2. Safety
2.1 Safe use of the appliance
The induction cookers Base-Line are specially suitable as cookers in the kitchen or for the
preparation of meals on the table. A cooker can be used for cooking, warming up, keeping
warm, flambéing, roasting, etc. food. The cooking or finishing process with Base-Line induction appliances must be carried out with recommended types and sizes of pans. Do not
use any NO NAME pans.
Information signs mounted directly on the cooker must be observed at all times and kept
in a fully legible condition.
Danger for persons, for the environment and for the cooker can result of non-observance
of the safety information. Certain risks may be associated with non-observance of precautions, including:
• Danger to persons through electrical causes
• Danger to persons through overheated pans
• Danger to persons through an overheated cooking platform (ceran plate)
The safety information contained in these instructions for use, the existing national regulation for the prevention of accidents as well as any internal working, operating and safety
regulation stipulated by the operator must be observed.
Any risks from electric power must be eliminated. The induction unit shall only be used
if the installation of the electricity is fitted by an approved installation contractor in accordance with specific national and local regulations.
• The heating area is warmed up from the heat of the pan. To avoid injuries (burning)
do not touch the heating area.
• To avoid overheating of pans by means of evaporating the contents, don’t heat up
pans unattended.
• Switch the control knob off if you take the pan away for a while. This will avoid
having the heating process continue automatically when a pan is placed back on
the heating area. So, if any person starts to use the cooker, he/she will have to start
the heating process by turning the control knob in the ON-position.
• Do not insert any piece of paper, cardboard, cloth, etc. between the pan and the
heating area, as this might initiate a fire.
• As metallic objects are heated up very quickly when placed on the operating heating area, do not place any other objects (closed cans, aluminium foil, cutlery, jewelry, watches etc.) on the induction cooker. Persons with a pacemaker should ask
their doctor whether they are safe near an induction cooker or not.
• Do not place credit cards, phone cards, cassette tapes, or other objects that are sensitive to magnetism on the ceran plate.
Page 10
11.3.2003 Rev. 2.0
Safety

• The induction cooker has an internal air-cooling system. Do not obstruct the air inlet-and air outlet-slots with objects (cloth). This would cause overheating and
therefore the cooker would switch off.
• Avoid liquid entering into the cooker. Do not let water or food overflow the pan.
Do not clean the cooker with a jet of water.
• If the heating area (ceran plate) is cracked or broken, the induction cooker must be
switched off and disconnected from the electric connection. Don’t touch any parts
inside the cooker.
2.1.1 Changing the settings and adjustments
Reconstruction of the cooker or changes to the cooker are not allowed. Contact the manufacturer if you intend to make any changes on the cooker. To guarantee the safety, only
use genuine spare parts and accessories authorized by the manufacturer. The use of other
components voids all warranties.
2.2 Safety instructions in case of a malfunction
Pans having a diameter smaller than 12 cm are not detected. During pan detection, the indicator operation flashes. No power is transferred and the indicator lamp flashes if no pan
or an unsuitable pan is detected.
The heating area is controlled with a temperature sensor. Overheated pans (hot oil, empty
pans) can be detected. Energy transfer will be stopped. The induction unit must be re-started after it has cooled down.
2.3 Disposal of the appliance
When the life cycle of the cooker ends, make sure that you safely dispose it. Avoid abuse:
The cooker may not be used by any person not having the appropriate qualifications.
Avoid that the cooker, provided for disposal, can be brought into operation. The cooker is
built up with common electrical, electromechanical and electronic parts. No batteries are
used. The operator is responsible for a proper and safe disposal of the cooker.
2.4 Other prohibitions
The operating reliability of the cookers can only be guaranteed with proper use. The limit
values may be exceeded on no account.

4. Operation instructions
4.1 Before using the appliance
4.1.1 Operating test
The glass ceramic cooking zone is warmed up from the heat of the pan. To avoid injuries
(burning) do not touch this area.
Use a pan that is suitable for induction cooking, having a bottom diameter of at least 12
cm.
• Put some water in the pan and place it in the center of the heating area.
• Turn the control knob ON (in a position between 1 and 12). The indicator light
(green) illuminates and the water will be heated.
• Take the pan away from the heating area, the indicator light will flash
• Place the pan back on the heating area, the indicator light will illuminate and the
heating process will continue.
• Turn the control knob in the OFF-position, the heating process will stop, indicator
light turns off.
The shining indicator light operation means that energy is being transferred to the pan. If
the indicator operation remains off, check the following:
• Is the cooker connected to the power supply?
• Is the control knob in ON positon?
• Do you use a suitable pan (bottom diameter at least 12cm (5“), pan made of suitable material)?
• Is the pan placed in the center of the heating area?
To verify if the pan is suitable, use a permanent magnet and find out if it sticks to the bottom of the pan. If not, your pan is not suitable for induction cooking. Choose a pan which
is recommended for induction cooking. If in spite of all positive controls and tests the
cooker doesn’t work, refer to “Troubleshooting”.

4.2 Operation procedures
The induction cooker is switched on with the control knob. The cooker is immediately
ready for operation. The illuminated indicator lights mean that energy is being transferred
to the pan. The power rating is set by turning the control knob. The inductive power depends on the position of the potentiometer:
• position 1 > minimum power
• position 12 > maximum power
Due to the following characteristics, the operator must be more attentive when using the
induction cooker than it would be required with other appliances. The heat storage capacity of this system is very low. If the heating level is changed with the control knob, the
food is immediately exposed to a different temperature. Do not put empty pans on the
glass ceramic cooking zone, first put grease or liquid into the pan and start cooking process after that. Adjust carefully the heating level to the required cooking mode. Set and adjust the power with the control knob. The pan should always remain in the center of the
heating area, otherwise, the bottom of the pan is heated unequally and the food inside the
pan may burn. When heating up oil or grease, constantly check the pan to prevent oil and
grease from overheating and burning.
The cooker only transmits energy if a pan is placed on the heating area, independently of
the position of the control knob. If you take the pan away from the heating area, power
transfer stops immediately. If the pan is put back on the heating area, the selected power
will be transferred to the pan again. After switching the cooker to the off position the
cooking will stop.
4.3 After use
4.3.1 Cleaning
List with common types of soiling and recommendations how to treat them:
• Slight soiling, no burned residues: Wipe with a moist cloth, without cleaning agent
• Sticky soiling: Remove with a scraper. Then wipe the heating area with a moist
cloth
• Lime deposits, caused by water which has boiled over: These spots can be removed with vinegar or a special cleaning agent
• Sugar, sugar containing food, plastic, aluminum foil: Immediately scrape off the
sugar, plastic or aluminum foil residues thoroughly from the hot cooking area, e.g.
with a razor blade. After removal of the residues, clean it with a cleaning agent. If
the heating area soiled with residues of sugar, plastic or aluminum foil cools down
without prior cleaning, the ceramic surface might become deformed by pinheadsized pits
The cleaning of the Ceran plate and the ceramic bowl is identical to other similar surfaces
like glass. Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents, such as grill- and ovensprays, stain- and rust-removers, scouring powder and rough sponges. Before being
cleaned, the Ceran plate or the ceramic bowl must be cooled down. Other maintenance
and servicing work other than cleaning as described here, must be done by authorized
service personnel. Make sure that no liquid can enter in the induction unit.
