Introduction

We are pleased you decided in favour of this superior induction cooking plate and would like to thank you for your conﬁdence. Its easy operation and wide range of applications will certainly ﬁll you with enthusiasm as well. To make sure you can enjoy using this appliance for a long time, please read through the following notes carefully and observe them. Keep this instruction manual safe. Hand out all documents to third persons when passing on the appliance. Thank you.

General notes for cooking with induction
Cooking with induction is based upon a heating principle that is completely different from cooking on conventional cooktops: The heat is generated straight in the pot bottom by eddy currents. The cooktop itself is not heated, but only the bottom of the cooking vessel. Consequently, the usual heat losses are avoided and the efﬁciency of the energy expended is optimized.

Advantages of induction cooking

As the pot bottom is heated instantaneously, induction cooking is very energy-saving (saves up to 50 % in comparison with other cooking methods).
The induction cooktop generates or interrupts the heat supply immediately after the activation of the control. This efﬁcient energy utilization allows for exact control of the heat supply and is furthermore time-saving in the cooking process.
A further amount of time is saved on account of the extreme speed by which energy is available after switch-on. No waiting times! For instance, when heating 2 l of water you will be 60 %quicker than you are on conventional cooktops!
Induction cooking provides for extra safety: Even when the cooking utensils are removed from the cooktop without having turned it off, the heating process is interrupted automatically. In case a cloth or another combustible material should be placed on the cooktop by accident, it cannot burn even if the cooktop has been activated. After the cooking process, nothing but the residual heat emitted by the pot is noticeable on the glass ceramic plate.
The cooking surface is very easy to clean. As it is not heated directly, leftovers cannot scorch. Neither do you have to wait for it to cool before cleaning.

Selecting pots and pans

Suitable: any ﬂat-bottomed (12 – 23 cm in diameter) cooking utensils made of iron, such as enameled pots, pots made of cast iron or of magnetic stainless steel. The very short response times to setting changes (short pre-heating time, quick disable searing) are at thick pot bottoms only possible to a limited extent.
Unsuitable: any cooking utensils consisting of aluminum, copper, glass or ceramic, as well as any pots having a pot diameter of less than 12 cm.

Tip : Check by means of a magnet whether the pot bottom is suitable. If the magnet clings to the outside of the pot bottom, the vessel is qualiﬁed for induction cooking.

Getting acquainted with your appliance

Touch control sensors
The appliance is equipped with touch control sensors which grant an easy and convenient handling.

Touching the sensor with your ﬁnger activates the relevant function and an acoustic acknowledgment signal.

NOTE : Always keep the control panel clean and dry. Do not touch it with ﬁngers wet and do not use it as a shelf of deposit as this might lead to malfunctions.

Residual heat indicator
Each cooking zone is equipped with a residual heat indicator which shows whether the cooking zone is still hot.

If the temperature of the cooking zone has reached a value of more than 80 °C due to the waste heat emitted by the pot, the LED “heat” (8a) will glow.
As soon as the temperature has dropped below 80 °C or the appliance is disconnected from the mains, the LED “heat” (8a) goes out.

Pot recognition
Each cooking zone features a sensor that recognizes whether there is a vessel on the cooking zone.

If no suitable vessel is recognized on the cooking zone after switch-on, the display (4) will show “E0” and an alternate warning signal will sound. If no pot is recognized within 60 seconds, the appliance will switch automatically into standby mode.
If a pot is removed from the cooking zone during operation, the display (4) will show “E0” and an alternate warning signal will sound. If a pot is re-placed within 60 seconds, the cooking process will continue with the level last set and an operating time that might have been set before will continue to run. However, if no pot is recognized within 60 seconds, the appliance will switch automatically into standby mode.

Fan
After switch-on an inside fan starts working, which cools the interior parts of the appliance in order to prevent the appliance from overheating. It is normal for the fan to continue running in the standby mode after a long operation time.

Operating time restriction

The operating time restriction will cause the cooktop to switch automatically in the standby mode if the settings have not been changed for a period of 2 hours. This happens independently of the respectively set level.
After an automatic switch-off the cooking plate can be turned on once again and the maximum operating time will be active again.
In case the operating time (timer) is set for a period of more than 2 hours, this setting takes priority. The appliance switches off automatically after the set time has elapsed.

Priority regulation
Although any other sensor is still activated, the appliance may be brought to standby mode at any time during operation by touching the associated main switch sensor.

Operating the appliance

Standby mode

Connect the mains plug with the power socket.
The display (4) shows “OFF“ and an acoustic signal is audible. The control is in standby mode.

Switching-on

Position suitable cookware on the middle of the cooking zone.

For switching-on touch the main switch (1). The display (4) shows “00“ and the LEDs “power“ (7) and “temp“ (6) are ﬂashing.
Now decide on the cooking mode you would like to work with (either “power level“ or “temperature level“).

NOTE : If there is no further activation within 60 seconds after switch- on, the control will switch back to the standby mode.

Cooking in “power level“ mode
The “power level” mode is ideal for boiling water and for steaming.

For cooking in the “power level” mode touch the “power“ sensor (7). The appliance automatically switches to the power level “06“. The display (4) shows “06“ and the LED “power“ (8b) is lit continuously.
NOTE : In case the appliance had not been separated from the mains after its previous use the display shows, as a suggestion, the power lever as lastly set.
By touching the “+“ sensor (3) you can increase the power up to level 10.
By touching the “-“ sensor (5) you can reduce the power down to level 01.

By default the “power level” mode is displayed by the ﬁgures “01” to “10”. By simultaneously touching the “+” and “-“ sensors for 3 seconds the display switches over to show the power values instead of the power levels; this means for example that “100” is displayed instead of “01” and “800” instead of “06” etc.. This format is valid until the user will set it back. The selected display format remains saved also after switch-off. Only after pulling the mains plug or a cut-off from the mains there is a reset of the control to the default format with the ﬁgures “01” to “10”.

Details on the power levels/power values:
The values indicated are reference values and apply to standard steel pots with 20 cm Ø.

NOTE : The temperature at the bottom of the cookware is checked by a sensor in the center of the cooking zone. The regulation will only function properly if the cookware covers this area. The cookware should have a ﬂat and not too thick bottom to ensure a good heat transfer. The maximum tolerable temperature for the “power level” mode is 200 °C.

Cooking in “temperature level” mode
The “temperature level” mode is ideal for roasting, grilling or frying.

Cooking small food quantities
Induction technology with its quick and direct heat transfer may cause a short-term over-heating of small food quantities to be cooked. Thus we recommend for heating small quantities to start with “power level” mode at a low power level (01 – 03), and to switch over to the desired temperature level after a few minutes.

Cooking large food quantities
In the upper-performance range of the “temperature level” mode the power output is reduced. So in order to avoid long heating-up sequences, for heating bigger quantities (> 1500 ml) we recommend starting with “power level” mode at a high level (09 – 10) and switching over to the desired temperature level after a few minutes. The smart combination of both cooking modes allows for the comfortable exploitation of all the advantages induction cooking provides.

For cooking with the “temperature level“ mode touch sensor “temp“(6).
The appliance automatically switches to temperature level “120 °C“. The display (4) shows “120“, the LED ”temp“ (8c) is lit continuously.
NOTE: In case the appliance had not been separated from the mains after its previous use the display shows, as a suggestion, the power lever as lastly set.
By touching the “+“ sensor (3) you can increase the temperature up to 240 °C.
By touching the “-“ sensor (5) you can reduce the temperature down to 60 °C.

Details on the temperature levels:
The values indicated are reference values and apply to standard steel pots with 20 cm Ø.

level 06 160 °C
level 07 180 °C
level 08 200 °C
level 09 220 °C
level 10 240 °C

NOTE : The temperature at the bottom of the cookware is checked by a sensor in the centre of the cooking zone. The regulation will only function properly if the cookware covers this area. The cookware should have a ﬂat and not too thick bottom to ensure a good heat transfer. The maximum tolerable temperature for the “temperature level” mode is 240 °C.

Changeover between “power level” and “temperature level” mode
You may change at any time from the “power level” mode to the “temperature level” mode and vice versa. The last selected setting of the respective function is saved.

During operation in the “power level” mode touch the sensor “temp“ (6) for changing to the “temperature level” mode.
During operation in the “temperature level” mode touch the sensor “power“ (7) for changing to the “power level” mode.

Setting the operating time (timer) – from 1 up to 180 minutes
The timer can be activated in the “power level” mode as well as in the “temperature level” mode.

For activating the timer touch the “timer“ sensor (2). The appliance automatically switches into the “operating time” mode. The display (4) shows “0:00“, the LED “timer“(8d) is lit continuously.

NOTE : If there is no further activation within 5 seconds after activating the operating time, the control will switch back to the normal cooking mode without timer.

By touching the “+“ sensor (3) you can increase the operating time in minute intervals up to 3 hours (180 minutes).
By touching the “-“ sensor (5) you can reduce the operating time in minute intervals.
By continuously pressing the “+“ sensor (3) or “-“ sensor (5) you can increase or reduce the operating time in 10-minute intervals.
Starting with the “-“ sensor (5) the display commences with “3:00“ (180 minutes). By touching this sensor again you can reduce the operating time.

On the display (4) the adjusted operating time e. g. “1:15” (1 hour, 15 minutes) is indicated. About 5 seconds after setting the timer the display switches back to the initial function. When touching the senor “timer” (2) again, the display (4) shows the active remaining operation time for approximately 5 seconds; now the timer can also be adjusted once again. Once the set time has elapsed there is a short audible signal and the control automatically switches over to standby mode.

NOTE : Changing the power or temperature level will not affect the time set.

Setting the operating time (timer) – reset function
Touching the “timer” sensor (2) for 3 seconds during active operating time mode (timer), the timer display gets reset to the value “0:00” and the set time is not active any more. In this case there will be no automatic switch- off and the appliance keeps on working.

Switching-off

For switching-off touch the main switch (1). The display (4) shows “OFF“.
Now the control is in standby mode.

NOTE :

If the waste heat of the pot creates a temperature on the cooking zone of more than 80 °C the LED “heat” (8a) is lit. As soon as the temperature has sunk below 80 °C, respectively the unit is disconnected from the mains the LED “heat” (8a) expires.
: It is normal for the fan to continue running in the standby mode after a long operation time.

OUR ADVICE: Electrical appliances featuring a standby mode consume some power also in a non-operating state. Save energy by disconnecting your appliance from the mains after the fan has stopped or during non-use periods by pulling the mains plug.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before cleaning always disconnect the unit from the mains!Let the appliance cool down before cleaning!

Remove any coarse residues from the glass ceramic plate by means of a special glass scraper, which is available in the specialized trade and in household equipment shops.
