IMPORTANT

Please read these instructions carefully before using this equipment. Keep them in a safe place for
future reference.

All Lincat electrical appliances must be installed, operated and serviced by a competent person. Users
should take care to adopt safe working practices when operating or cleaning appliances. Please contact
your local distributor for further advice.

WARNING

These appliances must be earthed.
Isolate the power supply before carrying out any installation, servicing or cleaning work.
Parts of appliances become hot during normal use, take care to avoid accidental burns.
If the ceramic glass surface is cracked, immediately disconnect the appliance from the supply.

Caution Symbol: Non-ionising electromagnetic radiation (magnetic field).

Warning Symbol: Dangerous voltage (live parts at a working voltage exceeding 250v).

Equipotential bonding stud to allow earth cross-bonding with other equipment.

INSTALLATION

1. Ensure that the electricity supply is adequate for the equipment being installed.

2. Partitions, walls, kitchen furniture and other materials less than 100mm from the appliance
should be made from non-combustible material.

3. Remove all protective plastic coating from the unit.

4. When siting the equipment, make sure that it is level, that there is a free flow of cool air around
the unit and that vents are not blocked.

5. Appliances must be installed in accordance with: Health & Safety at Work Act, IEE Wiring
Regulations, BS Codes of Practice, Local and National Building Regulations and Fire
Precautions Act 1971.

6. Supply cords shall be oil resistant, sheathed flexible cord not lighter than ordinary
polychloroprene or equivalent synthetic elastomer-sheathed cord (code designation 30245 IEC

57).

7. A means of disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring having a contact separation
of at least 3.0mm in all poles.

8. Means of electrical isolation should be kept easily accessible at all times.

GENERAL USE

1. The following convention applies where indicator lights are fitted to appliances:-

Green on - power to the unit.

2. When the Induction hob is connected to the mains supply and switched on, there will be a
momentary flashing of the display.

3. After use, switch the hob zone off by means of its control. Do not rely on the pan detector.

4. Aluminium foil and plastic vessels are not to be placed on hot glass ceramic surfaces. Do not
use these surfaces for storage.

5. Metallic objects should not be placed on the hob surface within the cooking zones since they
could get hot. Take care when operating the appliance as rings, watches and similar objects
could get hot when in close proximity to the hob surface.

6. Only use pans of the type and size recommended, refer to ‘pan selection’ notes.

7. Users with heart pacemakers should consult with the manufacturer of the pacemaker or their
doctor.

USER MAINTENANCE

1. Before working on or cleaning the equipment, isolate it from the power supply and allow it to
cool to a safe working temperature.

2. Clean units regularly with hot water and detergent, do not use abrasive or chlorine based
cleaners on stainless steel. Take care to avoid wetting electrical components.

Do not use a water jet.

3. Clean the ceramic glass regularly. Avoid abrasive sponges or scouring agents and harsh
chemical cleaners like oven sprays. Remove dirt and food with a scraper or Vileda CERAN
cleaning sponge.
Once the ceramic glass has cooled, use a few drops of suitable cleaner on a paper towel or the
rough side of the sponge. Wipe the ceramic glass with a damp cloth and dry it with a clean cloth
or the smooth side of the sponge

If plastic, aluminium foil, sugar or sugary food has dropped onto hot ceramic glass,
scrape it off immediately. If these substances melt they can damage the surface.

4. Check the air filter(s) regularly – they are washable if contaminated.

INDUCTION COOKING AND PAN SELECTION

With induction cooking, heat is produced directly in the base of the pan. The system comprises a
ceramic glass hob surface with an induction coil beneath it. The coil generates an alternating magnetic
field. When a pan with a magnetic base is placed on the cooking zone, eddy currents are created in the
base of the pan leading to the production of heat. The pan heats very quickly.

The quality of the cookware is important to the efficiency of induction cooking. The base of the pan
needs to be flat and with good heat distribution.

Generally;
Suitable pans are made from cast iron, enamelled steel and stainless steel with a magnetic base.
Unsuitable pans are glass, earthenware, aluminium, copper and non-magnetic stainless steel.

Operation of the pan detection system is dependent on the size of the pan and its material.
Power available from the induction coil to the pan will vary and is dependent on size and pan material.

Induction generators make buzzing, whistling and clicking noises especially on lower power settings.
This is normal for this type of equipment.

The pan should be located concentrically over the ceramic glass target ring. If the inner ring of the
ceramic glass is visible around the pan, then the pan is too small.

RECOMMENDED PAN BASE DIAMETER

All Zones
Recommended minimum pan 120 mm Dia.
Nominal coil diameter 220mm

HOB DISPLAY SYMBOLS

All symbols are observed on the front control panel.

Power level setting 1 - 9

Residual heat display

Error codes

POWER LEVEL SETTING 1 – 9:

There are 9 power level settings available via the rotary control knob, see pan maximiser note.

RESIDUAL HEAT DISPLAY

When a pan is removed from the hobtop and the temperature of the ceramic glass exceeds 60°C, the
“H” symbol is displayed indicating a hot surface. Refer also to the error codes section.
Whilst the residual heat display is showing, leave the OE7013/7014 Induction hob connected to the
power supply. This allows the internal cooling fans to continue to operate. When the “H” symbol is
extinguished, the mains power supply may be switched off.

ERROR CODES

There are numerous “E” symbol error codes, these identify issues within the induction system and are
primarily of use when reporting a fault to the Service department at Lincat Ltd. Some errors can be
cleared by turning the control to the “off” position, or completely turning off and unplugging the unit,
before switching on again.

PAN DETECTION FUNCTION

Each zone has pan detection; this prevents the coil from turning on without a pan being present. The
coil also turns off as soon as the pan is removed.
A reduction in performance during cooking may be attributed to any of the following:- a blocked air filter,
a confined location with insufficient cooling airflow, or a failed cooling fan. These circumstances will
cause the generator to overheat. Eventually the control electronics will shut down the generator causing
the “H” symbol to display.

REPLACEMENT OF AIR FILTER

Removing and cleaning the air filter will ensure an adequate supply of cool air, and will restore
performance.
Disconnect from the power supply after allowing the Induction hob to cool down. The location of the
filters is shown in the first diagram below. The filters are removed whilst the unit is the correct way up,
but for clarity the unit is shown inverted in the second diagram.

PAN MAXIMISER FEATURE

When a pan is detected on the hobtop, the system optimises the generator for the maximum power for
that pan. The power level settings ( 1 – 9) are a function of the pan maximum power, not the hobtop
maximum power, for example setting 5 (half power) is half the maximum power that the pan can accept,
not half the generator output.

Pull the latch as shown (1), this will allow the filter cover to be lifted away from the base panel (2).
Remove the filter and clean - the filter may be put in a dishwasher.
Replace the clean filter into the base panel ensuring that the latch has fully re-engaged.
Reconnect to the power supply. The hob is now ready to use.
Important: Do not operate the Induction hob without a filter being fitted otherwise dirt and grease could
be drawn into the electronics and impair safe operation.
