• Induction cooktop may not be used for the amusement of children.
VERY IMPORTANT
• Users with pacemakers, insulin pumps, hearing aids or other instruments/devices
facilitating the functioning, must verify that the induction cooktop does not interfere
with their operation. (Range of operating frequencies of induction cooktop is in the
range of 20-50kHz). These are the ultrasonic and radio frequencies, which penetrate into
these devices and may cause improper operation.
• Near induction cooktop , which is running may not be magnetic data carriers due to the
loss of their content.
5
• Voltage loss in electrical network results in the cancellation of all settings. After its
reappearance, you should take special care. In the case where cooking zones/cooking
units not had time to cool, does not appear indicator of residual heating ”H”.
• The cable of induction cooktop can not touch the heated places.
• Do not use the cooking/kitchen utensils made from plastic, aluminum and aluminum
foil, because at high temperature can damage the ceramic glass.
• One should pay attention, in order to not get eg. sugar, citric acid or plastic, in solid and
liquid state into heated cooking zone/cooking unit. If as a result of
carelessness/imprudence, any of the aforementioned substances will get to the area of
hot field, you should not turn off induction cooktop and scrape it into the heat with
sharp scraper, while maintaining the precautions.
• Using the induction cooktop, one should use pots about the flat bottom, adapted for
induction cooktops.
• Ceramic glass of induction cooktop is resistant to sudden temperature changes.

2. ENERGY SAVING
Let’s save electricity using:
- suitable pots - utensil with
flat and thick bottom raises
the efficiency, saving even 1/3 of the energy compared to other heat
sources.
- applying lids - applying lids during cooking raises the efficiency until
four times, frequent lifting lid and "peeking” into the pot increases
the demand for heat. Glass lids with the hole are useful. Please
remember that water evaporation heat is high and some of the
energy is irrecoverably lost.
- preserve the purity of bottoms/undersurfaces of pots and the
surface of induction cooktop – impurities interfere with heat
transfer, and dried and burnt the dirt can be cleaned only with
chemicals, polluting the environment.

7. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7.1 Before starting a connected induction cooktop
• Carefully clean the surface of induction cooktop.
11
• Open the window or run the ventilation, because the first switching on may be
associated with transitional period which may produce odours.
• Effectuate first use, keeping any hints from the owner's manual.
Way of induction cooktop operating
To the coil or a plurality of coils located inside induction cooktop, is
sent electrical current with the generator. The coil generates an
alternating highfrequency magnetic field, therefore after the
appearance of ferromagnetic pot on induction cooktop, in its
bottom induces a variable magnetic field causing the formation of
high-frequency currents flowing in the bottom of the pot. Because
they are formed in a closed electric circuits, in accordance with the
principles of physics, all energy turns into heat, the bottom becomes
a heat receiver and heats up, from it - the contents of the kitchen
utensil/pot, and induction cooktop stays cool. In order to a
mechanism of heating was started, are necessary pots with bottoms
made from magnetic materials.
7.2 The advantages of the induction cooktops
• bottom of pot, or other utensil generates heat, which is exploited to the maximum
• without losses to the environment, because heat generation begins at the time of the
appearance of a pot on induction cooktop, and ends at the time of download/take down it from
induction cooktop
Protective devices: If induction cooktop is connected and used in accordance with the instructions for use,
there is no need to use additional protective devices.
Fan operation consists in cooling/chilling of powering and steering parts. It switches on automatically, after
switching on the cooking zones and operates up to the moment of the cooling of the interior of induction
cooktop. Fan speed is adjusted automatically. In the course of the induction cooktop use, thermistor probe
checks the temperature of the interior of the induction cooktop. If it rises above the set level, the power of
the cooking zone will be automatically reduced or will switched off the cooking zones, in the vicinity of
fragments of electronics which are most heated.
Detection system allows to run of induction cooktop, when on the cooking zone is a pot, and disable it,
when the pot will be downloaded. In this way an electric energy is being saved. Small items lying on
induction cooktop, as for example cutlery, do not cause the switching on operation.
• If induction cooktop is used properly and on its surface is placed pot with an
appropriate bottom, the display shows the level of set heating power.
12
• Induction cooktop needs for the smooth functioning of customized pots with magnetic bottoms
(table No. 1)
In the case where on activated cooking zone there is no pot or is the pot with improper bottom,
displays the symbol . If at the time of 1 min. on induction cooktop will not appear the pot
with the appropriate bottom, then induction cooktop will be automatically turned off.
Please turn off the cooking zones with a sensor of ON / OFF button in control switch , and not
only by downloading pot from induction cooktop.
!!! Please remember that the presence detector of pot is not the same as the ON/OFF button.
Induction cooktop is provided with a controller with sensors – buttons (touch sensors), operated by a touch
of designated sites. Each change of controller setting is signaled by a short beep (sound).
In the course of switching on, switching off and setting the range of power, shall be allowed only pressing
of one sensor at the same time. If more sensors is pressed, at the same time, there is no possibility to
program the controller, and after a longer time of touch switches off the entire induction cooktop.
7.3 Selection of pots to induction cooktop
• The use of high-quality pots, with a flat bottom provides protection against the formation of sites of
higher temperature, where could appear the parching of dishes. The utensils with thickened bottom
give the reliability of a perfect heat distribution.
13
• On induction cooktop one should put the pots only with a dry bottom. One should check, whether
after washing, filling with water or taking out of the refrigerator, utensil has been sufficiently dried.
In this way, you will avoid soiling the induction cooktop.
• The use of lids on pots (kitchen utensils), will significantly shorten the cooking time. Heat generated
will remain in the utensil, we will avoid losses on steaming, thus reducing the consumption of
electricity.
The best energy efficiency effect is obtained when the diameter of the bottom of the pot corresponds to
the diameter of the cooking zone.
The table below defines the max. and min. possible diameters of the bottom of the pot, for the
appropriate cooking zones. They depend on the type of utensils.
Table no. 1
Please remember that:
Using the pots with too small bottoms, induction cooking zone
may not be running.
Best results are achieved when bottom of the utensil is flat;
recessed bottom and firmly embossed company logo reduces the
heating capacity, may lead to pots overheating. When
purchasing kitchen utensils, please find the label marking,
informing about the possibility of using them for induction
cooktops
7.4 Selection of the type of utensils to induction cooktop
Use cooking utensils with magnetic - iron properties, made of ferritic stainless steel or shee coated with
enamel. Magnetism you can check yourself, using a magnet. It shall be applied to the bottom of a pot, if a
magnet will attract, then the cooking/kitchen utensil is suitable for induction cooktop.

right increases the level of heating power. Moving on the left decreases the level of heating power, at the
same time lights the line of LEDs over a field of touch-sensitive and a flashing digit corresponding to power
level in the previously selected cooking zone.
You can also set the expected power immediately, by touching slider of the power change
at a selected place.
Our choice we confirm by touching flashing digit in the selected field, which now lights up continuously. In
the same way we treat other cooking zone. At any moment it is possible to change the power that was
already set. For this purpose, you must touch digit corresponding to the given cooking zone / digit flashes /,
then it appears the line of LEDs above slider, by touching the slider we establish a new level of power and
confirm by touching the field/box of flashing digit.
Note:
You can also immediately set the expected power, by touching the slider for change at a selected
location/place. You cannot program the cooking zone without the utensil which is set over it, if the detector
detects its lack!
Switching off the cooking zone you can done as follows - we touch the shiny digit of cooking zone, which is
to be disabled, digit begins to flash, then with slider we set the power to "0" (zero) and confirm by touching
the blinking digit. The cooking zone is switched off. You can also do not confirm, and then - at the
determined ”0” level - cooking zone will switch off after 5 seconds.
Switching off the induction cooktop takes place by the touch of ON/OFF button (6), when you turn off the
device, you hear the sound and switch off the all led displays. If the cooking zone, of any of burners worked
and is hot, then on the corresponding tag/marker will light up the digit ”H”- this means the residual heating.
The ”H” tag/marker - residual heating after switching off the induction cooktop means that the cooking
zone is still hot.
! During the displaying the ”H” marker (tag), do not touch the accompanying it cooking zone and do
not put items on it that are thermally sensitive. This may cause burns or destruction. As soon as the "H"
marker (tag) goes off, then you can safely touch of this area of cooking zone, other cooking zones can work
or cool down in other pace.
In the event of an emergency, when a power failure, please be careful because the indicator of
hot cooking zone is not lit.

• Switching on the Booster function, will cause automatically decreasing of heating power
on the other cooking zones, below grade (degree)
• If the power of the cooking zone was set to 0, then level 9 will be able to reach after 5 minutes.
!!! Booster function may be active up to 5 minutes. After the automatic switching off, power of the
cooking zone is set to nominal value. In spite of removing the cooking/kitchen utensil from the cooking
zone, the Booster function still works, and time of 5 minutes is measured. It is possible to re-switching on
the abovementioned function, if necessary, when sensors of the temperature of the coil and electronic
installations will allow for it.
If the temperature on the sensors could exceeded the limit (admissible value), the Booster function will be
automatically switched off, and cooking zone will reache the nominal temperature.
Booster function can be activated on each cooking zone. The cooking zones on one side (left front and left
rear and right front and right rear) form a pair. In a pair may be activated the Booster function in one
moment but only at one burner.
!!! If activation of the Booster function will cause exceeding the permissible total power, on the
second cooking zone in pair, then will decrease the power value. Power reduction is dependent on
the size of pot.
Function of the maintenance of the heat
Program of the maintenance of the heat maintains temperature of pre-cooked meal.
This function, on the burner which is switched on at low power, allows to maintain the prepared
food as fit for human consumption for several hours. The dish isn't parching and not lose the palatability.
Function of the maintenance of the heat has been also checked during dissolving the margarine or
chocolate, etc.
The proper operation of the function of the maintenance of the heat depends on the use of suitable
cooking/kitchen utensil with flat bottom. Then there is a possibility to meticulous temperature control,
using a sensor located in area of the cooking zone. This function can be activated in each cooking zone.
Automatically shuts off after 8 hours for microbiological reasons, whereas keeping the warm food too long
is disadvantageous.

digit, later - after next pressing the timer (7) - low-order digit (decimal digit). Expiration of time of
timer will be signalized in the form of the thirty-second sound signal. Marker/tag „ ” will also be
displayed.
Switching off the (kitchen) timer
The (kitchen) timer after expiration of the set time, will signalize the end of the action in the form of the
thirty-second sound signal. There is an opportunity to previous switch off the signal by touching any sensor.
If there is a need for previous shutdown of (kitchen) timer, one should:
• With the sensor of the clock (7) activate the function of the (kitchen) timer; will appear the flashing
digits.
• Using slider (3), we reduce time to 0. Then the (kitchen) timer will switch off.
8. CLEANING AND CARE/MAINTENANCE OF THE INDUCTION COOKTOP
The working life (usefull life) of induction cooktop in great measure is dependent on its cleaning
and care/maintenance.
20
! Ceramic glass must be cleaned according to the same
conditions as in the case of glass items. Steam cleaning
machines should not be used. It is also prohibited the
use of corrosive or aggressive cleaning fluids, of sand
for cleaning, whether of sharp sponges.
Regular cleaning the induction cooktop
Minor soiling one should wipe off with moistened piece of cloth, without cleaning fluids. The use of agents
ill-equipped/unsuitable for the induction cooktop, eg. dishwashing liquids, can cause the formation of
bluish discolourations, difficult to remove, even using special cleaners.
Difficult to remove, burned dirt, one should clean with
the help of the scraper to ceramic panes, then wipe
with a moist cloth.
Getting rid of stains
• stains from aluminum – one should clean them with agent specially designed for this purpose, on
the cold plate
• stains from water boiling over (and other calcic/calcareous/lime stains) – one should clean with the
help of the special agent or vinegar
• stains that formed during cooking from stains of sugar, salt, dish with their contents or aluminum
foil one should scrape at once with sharp scraper on the warm induction cooktop. Only after
removing the dirt, the induction cooktop can be switched off and after cooling down, one should
thoroughly clean with special liquid.
For cleaning the induction cooktop, one should not apply the Cillit and measures/agents having a similar
effect.
Under no circumstances do not apply cleaners on hot induction cooktop, because under the influence of
temperature may have a corrosive properties and can destroy the induction cooktop. The best effect of
cleaners action was reported during applying the cleaner on cold induction cooktop and leaving it to dry up,
and then wiping with damp cloth. Liquids for cleaning intended to the induction cooktops are available in
retail outlets.
