Installation

Installation with cutlery drawer
If you wish to install furniture or a cutlery drawer under the hob, a sepa- ration board must be fitted between the two. Accidental contact with the hot surface of the device’s housing is thus prevented.
The board must be fitted 20 mm bene ath the under part of the stovetop.
Electrical connection
Before you connect the stovetop to the mains, check that the voltage and frequency match those specified on the stovetop nameplate, which is underneath it. and on the Guarantee Sheet, or if applicable on the technical data sheet, which you must keep together with this manual throughout the product’s service life.
Ensure that the inlet cable does not come into contact with the induction top housing or the oven housing. if it is installed in the same unit.
Warning:
The electrical connection must be properly grounded, following current legislation, otherwise the induction hob may malfunction.
Unusually high power surges can damage the control system (like with any electrical appliance).
It is advised to refrain from using the induction hob during the pyrolytic cleaning function in the case of pyrolytic ovens, due to the high temperature that this type of device attains.
Only the TEKA official techni-cal service can handle or repair the appliance, including replacement of the power cable.
Before disconnecting the hob form the mains, we recommend switching off the cutoff switch and waiting for approximately 23 seconds before disconnecting from the mains. This time is required to allow for the complete discharge of the electronic circuitry and thus preclude the possibility of electric shock from the cable terminals.
**** Keep the Guarantee Certificate or the technical data sheet together with the instructions manual throughout the product’s service life. These contain important technical information.

About induction
Advantages
With an induction hob, the heat is transmitted directly to the pan.
This has a number of advantages:

• Saves time.
• Saves energy.
• Easy to clean as if the food comes into contact with the glass plate, it does not burn easily.
• Improved energy control. The energy is transferred to the pan as soon as the power controls are pressed. In addition, as soon as the pan is removed from the cooking zone, the power supply stops. It is not necessary to switch the power off first.

Pans
Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for use with an induction hob.
There are several types:
-cast iron, enameled steel, and stainless steel pans specifically for use with induction hobs.
We do not recommend the use of diffuser plates or materials such as fine steel, aluminum, glass, copper, or clay.
Each cooking zone has a minimum pan detection time. This depends on the material and the ferromagnetic diameter of the base of the pan. Therefore it is essential to use the cooking zone that best matches the diameter of the base of the pan to be used.
If the pan is not detected on the selected cooking zone, try using the next smallest zone. When the Flex Zone is used as a single cooking zone, larger pans suitable for this type of zone can be used (see fig. 3).

Some pans without a complete ferromagnetic base are sold as suitable for induction (see fig.4). In these pans, only the ferromagnetic base is heated. Consequently the heat is not evenly distributed across the base of the pan. This may mean that the non-ferromagnetic part of the base of the pan does not reach the right cooking temperature.

Other pans, with aluminum inserts in the base have a smaller area of ferromagnetic material (see fig.5). In this case, it may be difficult or even impossible to detect the pan. In addition, the power supplied may be lower and, consequently, the pan will not heat up correctly.

Influence of the base of the pans
The type of base used on the pan may affect the uniformity and results of the cooking. Pans with a stainless steel “sandwich” base use materials that assist the uniform distribution and diffusion of the heat, resulting in savings in time and energy.
The base of the pan must be completely flat, thus ensuring a uniform power supply (see fig.6).

** Never heat empty pans, or use pans with a thin base, as these may heat up quickly without allowing time for the automatic disconnection function of the cooker to come into operation.
IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS:**
Use vessels with the same base diameter as that of the cooking zone.In the cooking zones closest to the control panel, always keep the vessels within the cooking marks indicated on the glass surface and use vessels of the same or smaller diameter to these. This will help to prevent overheating in the control zone.
Use the rear cooking zones for intensive use of the appliance. This will help to prevent overheating of the control panel.
Do not allow the vessels to invade the control panel zone, especially during cooking.

• Only visible while running.
  The manoeuvres are done by means of the touch keys. You do not need to exert force on the desired touch key, you only need to touch it with your fingertip to activate the required function Each action is verified by a beep. Use the cursor slider (2) to adjust power levels (0 – 9) by sliding your finger over it. Sliding towards the right increases the value, whereas sliding towards the left decreases it.
  It’s also possible to directly select a power level by placing your finger directly on a desired point of the cursor slider (2)
  In order to select a plate on these models, directly touch the cursor slider (2).
  SWITCHING ON THE DEVICE

  1. Touch the On touch key (1 ) for at least one second. The touch control will become active, a beep will be heard and the indicators (3) will light up displaying a “-“. If any cooking area is hot, the related indicator will flash an H.

If you do not take any action in the next 10 seconds the touch control will switch off automatically.
When the touch control is activated, you can disconnect it at any time by touching the touch button (1), even if it has been locked (lock function activated). The touch button (1) always has priority to disconnect the touch control.
ACTIVATING PLATES
Once the Touch Control is activated with sensor (1), any plate can be turned on by following these steps:

1. Slide the finger or touch in any position of one of the cursors “slider” (2). The zone has been selected and simultaneuously the power level will be set between 0 and 9. That power value will be shown on the corresponding power indicator and its decimal dot (4) will keep light up during 10 seconds.
2. Use the cursor slider (2) to choose anew cooking level between 0 and 9.

As long as the plate is selected, in other words, with the decimal (4) dot light up, its power level can be modified.
TURNING OFF A PLATE
Using the touch slider key (2) lower the power to level 0. The hotplate will switch off.
When a hot plate is switched off an H will appear in its power indicator (3), if the glass surface of the related cooking area is hot and there is a risk of bums. When the temperature drops, the indicator (3) switches off (if the hob is disconnected), or otherwise a “-” will light up if the hob is still connected.
TURNING ALL PLATES OFF
All plates can be simultaneously disconnected by using the general on/ off sensor (1). All plate indicators (3) will turn off. If the heating zone turned off is hot, its indicator shows an H..
Pan detector
Induction cooking zones have a built-in pan detector. This way, the plate will stop working if there is no pan present or if the pan is not suitable.
The power indicator (3) will show a symbol to designate “there is no pan  ” if, while the zone is on, no pan is detected or the pan is not suitable
If a pan is taken off the zone while it is running, the plate will automatically stop supplying energy and it will show the symbol for “there is no pan”. When a pan is once again placed on the cooking zone, energy supply will resume at the same power level previously selected.
If a pan is taken off the zone while it is running, the plate will automatically stop supplying energy and it will show the symbol for “there is no pan”. When a pan is once again placed on the cooking zone, energy supply will resume at the same power level previously selected.
When finished, turn off the cooking zone by using the touch controls. Otherwise an undesired operation could occur if a pan is accidentally placed on the cooking zone during the three minutes. Avoid possible accidents!
Block Function
With the Block Function, you can block the other sensors, except for the on/ off sensor (1), in order to avoid undesired operations. This function is useful as a childproof safety.
To activate this function, touch sensor (6) for at least one second. Once you have done so, the pilot (7) turns on indicating that the control panel is blocked. To deactivate the function, simply touch sensor (6) again.
If the on/off sensor (1) is used to turn off the appliance while the block function is activated, it won’t be possible to turn the cooktop on again until it unblocks.
Silencer of the beep
When the hob is on, if one presses the touch key (11) and the locking touch key (6) simultaneously for three seconds, the beep that accompanies each action will be deactivated. The time indicator (12) will display “OF”.
This deactivation will not be applied to all the functions, as for example the beep for on/off, the ending of the timer or the locking/unlocking of the touch keys always remain activated.
To once again activate all the beeps that accompany each action, again simultaneously press the touch key (11) and the locking touch key (6)for three seconds. The time indicator (12) will display “On”
Stop & Go Function
This function puts the cooking process on pause. The timer will also be paused if it is activated.
Activating the Stop &Go function.
Touch the Stop&Go sensor (8) for one second. The pilot (9) lights up and the power indicators will show II the symbol to indicate cooking has been paused.
Deactivating the Stop &Go function
Touch Stop&Go sensor (8) again. The pilot (9) turns off and cooking resumes under the same power and timer settings that were established before the pause.
Power Function
This function supplies “extra” power to the plate, above the nominal value. Said power depends on the size of the plate, with the possibility of reaching the maximum value permitted by the generator.

1. Slide the finger above the corresponding cursor slider (2) until the power indicator (3) shows “9” and keep the finger pressed for one second, or touch directly on “P” and keep pressed the finger for one second.
2. The power level indicator (3) will show the symbol , and the plate will start to supply extra power. The Power function has a maximum time, the power level will automatically adjust to 9. A beep sounds.

On activating the Power function in one hotplate, it is possible that the performance of some of the others a lower level, in which case this will be displayed on its indicator (3).
Deactivation of Power Function, before its working time passes, can be done either by means of touching cursor “slider” modifying its power level or repeating step 3.
Timer Function (countdown clock)
This function facilitates cooking given that you don’t have to be present: You can set a timer for a plate, and it will turn off once the desired time is up.
For these models, you can simultaneously program each plate for durations ranging from 1 to 99 minutes.
Setting a timer on a plate.
Once the power level is set on the desired zone, and while the decimal dot of the zone keeps on, the zone will be able to be timed.
To that end:

1. Touch sensor (10) or (11). Timer Indicator (12) will show “00” and corresponding zone indicator (3) will show the symbol t blinking alternately with its current power level.
2. Immediately afterwards set a cooking time between 1 and 99 minutes, using the sensors (10) ó  (11). With the first one the value will start at 60, whereas with the second it will start at 01. By keeping sensors (10) 6 ® (11) pressed, the value will be restored to 00. When there is less than one minute left, the clock will begin to count down in seconds.
3. When the timer indicator (12) stops flashing, it will start to count down the time automatically. The indicator (3) relating to the timed hotplate will alternately display the selected power level and the symbol .

Once the selected cooking time has elapsed, the heating zone being timed is turned off and the clock emits a series of beeps for several seconds. To turn off the audible signal, touch any sensor.The timer indicator (12) will display a flashing 00 beside of the decimal dot (4) of the selected zone. If the heating zone turned off is hot, its power indicator (3) will display alternately the H symbol and a “-“.
If you wish to time another hotplate at the same time, repeat steps 1 to 3.
If one or more zones are already timed, the timer indicator (12) will show by default the shortest remaining time to finish, showing a “t” on the related zone. Except when the “Paeller” function is active, in which case it will display by default the value of the elapsed time of the corresponding cooking phase. Rest of timed zones will show on their corresponding indicator zones the decimal dot blinking. When cursor “slider” of another timed zone is pressed, the timer will show the remaining time of that zone for a few seconds and its indicator will show its power level and the “t” alternately.
Changing the programmed time.
For modifying programmed time, cursor “slider” (2) of timed zone has to be pressed. Then it will be possible to read and modify the time.
Through sensors (10) and (11), you can modify the programmed time.
Disconnecting the clock
If you wish to stop the clock before the programmed time is up, this can be done at any time by simply adjusting its value to ‘–‘.

1. Select the desired plate.
2. Adjust the value of the clock to “00” by using the sensor (10). The clock is cancelled. This can also be done more quickly by pushing the “sensors e (10) and C) (11) at the same time.

Power Management function (depending on model)
Some models are equipped with a power limiting function (Power Management). This function allows the total power generated by the hob to be set to different values selected by the user. To do this, for the first minute after having connected the hob to the power supply, it is possible to access the power limiting menu.

1. Press the (11) touch key for three seconds. The letter PL will appear on the timer indicator (12)
2. Press the locking touch key (6). The different power values to which the hob can be limited will appear and these can be changed using the (11) and (1 0) sensors.
3. Once the value has been selected, once again press the locking touch key (6). The hob will be limited to the chosen power value.

If you want to change the value again, you must unplug the hob and plug it in again after a few seconds. Thus you will again be able to enter the power limiting menu.
Every time the power level of a hotplate is changed, the power limiter will calculate the total power the hob is generating. If you have reached the total power limit, the touch control will not allow you to increase the power level of that hotplate. The hob will beep and the power indicator (3) will blink at the level that cannot be exceeded. If you wish to exceed that value, you must lower the power of the other hotplates. Sometimes it will not be enough to lower another by a single level as this depends on the power of each hotplate and the level it is set at. It is possible that to raise the level of a large hotplate that of several smaller ones must be turned down.
If you use the quick switch-on at maximum power function and the said value is above the value set by the limit, the hotplate will be set to the maximum possible level. The hob will beep and the said power value will blink twice on the indicator (3).
PAELLER function
This function allows you to cook a “paella” step by step. Each cooking phase is defined to help you achieve an excellent result.
This function is only available in the 32 cm cooking zone and is operated with specific sensors for it. When the function starts operating, it deactivates any power level that this zone may have been assigned to.
To obtain a suitable result you must use a paella pan of 40 cm (32 cm of diameter at the base, see fig. 7) with encapsulated iron bottom (type “sandwich”, see fig. 8).An optimal result cannot be assured, if another type of paella pan is used. To achieve a perfect result we recommend the use of our container with code 118310021 (more information in the QR code).

OPERATION

Place the pan well centered on the cooking zone, add the oil and press the sensor (23) to start cooking.
The symbol appears on the power indicator (3) in the right cooking zone and the led (25) above the sensor (23) illuminates, indicating that the function has been activated. The phase of PREHEATING of the paella pan with the oil begins. The CALENTAR ACEITE (26) led flashes throughout the phase. Once the preheating is complete, an acoustic signal is produced accompanied by the flashing of the symbol and the led (26) begins to flash rapidly, warning you that the oil is hot and, therefore, this phase has been completed.
It is time to add the meat and move on to the next phase, if you consider it appropriate. Pressing the sensor (24) starts the stir-frying phase of the meat. The CARNE led (27) starts flashing, and the power is adjusted automatically to sauté the meat during this period. At the end of the suggested time to fry the meat there will be an acoustic signal accompanied by the flashing of the symbol and the led (27) will begin to flash quickly, indicating that you can move on to the next phase if you consider it appropriate. The elapsed time for each cooking phase is displayed on the timer clock indicator (12) in the central area (in seconds during the first minute and then in minutes).
Press the sensor (24) and then add the vegetable, to start your stir-frying phase. The VERDURA led (28), will begin to flash, indicating the start of the phase. After three minutes of this, add a little oil, garlic and peppers, stirring and immediately adding the crushed tomato. At the end of the suggested time to fry the vegetable there will be an acoustic signal accompanied by the flashing of the symbol and the led (28) will begin to flash quickly, indicating that you can move on to the next phase if you wish.
Add the water and press the sensor (24) to continue preparing the broth. The CALDO led (29), will begin to flash, indicating the start of the phase. After three or four minutes it is time to season it with salt. At the end of the suggested time for cooking the broth there will be an acoustic signal accompanied by the flashing of the symbol and the led (29) will begin to flash faster, indicating that you can move on to the next phase if you consider it appropriate. Add the rice, water with the saffron and spread it well throughout the paella pan. Then press the sensor (24). The ARROZ led (30) will start flashing, indicating that the rice cooking phase has begun. At the end of the suggested time for cooking the rice there will be an acoustic signal accompanied by the flashing of the symbol and the led (30) will begin to flash quickly, indicating that you can finish cooking, if you wish, or proceed to the creation of the socarrat.
If you want to finish cooking, press the sensor (23) and the function will stop. Then let the rice stand for at least 2 minutes off the heat.
If, on the other hand, you want to achieve a final finish with socarrat: add a thread of olive oil on the surface of the rice and then press the sensor (24). The SOCARRAT led (31) will start flashing, indicating that the phase has started. Be attentive because, at the end of the suggested time for the elaboration of the socarrat, an acoustic signal is produced, accompanied by the flashing of the symbol and the led (31) will begin to flash quickly: Then remove the paella pan from the heat and let it sit for at least 2 minutes.
Observations:

• The acoustic signal at the end of each phase indicates the end of the suggested time, although the actual phase continues to work until the user decides to move on to the next, touching the sensor (24).
• If you do not change the phase, the cooker will emit a new acoustic signal every minute that elapses, accompanied by the flashing of the leds that are already on (27, 28, 29, 30 or 31), reminding that the suggested time for that phase has already been surpassed.
• At the beginning of each cooking phase, the timer clock indicator (12) is activated indicating the time elapsed in each stage. When changing phases the time restarts.
• If you mistakenly change phases without wishing to, you can return to the previous phase by pressing the sensor Q) several times (24) until you select the desired phase again. Note that the time of the selected phase will be counted again from the start.

Special functions: CHEF (depending on the model)
These functions have pre-allocated power levels to make cooking easier, obtaining excellent results as the temperature of the pan is controlled continuously by sensors. When the target temperature for the function has been reached, it is automatically maintained without needing to change the power level.
The CHEF functions operate correctly with pans with the same ferromagnetic area on the base of the pan as the area of the cooking zone. In addition, for high temperature functions (above 100°C), pans must have a flat, even base (preferably “sandwich” type) as shown in figure 9.

To ensure the correct operation of these functions, it is important that the pan and the cooking zone are not hot at the start of the process.
Further information about suitable pans (saucepans, frying pans, grills, etc.) is given on the Teka web page.
The Touch Control has special features that help the user to cook through the CHEF sensor (14). These functions are available depending on the model.
To activate a special feature on a zone:

1. First it should be selected; and then, the decimal point (4) will be active on the power indicator (3).
2. Now click on the CHEF sensor (14). The sequentially successive presses will go over all the CHEF functions available in each zone one by one. These functions will show the activation with the corresponding leds (15), (16), (17), (18), (19) ,(20), (21) and (22).

If you want to cancel a special active function at any time, you should touch the “slider” cursor sensor (2) of the related zone to select it. The decimal point (4) of the power indicator (3) will light up. Then, touch again the “slider” (2) cursor to set a new power level or to power off the zone, or you can choose a different special function touching again on the CHEF sensor (14).

Suggestions and recommendations

• Use pots or pans with thick, completely flat bottoms.
• Do not slide pots and pans over the glass because they could scratch it.
• Although the glass can take knocks from large pots and pans without sharp edges, try not to knock it.
• To avoid damaging the ceramic glass surface, do not drag pots and pans over the glass and keep the undersides of them clean and in good condition.
• Recommended diameters of the pot bottom (see “Technical Data Sheet” supplied with the product).

Try not to spill sugar or products containing sugar on the glass as while the surface is hot these could damage it.

Cleaning and maintenance

To keep the appliance in good condition, clean it using suitable products and implements once it has cooled down.
This will make the job easier and avoid the build-up of dirt. Never use harsh cleaning products or tools that could scratch the surface, or steam-operated equipment.
Light dirt not stuck to the surface can be cleaned using a damp cloth and a gentle detergent or warm soapy water.
However, for deeper stains or grease use a special cleaner for ceramic hot plates and follow the instructions on the bottle. Dirt that is firmly stuck due to being burned repeatedly can be removed using a scraper with a blade.
Slight tinges of colour are caused by pots and pans with dry grease residue underneath or due to grease between the glass and the pot during cooking. These can be removed using a nickel scourer with water or a special cleaner for ceramic hot plates. Plastic  objects, sugar or food containing a lot of sugar that have melted onto the surface must be removed immediately using a scraper.
Metallic sheens are caused by dragging metal pots and pans over the glass. These can be removed by cleaning thoroughly using a special cleaner for ceramic glass hot plates, although you may need to repeat the cleaning process several times.
Warning:
Apot or pan may become stuck to the glass due to a product having melted between them. Do not try to lift the pot while the heating zone is cold! This could break the glass.
Do not step on the glass or lean on it as it could break and cau-se injury. Do not use the glass as a surface for placing objects.

Fulfillment with Energy Efficiency of the appliance:
-Appliance has been tested according to standard EN 60350-2 and the obtained value, in Wh/Kg, is available in the appliance’s rating plate.
Following advices will help you to save energy anytime you cook:

• Use the correct lid for each pot whenever is possible. Cooking without lid uses more energy.

• Use pans with flat bases and appropriate base diameters in order to match size of the cooking zone.
  Pan manufacturers usually provide top diameter of the pot that is always larger than base diameter.

• When water is used for cooking, use little quantities in order to preserve vitamins and minerals of vegetables and set the minimum power level that allows maintaining the cooking. High power level is unnecessary and a waste of energy.

• Use small pots with small quantities of food.

If something does not work
Before calling the technical service, perform the verifications described below.
The appliance does not work:
Ensure that the power cable is plugged in.
The induction zones do not produce heat:
The container is not appropriate (it does not have a ferromagnetic bottom or is too small). Check that the bottom of the container attracts a magnet, or use a larger container.
Ahumming is heard when starting to cook in the induction zones:
With containers which are not very thick or not of one piece, the humming results from the transmission of energy directly to the bottom of the container. The humming is not a defect, but if you wish to avoid it anyway, reduce the power level slightly or use a container with a thicker bottom, and/or of one piece.
The touch control does not light up or, despite lighting, does not respond:
No heating zone has been selected. Be sure to select a heating zone befo-re operating it.
There is humidity on the sensors, and/or your fingers are wet. Keep the touch control surface and/ or your fingers clean and dry.
The locking function is activated. Unlock the controls.
