Induction heating
A A. Induction coil B. Induced currents C. Electronic circuits

· The Principle of Induction Heating:

When you place your cookware on a

cooking zone and you turn it on, the

electronic circuits in your induction

B

hob produce “induced currents” in the

bottom of the cookware which instantly

C

raise cookware’s temperature.

· Greater speed in cooking and frying:

As the pan is heated directly and not

the glass, the efficiency is greater than

in other systems because no heat is

lost. Most of the energy absorbed is

transformed into heat.

Safety shutoff

If one of the cooking zones is not switched off or the power level is not adjusted after an extended period of time, that particular cooking zone will automatically switch itself off. The cooking zones switch themselves off at the following times.

Power level 1-3 4-6 7-9
10-15

Switch off After 6 hours After 5 hours After 4 hours After 1.5 hours

NOTE
If the Hob is overheated because of abnormal operation, And the Hob will be switched off.

will be displayed.

NOTE
If cookware is unsuitable, too small, or no cookware has been placed on the cooking zone, will be displayed. And after 1 minute the corresponding cooking zone will be switched off.

NOTE
Should one or more of the cooking zones switch off before the indicated time has elapsed, see the “Troubleshooting”.

Other reasons why a cooking zone will switch itself off
All cooking zones will switch themselves off if liquid boils over on the control panel. The automatic shutoff will also be activated if you place a damp cloth on the control panel. In both of these instances, the appliance will need to be switched on again using the On/Off key after the liquid or the cloth has been removed.

English 13

Before you start

Residual heat indicator
When an individual cooking zone or the hob is turned off, the presence of residual heat is shown with an , (for “hot”) in the corresponding cooking zone display. Even after the cooking zone has been switched off, the residual heat indicator goes out only after the cooking zone has cooled. You can use the residual heat for thawing or keeping food warm.
WARNING As long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated, there is a risk of burns.
WARNING
If the power supply is interrupted, the , symbol will go out and information about residual heat will no longer be available. However, it may still be possible to burn yourself. This can be avoided by always taking care when near the hob.
Temperature detection
If for any reason the temperatures on any of the cooking zones were to exceed the safety levels, the cooking zone will automatically reduce to a lower power level. When you have finished using the hob, the cooling fan will continue to run until the hob’s electronics has cooled down. And the cooling fan switches itself off depending upon the temperature of the electronics.

Cookware

Use flat-bottomed cookware that completely contacts the entire cooking zone. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. Be sure to follow all the recommendations for using cookware.

· Use cookware made with the correct material for induction cooking. · Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat distribution. This
gives best cooking results. · Match the cookware size to the quantity of food being prepared. · Do not let cookware boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form
of breakage, fusion, or marring that can affect the ceramic hob. (This type of damage is not covered by your warranty). · Do not use dirty cookware or cookware with heavy grease buildup. Always use cookware that is easy to clean after cooking.
CAUTION
· The cooking zones may appear cooled down after they have been turned off. However, the glass surface may be hot from residual heat transferred from the cookware. The risk of burns is still present.
· Do not touch hot cookware directly with your hands. Always use oven mitts or pot holders to protect your hands from burns.
· Do not slide cookware across the hob surface. Doing so may permanently damage the hob.

Cookware for induction cooking zones
The Induction burner can only be turned on when cookware with a magnetic base is placed on one of the cooking zones. You can use the cookware identified as suitable below.

Material Steel, enameled steel, cast iron
Stainless steel
Aluminum, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain

Suitability Yes
Yes (If magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware)
No

NOTE
· Cookware appropriate for induction cooking is labelled as suitable by the manufacturer.
· Certain cookware can make noises when being used on induction cooking zones.
· These noises do not indicate that the hob is malfunctioning and do not affect its operation in any way.
· Special stainless-steel cookware may not be suitable for induction cooking. Check if the base of the cookware is attracted by a magnet.

Cookware sizes for induction cooking zones
Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the bottom size of the cookware up to a certain limit. However, the magnetic part of the bottom of the cookware must have a minimum diameter depending upon the size of the cooking zone. For best results, use cookware whose ferromagnetic diameter match that of a burner. If the cookware is not sensed by the burner, try a smaller sized burner.
NOTE
For Cookware diameter, please refer to the model’s Cooking zones specifications.

English 15

Before you start

Other induction cookware
Some cookware has thin magnetic material on the bottom to work with an induction heating hob. These cookware has weak magnetism and may not work well. (Weak magnetism means a magnet does not stick firmly or the area where the magnet sticks is small.)
· Even though cookware are designed for an induction hob, the heating performance could be weak or sometimes the hob may not detect the cookware depending on the size and strength of the magnetic area on the bottom of the cookware.

B

A

Suitability test

Cookware is suitable for induction cooking if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware and the cookware is labelled as suitable by the cookware manufacturer.

· You can recognise good cookware by their bases. The base is supposed to be as thick and flat as possible.
· When buying new cookware, pay special attention to the diameter of the base. Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper rim.
· Do not use cookware which have damaged bases with rough edges or burrs. Damaged cookware can scratch the ceramic hob permanently if you slide them across the surface.
· When cold, cookware bases are normally bowed slightly inwards (concave). They must not be bent outwards (convex).
· If you want to use a special type of cookware, for example, a pressure cooker, a simmering pan, or a wok, please follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
