TECHNICAL DATA

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Before using your New Induction Hob

• Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
• Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction hob.

Choosing the right Cookware

• Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan.

• You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test. Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction.

• If you do not have a magnet:
  1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.
  2. If “ ” does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.

• Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.

Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the same size as the cooking zone. Use pans whose diameter is as large as the graphic of the zone selected.Using a pot a slightly wider energy will be used at its maximum efficiency.If you use smaller pot efficiency could be less than expected.Pot less than 140 mm could be undetected by the hob. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone. Always lift pans off the Induction hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.

Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using PowerBoost.
At extremely high termperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.

Heat Settings
The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on several factors, including your cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment with the induction hob to find the settings that best suit you.

Care and cleaning

1. Everyday soiling on glass (fingerprints, marks, stains left by food of non-sugary spillovers on the glass).

1. Switch the power to the cooktop off;
2. Apply a cooktop cleaner while the glass is still warm (but not hot!)
3. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
4. Switch the power to the cooktop back on.

NOTE:

• When the power to the cooktop is switched off, there will be no hot surface indication but the cooking zone may still be hot! Take extreme care.
• Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon scourers and harsh/abrasive cleaning agents may scratch to check if your cleaner or scourer is suitable.
• Never leave cleaning residue on the cooktop: the glass may become stained.

2. Boilovers, melts, and hot sugary spills on the glass
Remove these immediately with a fish slice, palette knife or razor blade scraper suitable for induction glass cooktops, but beware of hot cooking zone surfaces:

1. Switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall.
2. Hold the blade or utensil at a 30°angle and scrape the soiling or spill to a cool area of the cooktop.
3. Clean the soiling or spill up with a dish cloth or paper towel.
4. Follow steps 2 to 4 for everyday soiling on glass above.
   ● Remove stains left by melts and sugary food or spillovers as soon as possible. If left to cool on the glass, they may be difficult to remove or even permanently damage the glass surface.
   ● Cut hazard: then the safety cover is retracted, Use with extreme care and always store safely and out of rech of children.

3. Disassembly of the bottom base（CAID905K）
4 screws need to be removed first (see image) before the base can be disassembled.
The disassembly of the bottom base must be carried out by a qualified person.

Hints and Tips

1. The induction hob cannot be turned on.
   May be there is no power: Make sure the induction hob is connected to the power supply and that it is switched on.
   Check whether there is a power outage in your home or area. If you’ve checked everything and the problem persists, call a qualified technician.

2. The glass is being scratched.
   Tough-edged cookware. Unsuitable, abrasive scourer or cleaning products being used: Use cookware with flat and smooth bases. See choosing the right cookware. See “Care and cleaning”.

3. Some pans make crackling or clicking noises.
   This may be caused by the construction of your cookware (layers of different metals vibrating differently): This is normal, but the noise should quieten down or disappear completely.

4. The induction hob makes a low humming noise when used on a high heat setting.
   This is caused by the technology of induction cooking: This is normal, but the noise should quieten down or disappear completely when you decrease the heat setting.

5. Fan noise coming from the induction hob.
   A cooling fan built into your induction hob has come on to prevent the electronics from overheating. It may continue to run even after you’re turned the induction hob off: This is normal and needs no action. Do not switch the power to the induction hob off at the wall while the fan is running.

6. Pans do not become hot and appears “ ” in the display.
   The induction hob cannot detect the pan because it is not suitable for induction cooking. The induction hob cannot detect the pan because it is too small for the cooking zone or not properly centred on it: Use cookware suitable for induction cooking. See section ‘Choosing the right cookware’. Centre the pan and make sure that its base matches the size of the cooking zone.

7. The induction hob or a cooking zone has turned itself off unexpectedly, a tone sounds and an error code is displayed (typically alternating with one or two digits in the cooking timer display).
