General notes for cooking with induction

Cooking with induction is based upon a heating principle that is completely different from cooking on conventional cooktops: The heat is generated straight in the pot  bottom by eddy currents. The cooktop itself is not heated, but only the bottom of the cooking vessel. Consequently, the usual heat losses are avoided and the efficiency of the energy expended is optimized.

Advantages of induction cooking

  • As the pot bottom is heated instantaneously, induction cooking is very energy-saving (saves up to 50 % in comparison with other cooking methods).
  • The induction cooktop generates or interrupts the heat supply immediately after the activation of the control. This efficient energy utilization allows for an exact control  of the heat supply and is furthermore time-saving in the cooking process.
  • A further amount of time is saved on account of the extreme speed by which energy is available after switch-on. No waiting times! For instance, when heating 2 l of  water you will be 60 % quicker than you are on conventional cooktops!
  • Induction cooking provides for extra safety: Even when the cooking utensils are removed from the cooktop without having turned it off, the heating process is  interrupted automatically. In case a cloth or another combustible material should be placed on the cooktop by accident, it cannot burn even if the cooktop has been  activated. After the cooking process, nothing but the residual heat emitted by the pot is noticeable on the glass ceramic plate.
  • The cooking surface is very easy to clean. As it is not heated directly, leftovers cannot scorch. Neither do you have to wait for it to cool before cleaning.

Selecting pots and pans

  • Suitable: any flat-bottomed (12 – 26 cm in diameter) cooking utensils made of iron, such as enameled pots, pots made of cast iron or of magnetic stainless steel. The  very short response times to setting changes (short pre-heating time, quick disable searing) are at thick pot bottoms only possible to a limited extent.
  • Unsuitable: any cooking utensils consisting of aluminium, copper, glass or ceramic, as well as any pots having a pot diameter of less than 12 cm.

Tip: Check by means of a magnet whether the pot bottom is suitable. If the magnet clings to the outside of the pot bottom, the vessel is qualified for induction cooking.

Important notes

  • Only use pots or pans suitable for induction cooking, i. e. cooking utensils that are made of ferromagnetic material. Always keep the glass ceramic surface and the pot  bottom clean and dry.
  • Do not leave any food in aluminium foil on the glass ceramic surface, nor cutlery, pot lids or other objects made of metal as those might become hot.
  • Never use oven sprays or stain-removers for cleaning! Special cleaning agents for the glass plate are available on the market.
  • Avoid scratches on the glass plate caused by pointed or sharp objects. Protect the glass plate against breakage by falling objects.

Getting acquainted with your appliance

Touch control sensors

  • The appliance is equipped with touch control sensors which grant an easy and convenient handling.
  • Touching the “Lock” – “Timer” – “Function” – “ON/OFF” with your fi anger is always confirmed by a signal tone. Touching the other sensors “+” – “-“ and the  “Slider touch” area is not confirmed by a signal tone.

NOTE: Always keep the control panel clean and dry. Do not touch it with fi angers wet and do not use it as a shelf of deposit as this might lead to malfunctions.

ROMMELSBACHER CT 2020 IN Induction Cooktops - fig| “Slider touch“ area
• After placing a fi anger in the “Slider touch“ area, the setting can be individually modified by  moving the finger back and forth.
• By placing a fi anger directly on a specifi c spot in the “Slider touch“ area, the desired change in the setting can be implemented directly.
IMPORTANT:
By placing a finger in the “Slider touch” area only the power levels “1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10” or the temperature levels “60, 80, 100, 140, 180, 220 °C” can be selected directly.
The setting of the intermediate levels “3, 5, 7, 9” or “90, 120, 160, 200 °C” can be selected by placing  a finger directly on a specifi c spot in the “Slider touch” area or via the sensors “+” or “-“.
NOTE: The “Slider touch“ area is only intended for changing the power and temperature levels.
---|---
ROMMELSBACHER CT 2020 IN Induction Cooktops - fig 2| Touch sensors
• By tapping directly on a sensor outside of the “Slider touch area all other functions can be selected.
• By briefly y tapping the “+” or “-” sensors with a finger, both the power and temperature levels as well as the runtime settings can be modified step by step.

Residual heat indicator
Each cooking zone is equipped with a residual heat indicator, which shows whether the cooking zone is still hot.

ROMMELSBACHER CT 2020 IN Induction Cooktops - fig 3| • Once the temperature of the cooking zone has reached a value of more than 80 °C due to the waste  heat emitted by the pot, the display shows “H“ after switching off the appliance.
• As soon as the temperature has dropped below 80 °C or when the appliance is disconnected from the mains, the “H” in the display expires.
---|---

Pot recognition
Each cooking zone features a sensor, which recognizes whether there is a vessel on the cooking zone.

ROMMELSBACHER CT 2020 IN Induction Cooktops - fig 4| When switching on
• If no suitable vessel is recognized on the cooking zone after switch-on, the display shows “E0” and an alternate warning signal sounds.
• If no pot is recognized within 60 seconds, the appliance switches automatically into the “Standby” mode.
During operation
• If a pot is removed from the cooking zone during operation, the display shows “E0” and an  alternate warning signal sounds.
• If a pot is replaced within 60 seconds, the cooking process is continued at the last set level and a runtime continues, if it has been pre-set before.
• If no pot is recognized within 60 seconds, the appliance switches automatically to the “Standby” mode.
---|---

Cooling fan
After switch-on an inside fan starts working, which cools the interior components of the appliance in order to prevent the appliance from overheating. It is normal for the fan to continue running in “Standby” mode after a long operation time.

Operating time limitation

  • The operating time limitation will cause the cooktop to switch automatically in the “Standby” mode if the settings have not been changed for a period of 2 hours. This  happens independently of the respectively set level.
  • After an automatic switch-off, the cooking plate can be switched on once again and the maximum operating time will be active again.
  • In case the operating time (timer) is set for a period of more than 2 hours, this setting takes priority. The appliance switches off automatically after the set time has elapsed.

Priority regulation
The control of the appliance can be switched to “Standby” mode with the relevant main switch “ON/OFF” at any time during operation, also if other sensors are still activated.

level 10| 2000 W| 2000 W| 1400 W

NOTE: A sensor in the centre of the cooking zone checks the temperature at the bottom of the cookware.
The regulation will only function properly if the cookware covers this area. The cookware should have a flat and not too thick bottom to ensure a good heat transfer. The  maximum tolerable temperature for the “power level” mode is 200 °C.

Cooking in “temperature level” mode (perfect for roasting, grilling or frying)
IMPORTANT: By placing a finger in the “Slider touch” area only the the temperature levels “60, 80, 100, 140, 180, 220 °C” can be selected directly.
The setting of the intermediate levels “90, 120, 160, 200 °C” can be selected by placing a finger directly on a specific spot in the “Slider touch” area or via the sensors “+” or “-“.

Cooking small food quantities

  • Induction technology with its quick and direct heat transfer may cause a short-term overheating of small food quantities to be cooked. Thus, we recommend for heating  small quantities to start with “power level” mode at a low power level (01 – 03), and to switch over to the desired temperature level after a few minutes.

Cooking large food quantities

  • In the upper performance range of the “temperature level” mode the power output is reduced. So in order to avoid long heating-up sequences, we recommend for  heating bigger quantities (> 1500 ml) to start with “power level” mode at a high level (09 – 10) and to switch over to the desired temperature level after a few minutes.
  • The smart combination of both cooking modes allows for a comfortable exploitation of all advantages induction cooking provides.
