SAFETY

Before use, read the separate safety instructions first

Temperature safety
A sensor continuously measures the temperature of certain parts of the hob. Every cooking zone is equipped with a sensor that measures the temperature of the bottom of the pan to avoid any risk of overheating when a pan boils dry. In case of temperatures rising too high, the power is reduced automatically or the hob switches off automatically.

Cooking-time limiter
The cooking-time limiter is a safety function of your cooking appliance. It will operate if you forget to switch off your hob. Depending on the cooking level you have chosen, the cooking time will be limited as follows:

•  After 5 minutes, the power is reduced to setting 9.

Power limiter

• With the KIS560K– the available power is distributed across all 4 zones. As soon as the maximum power is exceeded, the upstream or downstream zone is reduced in power or switched off.
• With the KI560K– the available power is divided over the 2 left and 2 right zones. As soon as the maximum power is exceeded, the front or rear zone is reduced in power.
• When using the boost function, the front/rear cooking zone can be set to a maximum of level 7.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Use of the touch keys
Place the tip of your finger flat on a key to achieve the best results. You do not have to apply any pressure. The touch keys only react to the light pressure of a fingertip. Do not operate the controls with any other objects.

Induction noises

A ticking sound

• This is caused by the capacity limiter on the left and right zones. Ticking can also occur at lower cooking levels.

Pans are making noise

• Pans can make some noise during cooking. This is caused by the energy flowing from the hob to the saucepan. At high levels, this is perfectly normal for some pans. It will not damage either the pans or the hob.

The fan is making noise

• To enlarge the lifespan of the electronics, the appliance is equipped with a fan. If you use the appliance intense, the fan is activated to cool down the appliance and you will hear a buzzing sound. The fan runs on for several minutes after the hob has been switched Off.

Appropriate pans

Induction cooking requires a pan with a thick flat bottom (minimum 2.25 mm). Use pans made of magnetic material or pans with a sandwich bottom. Other pans provide a lower performance.
Pans made of copper, aluminium or ceramic material are not appropriate.
Only use pans with a flat bottom. A hollow or rounded bottom can interfere with the operation of the empty cooking protection, causing the appliance to become too hot.
This may lead to damages. Damage caused by using pans that are not appropriate or that boil dry is excluded from the guarantee.
Pans that have been used on a gas hob cannot be used on an induction hob.
Be careful with thin enamelled sheet-steel pans! The enamel may become damaged at high settings if the pan is too dry. High power level settings may cause the bottom of the pan to warp.

Minimum pan diameter

• The diameter of the bottom of the pan must be at least 140mm.
• You will achieve the best results by using a pan with the same diameter as the zone.
  If a pan is too small the cooking zone will not work.

Attention
Grains of sand may cause scratches which cannot be removed. Only put pans with a clean bottom on the hob. We recommend that you lift pans and not slide them over the hob.

Pan detection

• If the hob does not detect a (ferrous) pan after a power level has been set, the pan detection symbol flashes in the display. After 1 minute the cooking zone switches off.
• If you remove a pan from the cooking zone during cooking, the pan detection symbol shows. The cooking zone switches off. The symbol disappears when you put the pan back.
  The cooking zone switches on again with the power level that was set before.

Power level setting
The cooking zones have 10 power levels (0-9) and a ‘boost’ level (P). Set the cooking level by turning the knob clockwise. The cooking zone starts to operate at the level set.

Boost function
You can use the boost function to cook at the highest power level during a short period of time (max. 5 minutes). After 5 minutes, the power is reduced to setting 9.

Cooking settings

Because the settings depend on the quantity and composition of the contents of the pan, the table below is intended as a guideline only.

Use setting ‘boost’ to:

• bring the food or liquid to the boil quickly;
• Use setting 9 to:
• sear meats;
• cook fish;
• cook omelettes;
• fry boiled potatoes;
• deep fry foods.

Use setting 7 and 8 to:

• fry thick pancakes;
• fry thick slices of breaded meat;
• fry bacon (fat);
• cook raw potatoes;
• make French toast;
• fry breaded fish;
• cook through pasta;
• fry thin slices of (breaded) meat.

Use setting 4-6 to:

• complete the cooking of large quantities;
• defrost hard vegetables;
• fry thick slices of breaded meat.

Use settings 1-3 to:

• simmer bouillon;
• stew meats;
• simmer vegetables;
• melt chocolate;
• poach;
• melt cheese.

OPERATION

Please read the chapter ‘Before first use’ very carefully before you start cooking.
This prevents incorrect use of the hob.

Switching on and power setting
Make sure the bottom of the pan and the surface of the cooking zone are clean and dry.

1. Place a pan in the middle of a cooking zone.

   • The display of the selected cooking zone shows the level that has been set.
   • The cooking zone starts automatically at the level that has been set.
   • Turn the knob accordingly to adjust the power.
     The hob switches off if no setting is made or a function is selected within 1 minute.

Boost function
You can use the boost function to cook for max. 5 minutes at the highest cooking level.

1. Turn the knob of the relevant zone all the way clockwise until ‘P’ shows on the display.
   • After 5 minutes, the power is reduced to setting 9.
     Turn back the knob of the corresponding zone to stop the boost function prematurely.
