• You have not placed a pan on the correct cooking zone or,
• The pan you’re using is not suitable for induction cooking or,
• The pan is too small or not properly centered on the cooking zone.

Notes:

1. No heating takes place unless there is a suitable pan in the cooking zone.
2. The display will auto-turn off after 2 minutes if no suitable pan is placed on it.
3. When an unsuitable size or non-magnetic pan (e.g. aluminum), or some other small item (e.g. knife, fork, key) has been left on the hob, the corresponding cooking zone will automatically turn off in 1 minute.

Residual Heat Warning

• Beware of hot surfaces When the hob has been operating for some time, there will be some residual heat. The letter “ ” appears in the power setting indicator to warn you to keep away from it.

It can also be used as an energy-saving function:

• If you want to heat further pans, use the hotplate that is still hot.

Auto Shutdown

Another safety feature of the hob is auto shutdown. This occurs whenever you forget to switch off the cooking zone. The default shutdown times as below table:

Over-heat Protection

• A temperature sensor equipped can monitor the temperature inside the hob. When an excessive temperature is monitored, the hob will auto stop operation.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Important: Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from ELECTRICITY supply and ensure the appliances are completely cool.

Cleaning the Hob Surface

• Clean spillages from the hob surface as soon as possible after use. Always ensure the surface is cool enough before cleaning.
• Use a soft cloth or kitchen paper to clean the surface. If the spillage has dried on the surface, you may need to use a specialist vitro-ceramic glass cleaner, which is available for most supermarkets.
• Do not use other abrasive cleaners and/or wire wool etc.., as it may scratch the ceramic glass surface of your hob.

Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic

• Special care should be taken when removing hot substances to avoid permanent damage to the glass surface.
• Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface of your cooktop (not covered by the warranty) unless the spill is removed while still hot. Special care should be taken when removing hot substances.

Maintenance of the Hob

   • Check whether there is a power cut of your department;
   • Check whether the appliance be connected to electricity properly;
   • Has the timer setting elapsed;
   • Whether it reaches the longest cooking time setting and auto shut off;
   • Whether there is liquid boiling over touch control panel and overflow protection devices auto shut off;
2. The touch control panel buttons can’t be active:
   • Whether it’s under “Child Lock”, which there is “Lo” shows in timer displayer;
   • Whether liquid/wet cloth over touch control panel active overflow protection;
3. After cooking there is “H” shown on display:
   • This is normal. The hob has Residual Heat Warning safety features. It will remain on until the surface is cool enough to touch.
4. After turn off, the fan of the induction hob remains working for a while:
   • This is normal, this is to help appliances completely cool down.
5. Some pans make crackling or clicking noises during use of the induction hob:
   • This is normal, it’s the sound of induction coils during working, and for different construction of your cookware, the clicking might be slightly different.
6. The glass is being scratched:
   • Check whether you use unsuitable cookware, like rough-edged cookware.
   • Check whether unsuitable, abrasive scourer or cleaning products being used.
7. The heating element of the ceramic hob turns on and off alternately when working:
   • This is a normal and natural feature for ceramic hob. The programmer of ceramic hob, together with the thermostat or thermocouple in heating element, could control the hob work at set power level and avoid overheating by heating element work on/off alternately.
   • If working at the highest power level, the heating element will continue to turn on for a certain time then on/off alternately.
   • If working at other lower power level, the heating element will on/off alternately at certain frequency since beginning based on power setting of the cooking zone.

Hints and Tips

Everyday soiling on glass (fingerprints, marks, stains left by food or non- sugary spillovers on the glass)| 1.  Switch off the power supply.

2.  Apply a vitro-ceramic glass cleaner while the glass is still warm (but not hot!)

3.  Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.

4.  Switch on the power supply to the hob.

| •  When turn off the power supply of hob, there will be no ‘hot surface’ indication, but the cooking zone may still be hot! Take extreme care.

•  Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon scourers and harsh/abrasive cleaning agents may scratch the glass. Always read the label to check if your cleaner or scourer is suitable.

•  Never leave cleaning residue on the hob glass surface: the glass may

become stained.

Boil over, melts, and hot sugary spills on the glass| Remove these immediately with a fish slice, palette knife or razor blade scraper suitable for ceramic glass of hob, but beware of hot cooking zone surfaces:

1.  Switch off the power supply.

2.  Hold the blade or utensil at a 30° angle and scrape the soiling or spill to a cool area of the hob.
