Drinkpod DP-CHEFTOP-2V Dual Vertical Induction Cooktop Hob

IMPORTANT: The cooking zones will not switch on if pots are not the right size. Only use pots bearing the symbol “INDUCTION SYSTEM” (Figure below) or enameled pots. Place the pot on the required cooking zone before switching the hob on.

EXISTING POTS AND PANS

Use a magnet to check if the pot is suitable for the induction hob: pots and pans are unsuitable if not magnetically detectable.

• Make sure pots have a smooth bottom, otherwise, they could scratch the hob. Check dishes.
• Never place hot pots or pans on the surface of the hob’s control panel. This could result in damage.
• The bottom diameter of pots or pans should be at least 10cm.

CONTROL PANEL LAYOUT

Switching the hob On/Off

To switch the hob on, press the button, and the cooking zone displays light up. To switch it off, press the same button until the displays switch off. All the cooking zones are deactivated. If the hob has been in use, the residual heat indicator “H” remains lit until the cooking zones have cooled down. If within 120 seconds of switching on, no heating zone is selected, the hob switches off automatically.

Switching on and adjusting cooking zones

Once the hob is switched on and the pan is positioned on the chosen cooking zone, select the zone using the corresponding button: the display shows level 0. Each cooking zone has various power levels, adjustable with the buttons, going from “1”: min. level, to “9”: max. level.

Specifically function

Select the cooking zone you wish, and press the same number level button twice, the point corresponding display shows. The cooking zone will work high level. Push the number level again, Then the cooking zone will recover to the previous level.

Deactivation of cooking zones

Select the cooking zone you wish to switch off. Press the corresponding button. Press the key “ ” to set the level to “0”. The cooking zone switches off and the residual heat indicator “H” lights up.

Child lock

This function locks the controls to prevent an accidental switching on of the hob. To activate the child lock function, switch on the hob and hold the button for three seconds; the timer shows Lo. Then the control panel is locked. To deactivate the control panel lock, repeat the activation procedure. The Lo goes off and the hob is active again.

Timer

The timer can be used to set the cooking time for a maximum of 99 minutes (1 hour and 39 minutes) for all cooking zones. Select the cooking zone to be used with the timer, press the button with the clock symbol then set the desired cooking time using the buttons of the timer function (see figure). After a few seconds, the timer begins the countdown. Once the set time has elapsed, an acoustic signal sounds and the hob switches off automatically. To deactivate the timer, press the “ ” button to set the display showing “00” or hold the button with the clock symbol for at least 4 seconds.

Auto switch off

The hob will automatically switch off in 120 minutes when you did not set cooking time, forgot to switch off the hob, and did not operate the hob at all. The relationship between the power level and default switch-off time is shown in the below figure.

CONTROL PANEL WARNINGS

Residual heat indicator

The hob is fitted with a residual heat indicator for each cooking zone. These indicators alert the user when cooking zones are still hot. If the display shows , the cooking zone is still hot. If the residual heat indicator of a given cooking zone is lit, that zone can be used, for example, to keep a dish warm or to melt butter. When the cooking zone cools down, the display goes off.

Incorrect or missing pot indicator – Error code “E0”

If you are using a pot that is not suitable, not correctly positioned or not of the correct dimensions for your induction hob, the symbol ”E0” mean “no pot” will appear in the display (see figure at side). If no pot is detected within 180 seconds, the hob switches off.

Note: The data in the table is for guidance only. The relation between the heat setting and the cooking zone consumption of power is not linear. When you increase the heat setting it is not proportional to the increase of the cooking zone consumption of power. The power of the cooking zones can be different in some small range. It changes with the material and dimensions of the cookware.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

• Voltage: 120V~ 60 Hz
• Model: DP
• CHEFTOP 2 V Max. power: 1 800 W

CLEANING

• Do not use steam cleaners.
• Before cleaning, make sure the cooking zones are switched off and that the residual heat indicator (“H”) is not displayed.
• IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive sponges or scouring pads. Their use could eventually ruin the glass.
• After each use, clean the hob (when it is cool) to remove any deposits and stains due to food residuals.
• Sugar or foods with a high sugar content damage the hob and must be immediately removed.
• Salt, sugar and sand could scratch the glass surface.
• Use a soft cloth, absorbent kitchen paper or a specific hob cleaner (follow the Manufacturer’s instructions).
• Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

• Read and follow the instructions given in the section “Instructions for use”.
• Check that the electricity supply has not been shut off.
• Dry the hob thoroughly after cleaning it.
• If, when the hob is switched on, alphanumeric codes appear on the display, consult the following table for instructions.
• If the hob cannot be switched off after using it, disconnect it from the power supply.

NOISES MADE BY THE HOB

Induction hobs can make whistling or crackling sounds during normal operation, these come from the pots and pans as a result of the characteristics of the bottoms (for example, bottoms made of several layers of material, or uneven bottoms). These noises vary depending on the pots and pans used and the amount of food they contain, and are not indicative of a defect of any kind. In addition, the induction hob is equipped with an internal cooling system to control the temperature of electronic parts; as a result, during operation and for several minutes after the hob has been switched off, the noise of the cooling fan will be audible. This is perfectly normal and indeed essential for proper functioning of the appliance.

AFTER-SALES SERVICE

Before contacting the After-sales Service

1. See if you can solve the problem yourself with the help of the “Troubleshooting guide”.
2. Switch the appliance off and then on again it to see if the problem has been eliminated.
