1 beep = connection to the mains; switching on; operation confirmation; change in the settings;
Beeps every two seconds – cookware has been removed from the cooker; when an error code appears.

OVERHEAT PROTECTION

The induction cooker is equipped with overheating protection function. If the top plate becomes overheated (with empty pot or pan put on it), a long sound signal will sound. It will automatically shut off after several minutes of cooking. Switch off the appliance, disconnect it from electric power and let it cool down.

If overheating occurs, i.e. if you (contrary to operation manual) heat up an empty pot or a pan made from low-quality material with insufficient deformation resistance, the aforementioned protection may not react correctly. The appliance top plate may be irreversibly damaged.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Plug the power cord into an electric outlet. The appliance will switch to a standby mode (“OFF” will appear on the display). Then put a suitable cookware on the plate centre.
To switch on the appliance, press B1 “ON/OFF” button. “00” and function indicators will start flashing on the display.

POWER function

Start heating by pressing B2 button. The first press will select the heating mode, depending on the set up output power. B9 indicator will light. The display will show the power setup „06“. Select the required power from 01 to 10 using the rotary knob. For levels 1 to 6, cyclic switching is applied to achieve lower output power.

TEMPERATURE control function

There is a temperature sensor underneath the ceramic glass plate to detect the bottom temperature of the cookware put on the top plate. User can set the desired temperature, and the thermostat will adjust the current temperature of the cookware bottom to match the set temperature. Once the set temperature is reached, the heating (power supply) will switch off. If the bottom temperature drops too low, the heating (power supply) will be restored. This mode of operation maintains the temperature within the defined interval (± 20% depending on the cookware in use). The heating mode controlled by the temperature setting may be selected by pressing B2 button again. Temperature will set to 120 °C and B8 indicator will light. Select the desired temperature by the rotary knob in the interval from 60 °C to 240 °C (in increments of 20 °C). To set up the heating timer, press B3 button. B5 indicator will light and the display shows “0:00” (“:” is steadily lit). Turn the knob and select the required cooking time in minutes up to 3 hours (0:01 to 3:00). Confirm the set value by pressing B3 button repeatedly, or wait 5 seconds (“:” will start flashing). After the cooking time is selected, countdown will start. Once the countdown reaches zero, the appliance will automatically shut off.
