How to use the hob

General information on hob usage
General warnings

• Do not let any objects to fall on the hob. Even small objects such as saltshakers may damage the hob. Do not use cracked hobs. Water may seep through these cracks and cause a short circuit. If the surface is damaged in any way (e.g. visible cracks), turn off the fuse first, then call the authorized service to unplug the product to reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use unbalanced and easily tilting pots/pans on the hob.
• Do not heat the pots/pans and pots empty. The pots and the appliance may be damaged.
• Always turn off the hob’s burners after each use.
• You shall damage the appliance if you operate the hobs without any pot or pots/pans. Always turn off the hobs after each operation.
• After each use the cooking surface will be hot, so do not put the plastic pots/pans on the cooking surface. Clean such material on the surface immediately.
• Sudden temperature changes on the glass cooking surface may cause damage, be careful not to spill cold liquids during cooking.
• Put a sufficient amount of food in pots and pans. Thus, you can prevent food from pouring forth out of the pots/pans and will not need to clean unnecessarily.
• Do not place the covers of pots and pans on burners/zones.
• Place the pots by centering them on the burners/zones. If you wish to place a pot on a different burner/zone, do not slide it towards the desired burner; rather, lift it first and then put it on the other burner.

Operating principle of the induction hob
An induction hob is like an open circuit. The circuit completes when a cooking pots/pans suitable for induction cooking is placed on it and an electronic system below the glass surface generates a magnetic field. The metal base of the pots/pans is heated by taking energy from this magnetic field. Thus, the heat is not generated on the surface of the hob, but directly on the pots/pans above it. Glass surface is heated with the heat of the cooking pots/pans.

Advantages of cooking with induction
Induction hobs offer some advantages as the heat is transferred directly to the cooking pots/pans.

• Foods that overflow during cooking do not burn rapidly as the glass cooking surface is not heated directly. It is cleaned more easily.
• Cooking shall be faster as the heat is generated directly on the cooking pots/pans. Thus, it saves time and energy with respect to other hob types.
• As the heat is given directly to the cook-ing pots/pans, there is no heat loss, and it provides a more efficient cooking.
• The fact that the heat transfer stops and the cooking surface is not heated directly when the cooking pots/pans is removed from the cooking surface provides a safer use against possible accidents while cooking.

For a safe operation

• Do not select high heating levels when using non-sticking cooking pots/pans coated with little amount of oil or used without oil (teflon type).
• Do not use glass cooking surface as a surface where you can place something on it or as a cutting surface.
• Do not place metal objects such as cutlery or pot lids on your hob as they may get hot.
• Never use aluminium foil for cooking. Never place food wrapped in aluminum foil on the induction zone.
• Keep magnetic objects such as credit cards or tapes away from the hob while it is operating.
• If there is an oven under your hob and it is being operated, the sensors on the hob may reduce the cooking level or turn off the hob.
• Your hob has an automatic shut-off system. Detailed information about this system is provided in the following sections. However, if you use thin-based pots for your cooking, these pots shall heat up very quickly and the bottom of the pan may melt and damage the cooking surface and the appliance before the automatic shut-off system is activated.

Cooking pots/pans
You shall use ferromagnetic, quality cooking pots/pans which bear a label or warning that it is compatible for induction cooking only with your induction hob. Generally, the higher the iron content, the better the cook-ing pots/pans shall perform. The base diameter of the cooking pots/pans shall match the induction zone. Suggested dimensions are listed below.

Suitable pots/pans

• Cast iron pots/pans
• Enamelled steel pots/pans
• Steel and stainless steel pots/pans (with label or warning indicating that it is in-duction compatible)

Unsuitable pots/pans

• Aluminium pots/pans
• Copper pots/pans
• Brass pots/pans
• Glass pots/pans
• Pottery
• Ceramic and porcelain

Recommendations

• Use flat-bottomed cooking pots/pans only. Do not use pots/pans with convex or concave bases.
• Use cooking pots/pans with thick, processed bases only. If you use thin-based pots, these pots shall heat up very quickly and the bottom of the pan may melt and damage the cooking surface and the ap-pliance before the automatic shut-off system is activated. Sharp edges may cause scratches on the surface.

• The bases of some cooking pots/pans have a smaller ferromagnetic field than its true diameter. Only this area is heated by the hob. Therefore, the heat is not evenly distributed and the cooking performance is decreased. Moreover, such cooking pots/pans may not be detected by large induction hobs. Thus, the cooking hob shall be selected according to the size of the ferromagnetic field.

• Some cooking pots/pans have a base that contains non-ferromagnetic materials such as aluminium. These types of cooking pots/pans may not heat adequately or may not be detected by the induction hob at all. In some cases, a bad pots/pans warning may appear.

Equal distribution of the cookware on the right and left and center hobs for the selection of hobs affects the cooking performance positively while cooking multiple meals on the induction hobs.

Cooking pots/pans test
Test whether your pot is compatible with cooking with an induction hob using the methods below.

1. It is compatible if the base of your pot holds a magnet.
2. It is compatible if does not flash when you place your pot on the induction hob and turn on the hob.

Recommended cooking pots/pans sizes

The detection of cooking pots/pans by the induction hobs depend on the diameter and material of the ferromagnetic in the base of the pots/pans. To ensure detection of the cooking pots/pans and achieve efficient cooking, the cooking pots/pans shall be selected as per the size of your hob. The cooking pots/pans sizes recommended for hob sizes are given above.

Boiling behavior may vary depending on the pot types, size of the pot and size of the cooking zone. For a more homogenous boiling behavior, a one step larger cooking zone might be used. Using a larger cooking zone does not cause wasting of energy at induction hobs, because the heat is only created in the relevant pot area.
Cooking zone with wide surface (flexi) Your hob is equipped with hob cooking surfaces with wide surfaces (Flexi surfaces). You may operate this cooking surface as individual hobs independent from each other for your smaller cooking pots/pans. You may activate the combination function for these cooking zones and transform them to a single cooking surface for cooking operations with your large cooking pots.

Using induction cooking zones safely and efficiently
Operating principles: Induction hob directly heats the cooking vessel as a matter of principle. Therefore, it has a lot of advantages as compared with other hob types. It operates more efficiently and the hob surface is colder.
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, 210 and 280 mm depending on the model. Each cooking zone automatically detects the vessel placed on it thanks to the induction feature. Energy is generated only where the vessel comes into contact with the cooking zone and thus, minimum energy consumption is achieved.
The product might start-stop when it is operating on levels from 1 to 7, especially with cookware with a small diameter and when water oil is little. This is not a fault.

Automatic turning off system
The hob control has an automatic turn off system. If one or more hob zone(s) are left on, the hob zone turns off automatically after a while (See Table-1). In case of a timer assigned to the hob, the timer screen is turned off then, too.

The time limit for automatic turn off depends on the selected temperature level. Maximum operating period is applied for this temperature level.
The hob zone may be operated by the user again after it is turned off automatically as described above.

(*)The hob will drop to level 9 after 10 minutes

Table 1: Automatic turning off periods

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

• Operating cooking zone may get switched off.
• Selected level may drop to level 7 from higher level.

Overflow safety system
Your hob is equipped with an overflow safety system. If there is any overflow that spills onto the control panel, the system will cut the power connection immediately and switch off your hob. “E” warning appears on the indicator during this period.

General Information About Baking

You can find tips on preparing and cooking your food in this section.

Precise power setting
Induction hob reacts the commands immediately as an operating principle. 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.

If the surface of the touch control panel is exposed to intense vapor, entire control system may become deactivated and give error signal.
Keep the surface of the touch control panel clean. Erroneous operation may be observed.

General warnings about cooking with hob
General warnings about cooking with hob

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 it is safe to do so and call the fire department.

• Before frying foods, always remove their excess water and put them inside the heated oil slowly. Make sure that frozen foods are defrosted before frying.
• When heating oil, make sure that the pot you use is dry and keep its lid open. For recommendations on cooking with power saving, refer to the “Environmental Instructions” section.
• The cooking temperature and time values given for foods may vary depending on the recipe and amount. For this reason, these values are given as ranges.

Noise from the hob during cooking

Some sounds may be heard from the hob while cooking. These sounds are due to the composition of the cooking vessel. These sounds are normal, they are not a malfunction and they are a part of induction technology.

Possible noises and reasons

• Fan noise: The cooker is equipped with a fan that activates automatically according to the temperature of the appliance. The fan has various operating levels and operates at different levels as per the temperature.
• Lower buzz like the operating noise of a transformer: This is due to the nature of the induction technology. As the heat is transmitted directly to the base of the cooking vessel, such buzz sounds may be heard as per the material of the cooking vessel. Thus, different noises may be heard with different cookware.
• Cracking noise: The reason of this is the structure and material of the base of the cooking vessel. A cracking sound may be heard if the cooking vessel is made of various layers with different materials.
• Whining noise: A whining sound may be heard when two cooking zones on the same side of the cooker are used to cook with different cooking levels.
