

There are two versions of the timer function:

1) An independent timer from 1 to 999 minutes: This function is available when no cooking zone is active. It beeps when the time has run out.

2) A zone timer from 1 to 999 minutes for each cooking zone: it beeps when the time has run out. The cooking zones can be programmed independently (the symbol may be less bright if another cooking zone timer has a remaining time that is less than that set on the independent timer).

There’s a zone timer indicator (13) in each zone display. The timer with the least time is highlighted and its icon is brighter (13). The other timers are still active and running, but those timer icons (13) will be less bright.

INDEPENDENT TIMER

The independent timer is available when none of the cooking zones are active. To activate the timer, touch the

+ and − keys. The display will show “000”, and you can set a time using the +

key.

The time setting (0-999 min) can be changed in increments of one minute with the

+ key from 0

to 999.

Holding down the

+ or − key increases the rate of change up to a maximum value, without

beeps.

If the

+ (or −) key is released, the rate of increase (decrease) starts again from the initial value.

The timer can be set by either continuously touching the + or − keys or by touching successively (with beeps).

After the timer is set, it begins to count down. The completion of the time is signaled by a beep

or by the flashing of the timer display, which will show “000”. To stop the flash and beep, press

the

+ and − keys.

TURNING OFF/CHANGING THE TIMER

The timer can be changed or turned off at any time by turning on the touch display again, if no cooking zone is on, and touching the

+ and − keys simultaneously to select the timer. Adjust the

time using the

+ and − keys. After adjusting, the “min” icon will flash for a few seconds, then the

time is accepted and the timer starts from the new value.

To turn the timer off, touch the

− key.

The independent timer remains active even when the main Power key is touched.

INTRODUCTION

Smart Cooking uses the Hestan Cue app on your phone or tablet with Cue-enabled cookware and the Cue-enabled cooking zone on your Smart Induction cooktop to precisely control cooking conditions for optimum control and stellar results.

The following sections will explain how to prepare your cookware and your phone or tablet for use with the Smart Induction Cooktop.

COOKWARE AND CAPSULES

Each capsule end cap must be kept with its own kind of cookware piece. (Fry pan, Chef’s Pot, etc.) This is because the capsule identifies the cookware to the Hestan Cue app, as well as providing temperature information. If a capsule end cap is installed in the wrong kind of cookware piece, then Guided Cooking can’t give proper results.

NOTE: This manual covers the cookware supplied with the Smart Induction Cooktop. Other cookware may require a different procedure for battery installation, even if compatable with the cooktop. For such cookware, see the literature that came with it for instructions.
