Cookware

Use thick, flat, smooth bottomed good quality cookware made of steel, enameled steel, cast iron or stainless steel. The quality and composition of the cookware has a direct affect on cooking performance.
Cookware with enameled steel, aluminum or copper bottoms can cause a metallic residue to remain on the hob. If left, this becomes difficult to remove. Clean the hob after every use.
Cookware is suitable for induction cooking if a magnet sticks to the bottom of it.
Cookware must be placed centrally on the cooktop. If it is not placed correctly, is displayed.
When using certain pans, you may hear various noises coming from them, this is due to the design of the pans and does not effect the performance or safety of the hob.
The minimum cookware diameter that the elements can detect is Q110mm for 160mm – 210mm hobs and Q160mm for a 290mm hob. Cooking performance is improved with a larger cooking area.

The appliance is operated by pressing buttons and the functions are confirmed by displays and audible sounds.

When the timer has run down, a signal will sound, the timer display will show “00” and the assigned cooking zone timer LED will blink. The programmed cooking zone will switch off and “H” will be displayed if the cooking zone is hot.

The sound signal and the blinking of the timer LED will stop automatically after 2 minutes and/or by pressing any button.

Buzzer

While the hob is in operation, the following activities will be signaled by the buzzer.

Normal button activation will be accompanied with a short sound signal.
Continuous button operation over a longer period of time (10 seconds) will be accompanied with a longer, intermittent sound signal.

Boost Function To use this function, select a cooking zone and set the desired cooking level, then press the “P” (Boost) button. The Boost function can only be activated if it is applicable with the cooking zone selected. If the Boost Function is active, a “P” will be shown on the corresponding display.

5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

5.1 Cleaning

WARNING: Switch off the appliance and allow it to cool before cleaning is
to be carried out. General Instructions

Check whether the cleaning materials are appropriate and recommended by the manufacturer before use on your appliance.
Use cream cleaners or liquid cleaners which do not contain particles. Do not use caustic (corrosive) creams, abrasive cleaning powders, rough wire wool or hard tools as they may damage the cooker surfaces. Do not use cleaners that contain particles, as they may scratch the glass, enameled and/or painted parts of your appliance.
Should any liquids overflow, clean them immediately to avoid parts becoming damaged.
Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning any part of the appliance.
Cleaning the Ceramic Glass Ceramic glass can hold heavy utensils but may be broken if it is hit with a sharp object.

WARNING : Ceramic Cooktops – if the surface is cracked, to avoid the possibility of an electric shock, switch off the appliance and call for service.

Use a cream or liquid cleaner to clean the vitroceramic glass. Then, rinse and dry them thoroughly with a dry cloth.

Do not use cleaning materials meant for steel as they may damage the glass.

If substances with a low melting point are used in the cookware’s base or coatings, they can damage the glassceramic cooktop. If plastic, tin foil, sugar or sugary foods have fallen on the hot glass-ceramic cooktop, please scrape it off the hot surface as quickly and as safely as possible. If these substances melt, they can damage the glassceramic cooktop. When you cook very sugary items like jam, apply a layer of a suitable protective agent beforehand if it is possible.
Dust on the surface must be cleaned with a wet cloth.
Any changes in color to the ceramic glass will not affect the structure or durability of the ceramic and is not due to a change in the material.

Colour changes to the ceramic glass may be for a number of reasons:

Spilt food has not been cleaned off the surface.
Using incorrect dishes on the hob will erode the surface.
Using the wrong cleaning materials. Cleaning the Stainless Steel Parts (if available)
· Clean the stainless steel parts of your appliance on a regular basis.
· Wipe the stainless steel parts with a soft cloth soaked in only water. Then, dry them thoroughly with a dry cloth.

Do not clean the stainless steel parts while they are still hot from cooking.
Do not leave vinegar, coffee, milk, salt, water, lemon or tomato juice on the stainless steel for a long time.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING&TRANSPORT

6.1 troubleshooting

If you still have a problem with your appliance after checking these basic troubleshooting steps, please contact an authorized service person or qualified technician.

Problem

Hob control card’s display is blacked out. The hob or cooking zones cannot be switched on.
The hob switches off while it is in use and an ‘F’ flashes on each display. The hob switches off while it is use.
The hob controls are not working and the child lock LED is on. The saucepans make noise
during cooking or your hob makes a clicking sound during cooking. The ‘U’ symbol lights up in the display of one of the cooking zones.
Power level 9 or ‘P’ is automatically reduced. If you select power level ‘P’ or 9 on two cooking zones, which are on the same side, at the same time.

Possible Cause

There is no power supply.
The controls are damp or an object is resting on them.
One of the cooking zones has been on for too long.
Child lock is active. This is normal with induction hob cookware. This is caused by the transfer of energy from the hob to
the cookware. There is no pan on the cooking zone, or the pan is unsuitable.
Maximum power level for the two zones is reached
Solution Check the household fuse for the appliance. Check whether there is a power cut by trying other electronic appliances. Dry the controls or remove the object. You can use the cooking zone again by switching it back on. Switch off the child lock. This is normal. There is no risk, neither to your hob nor to your cookware. Use a suitable pan.
Operating both zones at power level ‘P’ or 9 would exceed the permitted maximum power level for the two
zones.

6.2 transport

If you need to transport the product, use the original product packaging and carry it using its original case. Follow the transport signs on the packaging. Tape all independent parts to the product to prevent damaging the product during transport. If you do not have the original packaging, prepare a carriage box so that the appliance, especially the external surfaces of the product, is protected against external threats.
