PRIOR TO FIRST USE

Before using the appliance for the first time, proceed as follows: carefully unpack the induction hob and remove all packaging material. Keep the packaging (plastic bags and cardboard) out of reach of children. After unpacking the appliance, carefully check it for external damage that may have occurred during transport.
Place the induction hob on a firm, flat and heat resistant surface. Clean the induction hob with a slightly damp cloth. Check that the voltage corresponds with the voltage stated on the information plate before you insert the plug in the socket.

OPERATING THE HOB

Only use pans that are suitable for an induction hob and have the correct size with a cross-section from 15 to 20 cm.
The induction hob works by means of electronic sensors that are operated by touching the corresponding touch control. Each time the touch control is touched or the position knob is turned, you can hear a sound signal. Make sure the operating section is always clean and dry.

PLACE A PAN ON THE CERAMIC PLATE

• Check that the ventilation openings are not blocked and do not place cookware in the direct vicinity of the induction hob.
• Place the pan with food or liquid in the centre of a cooking zone.

INSERT THE PLUG IN THE SOCKET

SWITCHING OFF THE INDUCTION HOB

• Press the on/off button once to switch off the cooking zone manually or set the position knob to 0.
  Caution: the glass plate will be hot [HH].

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR

The residual heat indicator shows that the glass plate is still too hot to touch in the area of the cooking zone.
If the area of the cooking zone is still too hot, [HH] appears on the display. When the temperature gets lower, but is still hot, the indication [HH] will change into [hh]. The temperature of the glass plate is low, when [–] is flashing on the display.

Activating the child lock while the induction hob is operating.

• Press the touch control of the child lock for 2 seconds. The display shows [L+set position], for instance [L9], and the indicator above the touch control of the child lock lights up. Now, only the on/off button and the touch control of the child lock will be functional.

De-activating the child lock

• Press the touch control of the child lock for 2 seconds to de-activate the child lock. The display shows [set position], for instance [9], and the indicator above the touch control of the child lock is off.

PANS

Pans that have already been used other hobs, such as gas hobs, are no longer suitable for an induction hob. Therefore, buy a new pan prior to first use, if you do not have a suitable pan.

• Which requirements should a good pan meet? The pan should contain materials that are magnetic. Cookware made of steel, enamelled steel, cast iron or stainless steel yields the best results.
• Use pans with a thick, flat bottom with the same diameter as a cooking zone. This reduces cooking time.
• The pans must have a flat bottom and a minimum diameter of 12 cm and maximum diameter of 20 cm. The cooking zone is a circle and the point where the lines cross is the centre of the circle.
• After first use, white stains are sometimes found in the pan. This is normal. Pour some vinegar in the pan and heat it to 60- 80°C. Then remove the stains with a brush.
• Unsuitable materials for pans are: glass, ceramic, aluminium, copper and other non-magnetic materials.
• When the pan is removed from the cooking zone, the induction hob immediately stops heating.
• A pan should always be placed in the centre of a cooking zone.
• In the case of some pans, it is possible that you can hear different noises. This is caused by the shape of the pan and does not affect the function or safety of the induction hob.

ENERGY SAVING

• Place the pan on the cooking zone before it is switched on. If you switch on a cooking zone without a pan on top of it, the cooking zone will do nothing.
• Always use a lid on the pan to reduce cooking time.
• Reduce the power when the liquid is boiling.
• Do not use too much liquid or fat. Cooking or frying takes longer if you use too much.
• Select the correct power for the different cooking possibilities.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Prior to cleaning, always remove the plug from the wall socket. Allow cooking zones to cool down before cleaning the induction hob.

• When cleaning the surface of the induction hob, do not use aggressive abrasive cleaning agents, spray cans or sharp objects that have not been developed for this purpose.

• After a period of time, the ventilation openings can become clogged due to the accumulation of dust and other dirt. Clean the ventilation openings with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a soft brush or a mini vacuum cleaner.
  Caution: Do not rinse the induction hob with water.

• Daily clean the surface of the induction hob with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent, such as a washing-up liquid.

• Dry properly with paper towels or a dry tea towel.

• Some pans can leave a metal-like substance on the glass plate. Remove it immediately after use, because it will get increasingly more difficult to remove. If necessary, use a damp cloth with a little bit of toothpaste or some washing-up liquid.

• If the induction hob is not used for a longer period of time, remove the plug from the socket and store the appliance in a room that is free from dust and vermin.

• Boiled over food can be removed by soaking it with a damp cloth and a little bit of washing-up liquid, or you can use a glass scraper. Caution: the glass scraper is sharp. Keep it away from children.

• Use a special cleaning agent for ceramic/induction hobs in case of stubborn stains. Caution: observe the instructions on the packaging.
