EXAMPLES OF COOKING APPLICATION

What does cooking with an induction hob mean?
Cooking on an induction hob is based on a completely different principle than the usual ways of heating. The heat is created directly in the cookware, whilst the cooking zone remains cold. This method of heating has many advantages in comparison with others:

  1. Time saving during cooking and baking
    The cookware is heated directly, not the ceramic glass hob. There are no big heat losses so the effectiveness is higher than other heating methods.

  2. Energy saving
    It is established that cooking on an induction hob consumes less electric power than other cooking methods.

  3. Controlled supply of heat and more safety
    The cooking zone transfers heat or interrupts its supply immediately after setting the power. As soon as you take the cookware off the cooking zone, heat is interrupted without the need of switching off the cooking zone. After cooking, only residual heat coming from the cookware remains on the cooking zone. Nevertheless, we do not recommend leaving anything on the hob without attendance.

Note:
As to prevent unwanted heating up, e.g. in case of laying metal instruments on the hob, the system activates only if the bottom of the utensil is of a specific dimension or bigger.

COOKING TIPS

The power level settings described below are just examples. The correct setting of power levels depends on several factors, including the cookware used and the amount of food you cook. Experiment with the induction hob, and gradually determine which power level settings are most suitable for you.
Some examples of power level settings:

  • Level 1–2 can be used for:
    • Keeping liquids simmering,
    • Moderate and slow heating without the risk of burning,
    • Melting butter or chocolate, etc.
    • Defrosting,
    • Boiling a small quantity of liquid.
  • Level 3–4 can be used for:
    • Intensive boiling,
    • Keeping a larger quantity of liquid boiling,
    • Cooking rice,
    • Stewing.
  • Level 5–6 can be used for:
    • Pancakes.
  • Level 7–8 can be used for:
    • Cooking pasta.
  • Level 9 can be used for:
    • Cooking food requiring fast heating and high temperature (beef steaks, schnitzels, fried potatoes, etc.),
    • Boiling water or soup,
    • Heating food before switching over to a lower level.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Cooking on an induction hob is based on the generation of heat utilising the magnetic properties of the cookware. That is why the cookware material must contain iron. Check this by looking for a symbol for induction cooking on the bottom of the cookware (Fig. 1)or by using a magnet, whether the cookware is magnetic (Fig. 2).

If you do not have the possibility to check the bottom of the cookware with a magnet:

  1. Put some water into the cookware you want to check.
  2. If the “U” symbol is not displayed on the control panel, and the water in the cookware is simmering, the cookware is of suitable material for induction cooking.

The following cookware material is unsuitable for an induction hob:

  • pure stainless steel,
  • aluminium or copper,
  • without a magnetic substrate,
  • glass, wood, stone,
  • porcelain, ceramics, etc.
  • Do not use cookware with bulging or irregular bottoms (Fig. 3) or otherwise the cooking effectiveness could be reduced and may result in extension of the cooking time.concept-IDV1430-Built-In-Induction-Plate-FIG- \(4\)
  • For each cooking zone, use the correct cookware size. The diameter of the cookware bottom should correspond to the size of the cooking zone (Fig. 4).concept-IDV1430-Built-In-Induction-Plate-FIG- \(5\)
  • Use small cookware for small amount of food. A big and only partially filled up cookware requires a lot of energy.
  • Always cover the cookware with a suitable lid. When cooking without a lid, you consume much more energy.
  • Always cook food with a small amount of water or fat. You save energy. This way vitamins and minerals will be preserved when cooking vegetables.
  • At the beginning of the cooking, set the cooking zone to the highest power level and reduce the cooking zone power level after it is heated up.

Examples of possible damage

  • Coarse bottoms of cookware could scratch the ceramic glass plate. Check the cookware bottom regularly. Cookware with coarse bottom can cause scratches of the hob. Always lift these objects up when you have to move them on the cooking surface (Fig. 5), To protect the hob from being scratched.concept-IDV1430-Built-In-Induction-Plate-FIG- \(6\)
  • Salt, sugar and sand grains (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can scratch the hob. Do not use the appliance as a work surface or as a storage surface!
  • Sugar, as well as food with high sugar content, damages the hob when in contact with it. Immediately remove the overcooked food of this kind using a glass scraper.

CAUTION! The ceramic glass scraper is sharp and can cause injuries!

The following damages do not negatively affect the function or performance of the hob..concept-IDV1430-Built-In-Induction-Plate-FIG-
\(7\)

  • This damage has been caused by inappropriate maintenance of the hob and hence is not subject to warranty. These are not technical problems with the appliance.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

  • Areas designed for cooking only – electric cooking zones – are indicated on the hob. The diameters of the cooking zones are derived from the usual dimensions of cookware.
  • Only the surface inside the indicated diameter is heated; other surfaces remain relatively cold and can be used as put aside areas.
  • The temperature sensor prevents the cooking zone under the ceramic glass plate from overheating.
  • The light up H symbol on the indicator position of the input power levels signals increased temperature of the cooking zone after being switched off (residual heat). The symbol will go off as soon as the cooking zone has cooled down to such a temperature that there is no risk of burning.
  • The inputs of the cooking zones can be regulated within the range of 9 levels, which can be set by pressing the button with respective indicators on the control panel. An acoustic signal sounds each time the button is pressed. The response time for pressing a symbol is 1 second. For this period, it is necessary to hold your finger on the symbol.

Note:

  • The touch control is activated by placing a finger on the required symbol on the ceramic glass hob.
  • Use the entire fingertip, not just the tip, to operate the touch buttons (Fig. 6).
  • Keep the control panel clean and dry. Even a small amount of water on the control panel can make it more difficult to operate the buttons. Do not place anything on the control panel of the hob.
  • The sensors do not respond to matte and dark colours (do not use black gloves).
  • Make sure not to switch on the appliance accidentally. Risk of serious burns!

CARE AND CLEANING

The hob itself does not warm up, so no food remains should get burnt on it. Therefore, you do not have to wait until it cools down to clean the hob.
Do not use a steam cleaner or high-pressure cleaner to clean the appliance. Risk of damage to the hob!

  • Clean the hob with a protective and preservation agent specially designed for ceramic glass surfaces.
  • For removal of food remains and other dirt, apply dirt repellent to the hob, which will facilitate cleaning of the hob surface.
  • Use only agents and repellents specially designed for ceramic glass surfaces.
  • Never use coarse sponges, abrasive agents or aggressive cleaners (e.g. spray for cleaning ovens) or stain removers.
  • Keep the control panel clean! Make sure the panel is always clean and dry.
  • Food and water residues negatively affect the operation of the control panel; therefore it may not be fully functional.
  • Clean the hob after each cooking session. It will prevent the remains of food from burning during the next cooking session.
  • For cleaning the lukewarm hob use a cleaning agent and a paper towel. Then wipe the hob with a damp cloth and wipe it dry using a soft cloth.
  • If the hob is cleaned while hot, stains could appear on it.
  • Never leave residues of the cleaning agent on the hob; it could stain the glass surface.
  • Metallic-gloss colouring appears after the use of unsuitable cleaners or abrasion of the cookware bottom.
  • Its removal is very difficult. Use cleaning agents specially designed for ceramic glass surfaces.
  • For the removal of food remains and a layer of grease use a special scraper for the glass.
  • Clean the hob by placing the scraper at an acute angle and move the blade on the surface. Never use the handle for cleaning the glass surface. Risk of scratches!
  • WARNING! The glass scraper is very sharp! Risk of injury! If the edge is damaged, replace it immediately.
  • After cleaning, secure the scraper again and keep it out of the reach of children.

| Allow the cookware to cool down. Then place it on the cooking zone and continue cooking. If the “U” symbol is still on the display of the cooking zone even after switching the cooking zone on and off again, turn off the hob completely, wait for 20 seconds and turn on the hob again.
Main electronics malfunction| Main electronics replacement required. Contact an authorized service centre.


Cracks or tears in the ceramic glass hob

| Cookware has been dropped on the hob, which damaged the ceramic glass hob.| Disconnect the appliance immediately from the power supply by pressing the ON/OFF button or the appropriate circuit breaker. Contact an authorized service centre.

Operation sounds of the appliance
The induction heating technology is based on specific parameters of metal materials, when under the influence of high frequency waves. Under special circumstances these vibrations can manifest themselves by weak acoustic sounds, which do not signal any fault. These include:

Deep hum such as at a transformer| This sound accompanies cooking at high power level. It is caused by the big amount of energy which is transferred from the cooking zone to the cookware. This sound will disappear or weaken as soon as the cooking zone is switched to lower level.
---|---
Beeping| This sound usually appears in case of an empty cookware. It will disappear when you pour water or put food in the cookware.

High beeping sounds

| These sounds appear mainly with cookware consisting of several layers of various materials, when they are in operation at the maximum heating power. This effect does not influence the result of cooking. The beeping disappears or weakens as soon as the power is reduced.

Cracking

| This sound appears with cookware consisting of several layers of various materials. It is caused by vibrations on the connecting areas of respective layers. The sound depends on the cookware. It may change depending on the quantity and type of food being cooked in the cookware.

Sound of the fan

| For good operation of the electronics it is necessary that it works at a permanently controlled temperature. That is why the hob is equipped with a fan which can be set to various power levels according to the measured temperature. The fan may work even after the hob has been switched off, if the measured temperature is still too high.
