Important safety information

• The appliance can be used by children older than 8 years of age as well as by people with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities and persons lacking experience and/or lacking knowledge, if they are supervised or have received instructions on how to use the appliance safely and have understood the resulting risks.
• Children should be supervised in order to ensure that they do not play with the device.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children, unless they are older than 8 years old and supervised.
• Keep the appliance and its connection cable out of reach of children under 8 years of age.
• The appliance must not be operated via an external timer or remote control.
• The appliance is designed for indoor household use only.
• Caution! Risk of burns! The temperature of accessible surfaces can become very hot. They also remain hot for some time after the appliance has been switched off.
• If the appliance’s power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service or a similarly qualified person if hazards are to be avoided.
• If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance and unplug the power cord to avoid the risk of electric shock.
• Always disconnect the appliance from the mains supply if it is to be left unattended, as well as before assembling, disassembling or cleaning it.
• The supply cord should be regularly examined for signs of damage, and if the cord is damaged, the appliance must not be used.
• Do not place any cooking utensils, saucepan lids, knives or other metal objects on the hob. Such objects can heat up significantly if the appliance is switched on.
• Do not touch the hot surface of the ceramic hotplates. The induction hob itself does not generate any heat during the cooking process. The temperature of the cookware however, heats up the hotplate.
• This appliance is designed for use in households and similar environments, such as:
  • Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other commercial environments;
  • Farmhouses;
  • By guests at hotels, motels and other residential facilities;
  • At bed-and-breakfast establishments.
• The appliance is not intended for purely commercial use.

Additional safety information

• Persons with heightened electro-sensitivity shouldn’t be in the immediate area of the appliance any longer than is necessary.
• Persons fitted with cardiac pacemakers or medication pumps who are uncertain whether using the appliance is harmless for them, should speak with their doctor.
• The appliance must not be operated on a metal base, as this can heat up considerably.
• To ensure proper ventilation of the appliance, make sure that the appliance is at least 10 cm away from other objects or walls.
• The cool air is drawn in by the underside of the appliance. Do not cover or block any of the appliances openings.
• Do not place any magnetised objects such as credit cards and data carriers on or in the immediate vicinity of the appliance.
• Position the cookware centrally on the hob. In this way, the base of the pan largely screens the electro-magnetic field.
• Do no remove any covers from the appliance.
• Do not place any empty piece of cookware on the hob when it is switched on. Heating up an empty cooking pot causes the overheating protection to be triggered.
• Do not heat up any sealed cans. There is a risk of explosion!
• The appliance should be connected only to earthed wall sockets that have been installed in accordance with the regulations. The power cable and plug must be dry.
• The connection cable must not come into contact with hot appliance parts.
• Stop using the appliance and/or pull the mains plug out of the socket immediately if:
  • The appliance or the mains cable is damaged;
  • You suspect that the device may be defective following a fall or similar incident. In such cases, arrange for the appliance to be repaired.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended.
• Pull out the mains plug
  • If the appliance malfunctions during use;
  • Before cleaning and care;
  • After use.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water to clean it.
• We accept no liability for any damage caused as a result of misuse, incorrect operation or improper repairs. Warranty claims are likewise excluded in such cases.

Use

• The induction cooker is intended for the warming, cooking and frying of foodstuffs and may only be used indoors. It is only intended for domestic use. The cookware used must be suitable for induction cookers.
• Induction hobs require special cookware.

Suitable cookware

• Cookware with a ferromagnetic base
• Stainless steel (with iron core in the base), cast iron
• Enamel frying pans with a magnetic base
• Recommended cookware diameter: 180 mm to 280 mm
• Max. weight 6 kg (pot and content)

Unsuitable cookware

• Ceramic pots, heat-resistant glass
• Copper, aluminium or other non-metallic cookware
• Cookware with feet
• Containers with a curved base
• Containers made from stainless steel without a magnetic steel core
• Containers without a flat base

Carry out your own test!

• You can easily test the suitability of the cookware yourself:
• Hold a magnet next to the base of the pan. If there is a strong magnetic attraction, the cookware is suitable. The induction hob only works with appropriate cookware. The appliance recognises if the cookware is not suitable and behaves as if no cookware is on the hotplate: The hob doesn’t switch on.

Functions

• Touch control panel (3)
  The functions of the induction hob are activated by tapping the corresponding symbol buttons. The control panel reacts to being tapped lightly without needing to apply pressure. To work correctly, the control panel has to be clean and dry. The corresponding LED lights up red when a function is activated, e.g. after switching the appliance on.

• Setting power levels (7)
  The appliance has eight power levels that are set and changed directly through the power level controller and displayed correspondingly through the red LEDs. If you touch a position on the power level controller, the corresponding level is selected. All LEDs from the lowest level (left) to the selected level are then lit. You can also change the selected power level by sliding your finger from left to right, or from right to left along the power level controller.

• Display (9)
  To show the timer. The timer can be reset any time by using the + and – (10) buttons.

• Set timer (10)

  • The timer is set through the + and – (10) buttons. If you tap on one of the but-tons, the time is changed by 1 minute. If you tap and press one of the buttons for a longer time, the time is changed progressively in 10 minute steps.
  • The timer can be set to a value between 0:01 and 9:59 by directly using the 8 power levels (7), without selecting a programme.
  • The timer can be changed at any time using the programme functions and the 8 power levels (7).

• Direct select programmes (8)
  A programme can be selected by tapping the appropriate symbol button. If you wish to change the programme while the hob is in operation, simply tap and hold the appropriate symbol button for a whole second.
