HOW TO SAVE ELECTRICITY
-
Responsibly using electricity not only saves money but also helps protect the environment. So let’s save electricity! This is how it’s done:
-
Use the correct cookware.
Cookware with flat and a thick base can save up to 1/3 of electricity. Please remember to cover cookware with the lid, otherwise, electricity consumption will increase four times! -
Always keep the cooking zones and cookware bases clean.
Dirt prevents proper heat transfer. Often burnt stains can be removed only with agents harmful to the environment. -
Avoiding unnecessary lifting of the lid to peek into the pot.
-
Do not install the hob near the refrigerator/freezer.
The electricity consumption is then unnecessarily increased.
UNPACKING
- The appliance was protected from damage at the time of transport. After unpacking, please dispose of all elements of the packaging in a way that will not cause damage to the environment. All materials used for packaging the appliance are environmentally friendly; they are 100% recyclable and are marked with the appropriate symbol.
- Important! Keep the packaging material (bags, Styrofoam pieces, etc.) out of reach of children during unpacking.
DISPOSAL
Under European Directive 2002/96/EC and Polish legislation regarding used
electrical and electronic goods, this appliance is marked with the symbol of
the crossed-out waste container.
This marking means that the appliance must not be dispo-sed of together with other household waste after it has been used. The user is obliged to hand it over to the waste collection centre collecting used electri-cal and electronic goods. The collectors, including local collection points, shops and local authority departments provide recycling schemes. Proper handling of used electrical and electronic goods helps avoid environmental and health hazards resulting from the presence of dangerous components and the inappropriate storage and processing of such goods.

INSTALLATION
Making the worktop recess
- Edge of the worktop near the wall must be sealed to prevent ingress of water or other liquids.
- There should be sufficient spacing around the opening, in particular, at least 50 mm distance to the wall and 60 mm distance to the front edge of the worktop.
- The distance between the edge of the opening and the side wall of the furniture should be a minimum of 55 mm.
- The worktop must be made of materials, including veneer and adhesives, resistant to a tem-perature of 100°C. Otherwise, the veneer could come off or the surface of the worktop become deformed.
- Edge of the opening should be sealed with suitable materials to prevent the ingress of water.
- Worktop openings must be cut to dimensions as shown in Figure 1.
- Ensure a minimum clearance of 25 mm below the hob to allow proper air circulation and prevent overheating. See Figure 2.
- When installing the hob in the worktop, a shelf partition must be installed.
- If the hob is installed above a built-in oven, it is not necessary to mount the shelf partition. Do not install the hob above the oven without ventilation.
Installing hob
- Using an electrical cord, connect the hob according to the electrical diagram provided.
- Remove dust from the worktop, insert the hob into the opening and press in firmly.
- Worktop
- Hob flange gasket
- Ceramic hob
- The hob has a fixed-mounted cable with a neutral contact and may only be connected to a 220- 240 V ~ 50 Hz socket with a grounding pin. The socket power circuit should be protected with a 16 A fuse.
Assembly of the gasket
- Depending on the model, the seal is already installed at the factory (fig.1)
- If the seal has not been fitted at the factory, proceed as follows:
- Before installing the hob in the cut-out worktop, the gasket is to be attached to the back of the hob (pic. 2)
- To do this, first peel off the protective film from the self-adhesive seal and glue the gasket as close as possible to the outer edge of the hob (fig. 3,4).
Do not install the appliance without the foam gasket.
- Then turn the hob over and insert it into the cut-out of the furniture. Align the positioning symmetrically so that the distances between the hob and the countertop is the same on all sides. (fig. 5)
OPERATION
Before using the appliance for the first time
- thoroughly clean your induction hob first. The induction hob should be treated with the same care as a glass surface.
- switch on the ventilation in the room or open a window, as the appliance could emit an unpleasant smell during first use.
- operate the appliance while observing all safety guidelines.
Induction cooking zone operation principle
- An electric oscillator powers a coil placed inside the appliance. This coil produces a magnetic field, which induces eddy currents in the pot when it is placed on the hob.
- These currents make the pot real transmitters of heat, while the hob glass surface remains cool.
This requires the use of pots whose base is ferromagnetic, in other words,
susceptible to magnetic fields.
Overall, induction technology is characterized by two advantages:
- the heat is only emitted by the pot and its use is maximised,
- there is no thermal inertia since the cooking starts immediately when the pot is placed on the hob and ends once it is removed.
The protective device
If the hob has been installed correctly and is used properly, any protective
devices are rarely required.
Fan: protects and cools controls and power components. It can operate at
two different speeds and is activated automatically. Fan runs until the
electronic system has sufficiently cooled down regardless of the appliance or
the cooking zones being turned on or off.
Temperature sensor: The temperature of electronic circuits is
continuously monitored by a temperature sensor. If the temperature is raised
beyond a safe level, this protection system will reduce the cooking zone heat
setting or shut down the cooking zones adjacent to the overheated electronic
circuits.
Pan detection : allows the hob to detect pans placed in a cooking zone.
Small objects placed on the cooking zone (eg, spoon, knife, ring …) will not
be recognised as pans and the hob will not operate.

Small objects placed on the cooking zone (eg, spoon, knife, ring …) will not
be recognised as pans and the hob will not operate.
Pan detector
Pan detector is installed in induction hobs. The Pan detector starts heating automatically when a pan is detected in a cooking zone and stops heating when it is removed. This helps save electricity.
- When a suitable pan is placed in a cooking zone, the display shows the heat setting.
- Induction requires the use of suitable cookware with a ferromagnetic base (see Table).
If a pan is not placed in a cooking zone or the pan is unsuitable, the symbol
is displayed. The cooking zone will not operate. If a pan is not detected
within 10 minutes, the cooking zone will be switched off.
Switch off the cooking zone using the touch control sensor field rather than
by remo-ving the pan.
Pan detector does not operate as the on/off sensor.
- The induction hob is equipped with electronic touch control sensor fields, which are operated by touching the marked area with a finger.
- Each time a sensor field is touched, an acoustic signal can be heard.
- When switching the appliance on or off or changing the heat setting, attention should be paid that only one sensor field at a time is touched. When two or more sensor fields are touched at the same time (except timer and child lock), the appliance igno-res the control signals and may trigger a fault indication if sensor fields are touched for a long time.
- When you finish cooking switch off the cooking zone using touch control sensor fields and do not rely solely on the pan detector.
The high-quality cookware is an essential condition for efficient induction cooking.
Select cookware for induction cooking
Cookware characteristics.
- Always use high-quality cookware, with a perfectly flat base. This prevents the formation of local hot spots, where food might stick. Pots and pans with thick steel walls provide superior heat distribution.
- Make sure that the cookware base is dry: when filling a pot or when using a pot taken out of the refrigerator make sure its base is completely dry before placing it on the cooking zone. This is to avoid soiling the surface of the hob.
- The lid prevents heat from escaping and thus reduces heating time and lowers energy con-sumption.
- To determine if cookware is suitable, make sure that its base attracts a magnet.
- The cookware base has to be flat for optimal temperature control by the induction module.
- The concave base or deep embossed logo of the manufacturer interferes with the temperature induction control module and can cause overheating of the pot or pan.
- Do not use damaged cookware such as cookware with a deformed base due to excessive heat.
- When you use large ferromagnetic base cookware, whose diameter is less than the total diameter of the cookware, only the ferromagnetic base heats up. This results in a situation where it is not possible to uniformly distribute the heat in the cookware. If the ferromagnetic area is reduced due to the inclusion of aluminium parts then the effective heated area can be reduced. Problems with the detection of the cookware could arise or cookware may not be detected at all. To achieve optimum cooking results, the diameter of the ferromagnetic base should match that of the cooking zone. If the cookware is not detected in a given cooking zone, it is advisable to try it in a smaller cooking zone.
For induction cooking only ferromagnetic base materials such as:
- enamelled steel
- cast iron
- special stainless steel cookware designed for induction cooking.
Marking of kitchen cookware| | | Check for markings indicating that
the cookware is suitable for induction cooking.
---|---|---|---
Use magnetic cookware (enamelled steel, ferrite stainless steel, cast iron).
The easiest way to determine if your cookware is suitable is to perform the
„magnet test”. Find a generic magnet and check if it sticks to the base of the
cookware.

letter „H” to indicate residual heat.
Booster function „P”
The Booster Function increases the nominal power of the ø 210 mm cooking zone
from 2000W to 3000W, the 160 mm cooking zone from 1200W to 1400W.
To activate the Booster function, select the cooking zone, set the heat
setting to „9” and then touch the „+” (2) sensor field again. The letter „P”
will be shown on the display. To deactivate the Booster function, touch the
„-” (4) sensor field to reduce the heat setting or lift the cookware from the
cooking zone.
For 160, 210 mm cooking zone, operation of the Booster function is limited to
5 minutes. Once the Booster function is automatically deactivated, the cooking
zone continues to operate at its nominal power.
The Booster function can be reactivated, provided the appliance electronic
circuits and induction coils are not overheated. When the pot is lifted from
the cooking zone when the Booster function is in operation, it remains active
and the countdown continues.
When the appliance’s electronic circuits or induction coils overheat when the
Booster function is in operation, it is automatically deactivated. The cooking
zone continues to operate at its nominal power.
Booster function control
- Booster function control
- If activating the Booster function causes the overall power limit of a pair to be exceeded, the heat setting of the other cooking zone in a pair will be automa-tically reduced.
The residual heat indicator
Once a cooking zone is switched off, „H” is displayed on the relevant cooking
zone’s display to warn that the „cooking zone is still hot!”.
Do not touch the cooking zone at this time owing to the risk of burns from residual heat, and do not place any object on it that is sensitive to heat!
When the residual heat indicator goes out, the cooking zone can be touched,
however, keep in mind that it may still be warmer than ambient temperature.
When there is no power, the residual heat indicator does not light up.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- Proper routine maintenance and cleaning of the appliance can significantly extend its trouble-free operation.
- When cleaning induction hobs, the same principles apply to glass surfaces. Do not use under any circumstances any abrasive or caustic cleaners or scouring powders or pads! Do not use steam or pressure cleaners.
Cleaning after each use
- Wipe light stains with a damp cloth without detergent. The use of dishwashing liquid may cause a bluish surface discolouration. These persistent stains cannot always be removed right away, even using a special cleaner.
- Firmly adhering dirt can be carefully removed with a scraper. Then wipe the cooking surface with a damp cloth.
Removing stains
- Bright stains of pearl colour (residual aluminium) can be removed from the cool hob using a special cleaning agent. Limestone residue (eg. after evaporated water) can be removed by vinegar or a special cleaning agent.
- Do not turn off the cooking zone when removing sugar, food containing sugar, plastic and aluminium foil. Immediately and thoroughly scrape the leftovers off the hot cooking zone using a sharp scraper. Once the bulk of the stain is removed the hob can be turned off and clean the cooled-off cooking zone with a special cleaning agent.
Special cleaners are available in supermarkets, electrical and home appliance shops, drug stores, as well as retail food shops and kitchen showrooms. Scrapers can be pur-chased in DIY and construction equipment stores, as well as in shops carrying painting accessories.
Never apply a detergent on the hot cooking zone. It is best to let the cleaner
dry and then wipe it wet. Any traces of the detergent should be wiped off
clean with a damp cloth before re-heating. Otherwise, it can be corrosive.
The warranty will be void if you do not follow the above guidelines!
Periodic inspections
In addition to normal cleaning and maintenance:
- carry out periodic checks of touch controls and other elements. After the warranty expires, have authorised service to inspect the appliance every two years,
- repair and identify problems,
- carry out periodic maintenance of the hob.
Important!
If the hob’s controls do not respond for whatever reason, then turn off the
main circuit breaker or remove the fuse and contact customer service.
