Preparation

Tips for saving energy
The following nformation will help you to use your appliance in an ecological way, and to save energy:

• Defrost frozen dishes before cooking them.
• Use pots/pans with cover for cooking. If there is no cover, energy consumption may increase 4 times.
•  Select the burner which is suitable for the bottom size of the pot to be used. Always select the correct pot size for your dishes. Larger pots require more energy.
• Pay attention to use flat bottom pots when cooking with electric hobs. Pots with thick bottom will provide a better heat conduction. You can obtain energy savings up to 1 /3.
•  Vessels and pots must be compatible with the cooking zones. Bottom of the vessels or pots must not be smaller than the hotplate.
•  Keep the cooking zones and bottom of the pots clean. Dirt will decrease the heat conduction between the cooking zone and bottom of the pot.
• Information on energy efficiency according to EU 66/2014 can be found on the product fiche given with the product.

Initial use
First cleaning of the appliance
  The surface might get damaged by some detergents or cleaning materials.
Do not use aggressive detergents, cleaning powders/creams or any sharp objects during cleaning.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

1. Remove all packaging materials.
2.  Wipe the surfaces of the appliance with a damp cloth or sponge and dry with a cloth.

How to use the hob

General information about cooking
**** Never fill the pan with oil more than one third of it. Do not leave the hob unattended when heating oil. Overheated oils bring risk of fire. Never attempt to extinguish a possible fire with water! When oil catches fire, cover it with a fire blanket or damp cloth. Turn off the hob if t is safe to do so and call the fire department.
Before frying foods, always dry them well  and gently place into the hot oil. Ensure complete thawing of frozen foods before frying.

• Do not cover the vessel you use when heating oil.

• Place the pans and saucepans in a manner so that their handles are not over the hob to prevent heating of the handles. Do not place unbalanced and easily tilting vessels on the hob.

• Do not place empty vessels and saucepans on cooking zones that are switch d on. They might get damaged.

•  Operating a cooking zone without a vessel or saucepan on it will cause damage to the product. Turn off the cooking zones after the cooking is complete.

• As the surface of the product can be hot, do not put plastic and aluminum vessels onit.
  Clean any melted such materials on the surface immediately. Such vessels should not be used to keep foods either.

•  Use flat bottomed saucepans or vessels only.

• Put appropriate amount of food in saucepans and pans. Thus, you will not ave to make any unnecessary cleaning by preventing the dishes from overflowing.
  Do not put covers of saucepans or pans on cooking zones.
  Place the saucepans in a manner so that they are centered on the cooking zone. When you want to move the saucepan onto another cooking zone, lift and place it onto the cooking zone you want instead of sliding it.

Saucepan selection

• Glass ceramic surface is heatproof and is not affected by big temperature differences.
• Do not use the glass ceramic surface as a place of storage or as a cutting board.
  Use only the saucepans and pans with machined bottoms. Sharp edges create scratches on the surface.

| Spills may damage  the glass ceramic surface and cause fire.
---|---
Do not use vessels with concave or convex bottoms.
Use only the saucepans and pans with flat bottoms. They ensure easier heat transfer.

Boiling behaviour may vary depending on the pot types, size of the pot and size of the cooking zone. For a more homogenous boiling behaviour a one step larger cooking zones might be used. To use a larger cooking zone has no negative effect on energy consumption at induction hobs because the heat is only created in relevant pot area.
For induction hobs, use only vessels suitable for induction cooking.
Saucepan test

1. Your saucepan is compatible if its base holds magnet.
2.  Your saucepan is compatible if “ ” and   oes not flash when you place your saucepan on cooking zone and start the hob.
   You can use steel, teflon or aluminium saucepans with special magnetic base that contains labels or warnings indicating that the saucepan is compatible with induction cooking. Glass and ceramic vessels, pots and the stainless steel vessels with non­ magnetic aluminium base should not be used.

Pan detection-focusing system
In induction cooking, energy is generated only in the area where the base of the pan on the respective cooking zone covers. The base of the pan is detected by the induction system and only this area is automatically heated. If the pan is removed from the cooking zone during cooking, the cooking process w1 e stopped . symbol flashes.(For some hob models, the selected cooking zone level and flash respectively.
Safe use
Do not select high heating levels when you will use a non-sticking (teflon) saucepan with no oil or with very little oil.
Do not put metal items such as forks, knives or saucepan covers onto your hob since they can get heated.
Never use aluminium foil for cooking. Never place food items wrapped with aluminium foil onto the cooking zone.
If there is an oven under your hob and if it is running, sensors of the hob can decrease the cooking level or turn off the hob.
When the hob is running, keep items with magnetic properties such as credit cards or cassettes away from the hob.
Illuminated cooking areas(This may not exist on your product.)
Cooking zones on the hob will be illuminated. The cooking zones will not appear when the hob is in the turned-off or stand-by position. When you turn on the hob, the illumination that indicates the cooking zones should appear.
Using pans on the large cooking zone
The pan you are using should cover both centres of the large cooking zone. Do not use the cooking zone in a different manner. You can use the large cooking zone by combining them for the arge diameter pans. You can use the large cooking zone in two different ways, namely left rear and left front zones. Using the hobs
  Do not allow any object to drop on the hob. Even small objects such as a saltshaker may damage the hob. Do not use cracked hobs. Water may leak through these cracks and cause short circuit.
In case of any kind of damage on the surface (eg., visible cracks), switch off the product immediately to minimize the risk of electric shock.

Using the induction cooking zones safely and effectively
Operating principles: Induction hob heats directly the cooking vessel as a feature of its operating principles. Therefore, it has various advantages when compared to other hob types. It operates more efficiently and the hob surface does not heat up.
Your induction hob is equipped with superior safety systems that will provide you maximum safe usage.
Your hob can be equipped with induction cooking zones with a diameter of 145, 180, 21 O and 280 mm depending on the model. Each cooking zone automatically detects the vessel placed on it thanks to the   induction feature. Energy builds up only where the vessel contacts with the cooking zone and thus, minimum energy consumption is achieved.
Operation time limits
The hob control is equipped with an operation time limit. When one or more cooking zones are left on, the cooking zone will automatically be deactivated after a certain period of time (see, Table-1 ). f there is a timer assigned to the cooking zone, the timer display will also turn off later.
Operation time limit depends on the selected temperature level. Maximum operation time is applied at this temperature level.
The cooking zone may be restarted by the user after it is turned off automatically as described above.
Table-1: Operation time limits

Overheating protection
Your hob is equipped with some sensors ensuring protection against overheating. The following may be observed in case of overheating:

• Active cooking zone may be turned off.
•  Selected level may drop. However, this condition cannot be seen on the indicator.

Overflow safety system
Your hob is equipped with a safety system to prevent overflows. If there is overflowing that affects the control panel, the system will turn off the hob by disconnecting the power automatically.
Meanwhile, “E” or “F” will be displayed.
Precise power setting
Induction hob reacts the commands immediately as a feature of its operating principles. It changes the power settings very fast. Thus, you can prevent a cooking pot (containing water, milk and etc.) from overflowing even if it was just about to overflow.
Noisy operation
Some noises may arise from the induction hob. These sounds are normal and a part of induction cooking.

• Sound becomes prominent in high temperature levels.
•  Alloy of the cooking pot can cause noise.
• In low levels, a regular on/off sound can be heard because of the operating principles.
• Noise can be heard if an empty cooking pot is heated. When you put water or meal in it, this sound will clear away.
• The noise of the fan that cools the electronic system can be heard.
