Disposal of Waste Products

Genius Sensor Technology

Information on Disposal for Users of Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment (private households)

This symbol on the products and/or accompanying documents means that used electrical and electronic products should not be mixed with general household waste.

For proper treatment, recovery and recycling, please take these products to designated collection points, where they will be accepted on a free of charge basis. Alternatively, in some countries you may be able to return your products to your local retailer upon the purchase of an equivalent new product.

Disposing of this product correctly will help to save valuable resources and prevent any potential negative effects on human health and the environment which could otherwise arise from inappropriate waste handling. Please contact your local authority for further details of your nearest designated collection point.

Penalties may be applicable for incorrect disposal of this waste, in accordance with national legislation.

Information on Disposal in other Countries outside the European Union

This symbol is only valid in the European Union. If you wish to discard this product, please contact your local authorities or dealer and ask for the correct method of disposal.

Genius Sensor regulates the set temperature by quickly detecting the temperature on the base of the cookware. This is suitable for the following cooking modes:

■ Autoboil Mode

■ Low Temperature Cooking Mode

■ Pan Frying Mode

■ Deep/Shallow Frying Mode

Genius Sensor

■ Pan Frying Mode

■ Deep/Shallow Frying Mode

CAUTION Do not use oil preheated by other appliances. Genius Sensor will

not work efciently and the oil could ignite.

Energy Saving Tips

■ Always place the correct lids on pans to keep the heat in.

■ Use the correct size of pan for the amount of food you are cooking.

■ Use the right size of pan for the diameter of the cooking zone. If the diameter of the pan is not the same as the cooking zone it is preferable to use a pan with a base that is larger in diameter than the cooking zone.

■ Put just enough water in the pan to cover vegetables. This will save energy.

■ Turn down the power level of the

English

cooking zone once the cooking temperature is reached; simmer food rather than boiling it.

■ Use a steamer to cook vegetables, that way you can layer a number of vegetables on top of each other and still use one cooking zone. Alternatively, a pan with a divider can be used.

Key operation is disabled.

Keys react when the surrounding area is touched.

■ Your ngertips are covered. Touch with bare nger.

■ Control Panel Lock is activated. (See page 12)

■ You performed the operation while holding the cookware handle.

■ The control panel is dirty.

Turn off the main power switch and ensure the area is clean and dry. Turn on the main power switch again.

Water or other liquids may be on or around the keys.

Ensure the area is clean and dry.

Troubleshooting

Sounds and Noises

Symptom Possible cause

Noise is heard during heating.

The level of the noise from the appliance increases and decreases.

After the main power switch is turned off, sound from the fan can still be heard.

Clicking noise is heard

at the start of ex

cooking operation.

Various sounds may be heard depending on the type of cookware. You may feel a small vibration when you hold the handle and the cookware may move slightly.

This is not a malfunction. Moving the cookware

slightly or replacing it may eliminate the sound.

If the cookware is removed during heating, a short metallic sound may be heard.

It is the sound of the cooling fan inside the appliance. The level of noise changes according to the power level and the material of the cookware. When the power level is increased, the fan will operate at high speed and generate more noise.

While the inside of the appliance is still hot, the cooling fan operates. When the appliance cools down, it will automatically stop.

This is not a malfunction. This is a part of induction heating technology. The noise is eliminated during operation.

Heat Power

Symptom Possible cause

The heating power is weaker.

When multiple cooking zones are used together,

■ The heating power decreases.

■ The power indicator automatically decreases.

■ The power level can not be increased.

Overheating Prevention Function

If the base of the cookware overheats, the heating power will automatically reduce. The power indication will remain the same. The power returns to normal after the cookware cools down.

Unsuitable cookware, e.g. ceramic and earthenware pans, are used.

Do not use ceramic and earthenware pans even

if they are for induction heating as they are not

efcient. (See pages 18-19)

The power level is automatically regulated so that overall power consumption does not exceed the limit.

(See page 15)

The power indicator for a cooking zone may decrease on its own.

Even after touching the slider to adjust power level, it may not increase the power level and the appliance will beep.
