Preparation

Tips for saving energy
The following information will help you to use your appliance ecologically, 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 using flat-bottom pots when cooking with electric hobs.
• Pots with thick bottoms will provide better heat conduction. You can obtain energy savings up to 1 /3.
• Vessels and pots must be compatible with the cooking zones. The 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 the 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 the 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.

Initial heating
Smoke and smell may be emitted for a couple of hours during the initial operation. This is quite normal. Ensure that the room is well-ventilated to remove the smoke and smell. Avoid directly inhaling the smoke and the smell that emits.

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 the 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 dry them well and gently place them 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 switched 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 aluminium vessels on it.
• Clean any melted materials on the surface immediately.
• Such vessels should not be used to keep food either.
• Use flat-bottomed saucepans or vessels only.
• Put an appropriate amount of food in saucepans and pans. Thus, you will not have 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 centred 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

• The 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 type, size of the pot and size of the cooking zone. For a more homogenous boiling behaviour, a one-step larger cooking zone might be used. Using a larger cooking zone has no negative effect on energy consumption at induction hobs because the heat is only created in the relevant pot area.

For induction hobs, use only vessels suitable for induction cooking.

Saucepan test
Use the following methods to test whether your saucepan is compatible with the induction hob or not.

1. Your saucepan is compatible if its base holds a magnet.
2. Your saucepan is compatible if” ” does not flash when you place your saucepan on the cooking zone and start the hob.

You can use steel, teflon or aluminium saucepans with special magnetic bases that contain labels or warnings indicating that the saucepan is compatible with induction cooking. Glass and ceramic vessels, pots and stainless steel vessels with non-magnetic aluminium bases 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 will be 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 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 in 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.

Using induction cooking zones safely and efficiently

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. The induction hob is equipped with superior safety systems that will provide you with maximum usage safety.

Your hob can be equipped with induction cooking zones with a diameter of 160, 200 and 250 mm depending on the model. With the induction feature, each cooking zone detects each vessel placed on it. Energy builds up only where the vessel contacts with the cooking zone and thus, minimum energy consumption is achieved.

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

• The active cooking zone may be turned off.
• The selected level may drop. However, this condition cannot be seen on the indicator.
• E2 error might be given.

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 give an error and the hob will be automatically turned off.

Precise power setting
Induction hob reacts to 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 etc.) from overflowing even if it is just about to overflow.

Operating noisy
Some noises may arise from the induction hob. These sounds are normal and a part of induction cooking.

• Noise becomes prominent at high temperature levels.
• An alloy of the saucepan 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 saucepan is heated. When you put water or food in it, this sound will clear away.
• The noise of the fan that cools the electric system can be heard.

Error messages
Table 2: Error codes and error sources

• For further information about error messages that may appear on the touch control panel, see Table 2.
• If the surface of the touch control panel is exposed to intense vapour, the entire control system may become deactivated and give error signal.
• Keep the surface of the touch control panel clean. Erroneous operation may be observed.
