Overheating protection
Device has an inbuilt overheating protection. If the critical temperature is
reached the device will switch itself off due to safety reasons.
Note: Never put empty cooking pots and pans on the cooking plates.
Heating an empty pot or pan will cause overheating protection to activate, an
acoustic signal will be emitted and the device will switch off. The digital
display will show „E2“ error code.
When this happens, remove the cooking pot from the plate and leave the device
to cool down for a few minutes. After that time, the device can be used again.
Installation and operation
Functionality of induction cookers
With induction cooker, an electric voltage is applied on a conductor spool
beneath the glass. This creates magnetic fields, which directly heat up the
bottom of the cookware through a physical effect.
This means saving time and energy, because contrary to common hotplates, the
cookware is heated up, not the heating element and the glass.
Due to the technical characteristics described above, another advantage is the
very short start-up cooking time.
In addition, the heat supply promptly adapts to changed settings and can be
controlled in small steps. The induction cooker reacts to changed settings
just as fast as a gas stove, as the energy reaches the pot immediately without
having to heat up other materials first.
The induction technology combines this fast reaction with the basic advantage
of electricity, meaning being able to exactly adjust the heat supply.
Additional advantages of an induction cooker:
-
As the cooking zone is only heated up indirectly via the bottom of the cookware, over spilling food cannot stick and burn and there is hardly any danger of burns for the user. The glass cooking zone is only heated up by the hot cookware.
-
If the device is turned on and no dish for cooking is present or is removed, a repeating audio signal will sound and the device will turn itself off after approx. 30 seconds.
-
The device will detect if the appropriate cookware is placed on the heating plate.
If the cookware is not appropriate for induction hotplates, energy will not flow.
The device will turn off after approx. 30 seconds. -
When operating the cooking zone with empty cookware, a temperature sensor turns it off automatically.
Safety instructions
WARNING! Risk of electric shock!
The device must only be connected to a properly installed single socket with
protective contact.
Never remove the power cable by pulling the cable itself; always grab the plug
housing.
- Never allow the power cable to come into contact with heat sources or sharp edges. The power cable should not hang over the side of the working surface. Ensure that no one can step on or trip over the cable.
- The power cable must not be folded, bent or tangled, and must always remain fully unrolled.
- Never place the device or other objects on the power cable.
- Do not lay the cable over carpets or heat insulations. Do not cover the cable. Keep away the cable from operating range and do not dunk it into water.
- Do not use the device in case it does not function properly, has been damaged or dropped.
- Do not use any accessory or spare parts that have not been recommended by the manufacturer. These can be dangerous for the user or lead to damages of the device or personal injury, and further, the warranty expires.
WARNING! Hazard via electrical current!
Do not insert any objects like wires or tools into the ventilation slots. This
may cause electric shocks.
- Do not move the induction cooker during cooking or with hot cookware on top of it.
- Do not use the device as a surface for storing various items. Do not leave such objects as empty containers, etc. on it.

WARNING! Hot external surface!
During operation, some parts of the device may become very hot.
In order to avoid burns stay out of those hot parts.
Please consider: the induction cooker does not produce heat by itself.
However, the cooking plate may be reheated by hot cooking pots and pans on it!
- Remember that items such as rings, watches, etc. may become hot if they are near the cooking surface.
- Cooking surface is made of a heat resistant glass. If any crack or damage is present (even a small one), disconnect the device immediately from the mains in order to prevent possible electric shock. Contact appropriate repair and warranty service.
- During operation, no magnetized items, such as credit cards, digital data storage or tapes, etc. may be present on the cooking surface.
- In order to avoid overheating, do not put aluminum foil or metal plates on the cooking surface.
- Do not heat closed containers, such as canned food, on the cooking surface. High pressure may cause the cans to explode. Canned food may be heated after opening in a pot with some amount of water.
- Do not use any flammable, acidy or alkaline materials or substances near the device, as this may reduce the service life of the device and lead to deflagration when the device is turned on.
- Scientific tests have proven that induction cookers do not pose a risk. However, persons with a pacemaker should keep a minimum distance of 60 cm to the device while it is in operation.
Suitable and unsuitable cookware
Suitable cookware
- steel or enamelled cast iron;
- iron, steel or non-enamelled cast iron;
- 18/0 stainless steel and aluminium, if it is marked as suitable for induction
(follow the description of the cookware).
If the cooking pots are not marked or described, make sure they are suitable
for using with an induction cooker by putting a magnet against their bottom.
If the magnet is attracted firmly, the pot seems to be suitable for induction
cooker.
