How to use the hob

5.1 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
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 cooking 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 aluminium 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 cook- ing 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 cooking 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 induction 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 appliance 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 an 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. To use a larger cooking  zone does not cause wasting of energy at induction hobs, because the heat is only created in the relevant pot area.

Using induction cooking zones safely and efficiently
Operating principles: Induction hob heats directly the cooking vessel as a feature of  ts 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. Induction hob is equipped with superior safety systems that will provide you maximum usage safety.
Your hob can be equipped with induction cooking zones with a diameter of 145, 180, 210-280 mm depending on the model. With induction feature, each cooking zone detects each vessel placed on them. Energy builds up only where the vessel contacts with the  cooking zone and thus, minimum energy consumption is achieved.
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.

• Wait for the product to cool before cleaning the product. Hot surfaces may cause burns!
• Do not apply the detergents directly on the hot surfaces. This may cause permanent stains.
• The product should be thoroughly cleaned and dried after each operation. Thus, food residues shall be easily cleaned and these residues shall be prevented from burning when the product is used again later. Thus, the service life of the appliance extends and frequently faced problems are decreased.
• Do not use steam cleaning products for cleaning.
• Some detergents or cleaning agents cause damage to the surface. Unsuitable cleaning agents are: bleach, cleaning products containing ammonia, acid or chloride, steam cleaning products, descaling agents, stain and rust removers, abrasive cleaning products (cream cleaners, scouring powder, scouring cream, abrasive and scratching scrubber, wire, sponges, cleaning cloths containing dirt and detergent residues).
• No special cleaning material is needed in the cleaning made after each use. Clean the appliance using dishwashing detergent, warm water and a soft cloth or sponge and dry it with a dry cloth.
• Be sure to completely wipe off any remaining liquid after cleaning and immediately clean any food splashing around during cooking.
• Do not wash any component of your appliance in a dishwasher unless otherwise stated in the user’s manual.

For the hobs:

• Acidic dirt such as milk, tomato paste and oil may cause permanent stains on the hobs and components of the hob zones, clean any overflown fluids immediately after cooling down the hob by turning it off.

Inox – stainless surfaces

• Do not use acid or chlorine-containing  cleaning agents to clean stainless-inox surfaces and handles.
• Stainless-inox surface may change colour in time. This is normal. After each operation, clean with a detergent suitable for the stainless or inox surface.
• Clean with a soft soapy cloth and liquid (non-scratching) detergent suitable for inox surfaces, taking care to wipe in one direction.
• Remove lime, oil, starch, milk and protein stains on the glass and inox surfaces immediately without waiting. Stains may rust under long periods of time.
• Cleaners sprayed/applied to the surface should be cleaned immediately. Abrasive cleaners left on the surface cause the surface to turn white.

Glass surfaces

• When cleaning glass surfaces, do not use hard metal scrapers and abrasive cleaning materials. They can damage the glass surface.
• Clean the appliance using dishwashing detergent, warm water and a microfiber cloth specific for glass surfaces and dry it with a dry microfiber cloth.
• If there is residual detergent after cleaning, wipe it with cold water and dry with a clean and dry microfiber cloth. Residual detergent may damage the glass surface next time.
• Under no circumstances should the dried-up residue on the glass surface be cleaned off with serrated knives, wire wool or similar scratching tools.
• You can remove the calcium stains (yellow stains) on the glass surface with the commercially available descaling agent, with a descaling agent such as vinegar or lemon juice.
• If the surface is heavily soiled, apply the cleaning agent on the stain with a sponge and wait a long time for it to work properly. Then clean the glass surface with a wet cloth.
• Discolorations and stains on the glass surface are normal and not defects.

Plastic parts and painted surfaces

• Clean plastic parts and painted surfaces using dishwashing detergent, warm water and a soft cloth or sponge and dry them with a dry cloth.
• Do not use hard metal scrapers and abrasive cleaners. They may damage the surfaces.
• Ensure that the joints of the components of the product are not left damp and with detergent. Otherwise, corrosion may occur on these joints.

7.2 Cleaning the hob
Glass cooking surface
Follow the cleaning steps described for the glass surfaces in the “General cleaning information” section for the cleaning of glass cooking surface. You may complete your cleaning as per the information below for special cases.

• Sugar-based foods such as dark cream, starch and syrup should be cleaned immediately, without waiting for the surface to cool. Otherwise, the glass cooking surface may be permanently damaged.
• Do not use cleaning agents for cleaning operations you perform while the hob is hot, otherwise permanent stains may occur.

7.3 Cleaning the Control Panel

• When cleaning the panels with knob-control, wipe the panel and knobs with a damp soft cloth and dry with a dry cloth. Do not remove the knobs and gaskets un- derneath to clean the panel. The control panel and knobs may be damaged.
• While cleaning the inox panels with knob control, do not use inox cleaning agents around the knob. The indicators around the knob can be erased.
• Clean the touch control panels with a damp soft cloth and dry with a dry cloth. If your product has a key lock feature, set the key lock before performing control panel cleaning. Otherwise, incorrect detection may occur on the keys.

• Pots may not be placed on the operating hob. >>> Check if there is a pot on the hob zone.
• Your pot may not be induction suitable. >>> Check if your cooker is suitable for the induction hob.
• The pot may not be centred correctly on the hob zone or the bottom surface of the pan may not be wide enough for the selected hob zone. >>> Center the hob zone by choosing a pot that is wide enough for the hob zone.
• The pot or hob zone may be too hot. >>> Wait for them to cool down.

The selected hob zone suddenly turns off while it is operating.

• The cooking time of the selected compartment  may have expired. >>> You can set a new cooking time or finish cooking.
• It has overheat protection. >>> Wait for your hob to cool down.
• An object may have covered the touch control panel. >>> Remove the object on the panel.

Although the hob zone is turned on, the pot does not heat up.

• The pot may not be suitable with the Induction hob. >>> Check if your cooker is suitable for the induction hob.
• The pot may not be centred correctly on the hob zone or the bottom surface of the pan may not be wide enough for the selected hob zone. >>> Center the hob zone by choosing a pot that is wide enough for the hob zone.

The cooling fan continues to run even though the hob is turned off.

• This is not an error. The cooling fan continues to operate until the electronic equipment in the hob falls to the appropriate temperature.

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.
