NOTE:

Startup / Operation

Before initial use

Cean the hob thoroughly. Use a cloth with warm water and a little special cleaner for glass ceramic hobs. Be sure to follow the instructions in the “Cleaning and maintenance” section.

Functional principle

When cooking with induction, heat is only generated by magnetic forces when cookware with a magnetizable base is placed on a switched-on hob. Only the base of the cookware is heated, not the hob itself.
Advantages: time-saving, energy-saving, easy cleaning, controlled heat supply and safety.

Selecting appropriate cookware

CAUTION:

The cooking surface and the base of the cookware must always be clean and dry.

Cookware made of magnetizable material is required for induction hobs. Cookware labelled “suitable for induction hobs”. In principle, you can use all cookware containing iron. A quick test will show you whether they are suit- able or not:

• Place the cookware in question with some water. If the display shows [ u ],  the cookware is unsuitable for induction cooking.

Do not use cookware made of conventional (non-magnetic) stainless steel, glass, ceramic, copper or aluminium.

Wrong!

• The cookware is too small. Heat loss!
• Cookware ground uneven. Poor heat transfer!
• The lid does not close properly. Heat loss!

Correct! To save time and energy!

• Diameter of the cookware corresponds with the diameter of the hob. The cookware base is fully resting, and the lid closes properly.

Pot detection

The heating function is interrupted if:

• cookware of an unsuitable size or
• non-magnetic material is used,
• there is a foreign object on the hob or
• the cookware has been removed.

The [ u] indicator flashes on the display. If suitable cookware is not placed on the hob within one minute, the hob switches to standby mode. The appliance switches off automatically after approx. an-other minute.

Correct operation of the sensor buttons

The appliance is operated via touch buttons at the control panel.

• The buttons react to the slightest touch. You do not need to apply any pressure.
• The appliance reacts best when touching the but-tons with the fingertips and with dry hands.
• Once a touch has been registered, a brief beep will sound.
• Ensure that the control panel is always clean and dry. Objects or a small liquid film can impair oper-ation.

Switching off the appliance

• Once the cooking process is complete, switch off the appliance using the button (1).

Energy saving tips

Information to reduce the environmental effect of cooking (acc. VO (EU) No. 66/2014 appendix I, No. 2)

• Use pans and pots with flat floors. Uneven floors increase the energy consumption. The diameter of the pot and pan floors should be according to the size of the cooking zone, or bigger.
• Pans and pots, which are too small on the cook-ing zone leads to energy losses. Note: Dishes producer partly indicate the upper pot diameter. It is usually larger than the diameter of the pot floor.
• Use a small pot for small quantities. A large pot, which is only slightly filled, required a lot of en-ergy.
• Use as little water as possible. This saves energy. Vegetables retain their vitamins.
• Always close pots with a suitable lid. When cook-ing without lid you need four times more energy. When using glass lids, more energy can be saved because you can see into the pot without open the lid.
• Use a quick cooker to clearly reduce the cooking time and save energy.
• After boiling or frying, switch off the used cooking zones to a smaller power level.
• Use the residual heat of the pan, the pot and the food. Switch off the cooking zones 5-10 minutes before cooking time.

Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING:

• Always switch off the appliance completely before cleaning and maintenance work and disconnect it from the power supply if necessary.
• Allow the unit to cool down before cleaning.
• Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning the appli-ance; moisture could enter electrical components. Risk of electric shock! Hot steam could damage the plastic parts.
• Never use flammable substances, such as thin-ner, kerosene, gasoline or acids for cleaning.
• The unit must be dry before restarting operation.

CAUTION:

• Do not use a wire brush or other sharp, abrasive items.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal objects for cleaning the glass surface. The surfaces can be scratched or destroyed.
• Always consider the application and safety notes of the detergent.
