Tips for reducing energy consumption and increasing efficiency

The new appliance is exceptionally efficient and economical with energy. Some tips follow below for making your appliance even more energy-efficient and efficient.

Choose a cooking zone that matches the size of the pan. The bottom of the pan should cover the cooking zone as much as possible.
Make sure the pan is always in the center of the cooking zone.
Use cookware with a base diameter that matches the diameter of the cooking zone.
Place lids on pans. This prevents unnecessary heat from escaping and reduces cooking fumes and condensation.
Use pans with flat bottoms. A pan with a non-flat bottom consumes more energy.
Use cookware that matches the amount of food. A small pan requires less energy than a large, not quite- full pan.
Use as little water as possible. The more water in the pan, the more energy is needed to heat it up.
After boiling or frying, switch back to a lower power setting in time to reduce energy consumption and to limit the overproduction of vapors.
Position your cookware in such a way that rising vapours reach the extraction surface of the fan
Turn on the appliance’s fan at the lowest speed when you start cooking to control humidity and eliminate cooking odors.
Increase the appliance’s fan speed only when the amount of cooking vapor requires it.
Use the highest fan speed only when necessary.
If a lot of cooking vapor is released, switch to a higher fan speed in time. This is more efficient than trying to catch vapor that has already spread throughout the kitchen by using the appliance for a long time.
Use the delay mode if the appliance has one. Do not let the appliance ventilate unnecessarily after cooking.
Keep the appliance filter/filters clean to optimize grease and odor filtering efficiency.
Ensure adequate air supply in the room, so that the appliance can operate efficiently and economically.
Avoid any draught above the cooking surface for efficient operation.

USING THE APPLIANCE

First use of the appliance

Scan your QR code on the warranty sticker and register your device.
Remove all labels and stickers from the glass.
Before the first use, clean the glass plate with a damp cloth and dry it off. Do not use detergent; this can result in a bluish haze appearing.

Precautions against damage

Damaged cooking pans or cooking pans with rough bases (cast iron without enameling) can cause damage to the glass.
Sand or other abrasive materials may cause damage to the glass.
Do not allow items (even small ones) to fall on the glass.
Avoid the impact of cooking pans against the edge of the glass.
Do not place or leave empty cooking pans on the hob.
Never place a hot pan on the control zone.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE

The appliance is an induction hob with integrated worktop extraction.
The induction hob has 4 cooking zones with an integrated extractor at the center of the hob that ensures the removal of cooking vapors.
The hob and extractor can be operated separately.
You will find an explanation of the operation of the device further in this manual.

Principle of induction
There is an induction coil under each cooking zone.
When this is on, it produces a variable electromagnetic field that produces an induction current in the bottom of the cooking pan. This results in the warming up of the cooking pan on the cooking zone.
Of course, suitable cooking pans are required for this:

Recommended cooking pans include those with a magnetic base (you can check this using a magnet): a cast iron kettle, black iron pan, enameled metal cooking pans, stainless steel pans with magnetic base, etc.
Unsuitable cooking pans include copper, stainless steel, aluminum, glass, wood, ceramics, pottery, stainless steel without magnetic base, etc.

The induction cooking zone immediately takes the size of the cooking pan into account. If the diameter is too small, the cooking pan will not work. The diameter varies as a function of the diameter of the cooking zone. Should the cooking pan not be adjusted to the hob, the symbol will continue to flash.

Technical specifications of the induction hob

the power transfer may vary, depending on the sizes and the materials of the cooking pans
calculated following the methods for measuring the performance (EN 60350-2)

Noise caused by induction
When using an induction hob, all kinds of noises may occur. These noises are dependent on the construction and the materials of the bottom of the cooking utensils.

Humming
This occurs when cooking at a higher power and this is caused by the amount of energy that is transferred from the hob to the cooking utensils. The noise disappears or becomes weaker when you set the hob to a lower position.

Sputtering
This noise occurs when the utensils consist of layers of different materials. The noise is caused by vibrations in the areas where the different material layers touch each other.

Whistling
Such noises generally arise when cooking with utensils consisting of layers of different materials and when two adjacent cooking zones are used simultaneously at maximum power. The whistling noise disappears or becomes weaker when you set the hob to a lower position.

Clicking
At lower power positions clicking noises may occur at electronic switches.

Buzzing
A buzzing sound may occur when the fan is switched on. This fan cools the electronics at intensive use of the hob. When the temperature is too high, the fan will keep running after the hob has been switched off.

INDUCTION HOB

Controlling the induction hob

Control keys and slide operation
The device is equipped with touch control keys with which you can set the various functions. Touching the control key operates the function. Activating a function will cause a light, reading and/or sound signal to be displayed.

WARNING: Do not push multiple control keys simultaneously during normal use.
To select power, simply glide your finger over the slider, on the LED indication.
You can also access a certain level directly by using your finger to select the desired level.

Controlling the hob
Switch on and off

If there is no control input within 20 seconds, the electronics will return to the wait position.

Pan detection
This hob is equipped with an interactive control system that makes use of the hob even easier.
When you place a pan on the hob, it is automatically detected. You will also see a to show you which slider to use for the zone in question. The pan detection ensures optimum safety.

The induction hob does not work:

In case there is no pan on the cooking zone or if the pan is unsuitable for induction, it is impossible to put the power on and the symbol will appear on the display.
The operation is suspended when the pan is removed from the cooking zone during cooking. The symbol will appear on the display. The symbol will disappear when the pan is placed back onto the cooking surface.
The cooking will then continue at the same power level as selected previously.

Switch off the cooking zone after use. The pan detection will no longer be active.

Indication of residual heat
After the cooking zone or hob has been switched off completely, the hob glass will still be warm, which can be seen by . The symbol disappears when the cooking zone glass can be handled without danger.

WARNING: As long as the residual heat indication remains active, the cooking zone(s) must not be touched and no heat-sensitive items should be placed on the cooking zone. Risk of fire and burns.

Power function and Super Power function
The Power function P and Super Power increases the power rating of the selected cooking zone. If this function is activated, these cooking zones will be subjected to considerably higher power for 10 minutes. The Power function is designed to quickly heat large quantities of water, for pasta for example.

Management of maximum power:
The hob is divided into 2 separate heating groups.

If this power limit is exceeded when switching to a high selected cooking heat or switching the power function on, the power management module reduces the cooking position of the relevant cooking zone. This cooking zone will first flash, and it is then automatically reduced to the maximum possible cooking heat The maximum individual power for each zone is 3000 W.
If simultaneous cooking is taking place on zones A1 and A2 or B1 and B2, the power of 3700 W is divided between these 2 zonesA1 and A2 or B1 and B2.

In order to be able to make use of the maximum possible power for 2 zones at the same time, use a combination of zone A1 or A2 and B1 or B2.

Timer function
The timer function allows all cooking zones to be used simultaneously for different periods of time (0 to 1H59 minutes) for each zone.

After a few seconds the LED no longer flashes. The time has been selected and the countdown has begun.

If different timers are to be activated on multiple zones, this operation must be repeated several times. The activated timer indication no longer lights up above the relative cooking zone.
The timer can also be used as an independent cooking alarm without selecting a cooking zone. If the hob is to be switched off, the independent cooking timer will continue until the end of the set time.

After a few seconds the timer display stops flashing.
The time is selected and counting down starts.

Turn off automatically at the end of the cooking time:

As soon as the selected cooking time is up, the display will flash , a beep will be heard. To stop the audible signal and the flashing, press [–] or [+]on the timer.

Programming auto heat-up
All cooking zones are equipped with an auto heat-up function. The cooking zone will initially operate at full power for a certain amount of time before automatically reducing to the selected power level.

Stop & Go function
This function temporarily interrupts the activity of the hob and allows a restart with the same settings.

Recall function
After turning the hob off , it is possible to recall the last selected settings: (this up to a maximum of 10 seconds)

State of all cooking zones (power).
Minutes and seconds of the programmed cooking zones by the timers.
“Automatic cooking” function.
Keep warm function.

The recall procedure is as follows:

Push the control key for 2 seconds.
Push II before the flashing stops.
The previous settings are now active again.

Keep warm function
This function makes it possible to automatically reach and maintain a temperature of 70°C.
This prevents pans from overflowing or your food from sticking to the bottom of the pans.

The maximum duration of the keep warm function is 2 hours.

Flexzone
This function allows you to join the 2 left and 2 right zones so they operate as 2 large flex zones. This function can be activated manually, or automatically when a large pot/pan be placed on the cooking surface.

Grill function
This special cooking function optimises heating and warming in a cast iron pot/grill plate. This will ensure improved results of the food you are cooking.
The cooking zones A1 and A2 or B1 and B2 will be automatically shared using the Flexzone.

Locking the controller
To avoid a hob selection being changed, during cleaning for example, the controller must be locked (except the on/off button).
This function can only be activated 10 seconds after switching the hob on.

Chef function
This function changes the hob into a number of zones with different power levels. This automatically switches the cooking zones into a Flexzone.
The power levels can be changed if required. With the Chef function you therefore change your hob into a professional appliance where you can set the zones for intensive cooking, simmering or keeping warm.

After 20 hours of cooking, will appear on the timer display.

Follow the cleaning instructions set out in the chapter Cleaning and Maintenance.
Recirculation filter replacement indicator The Monoblock filter should be changed after 450 hours of cooking. This is automatically indicated by the appliance. After 450 hours of cooking, will appear on the timer display.

Follow the replacement instructions set out in the chapter Cleaning and Maintenance.

COOKING ADVICE

Quality of the pots and pans
Suitable cookware, pots and pans include steel, enameled steel, cast iron, stainless steel with a magnetic base, and aluminum with a magnetic base (±100mm min). Unsuitable pans include aluminum and stainless steel without magnetic base, copper, brass, ceramics, and porcelain. The manufacturers will state whether their products are suitable for induction.

In order to ensure your pans are suitable:

Pour a little water in a pan and place it on an induction cooking zone set to . The water should be hot within a few seconds.
Hold a magnet to the base of the pan. The magnet should stick.

Some cooking pots hum when they are placed on an induction cooking zone. This does not mean the device is faulty, and it will not affect operation. This noise decreases when you adjust the power.

Lift the pans up when you want to move them to avoid stains and scratches

As often as possible, prepare meals with the pan lid on.

Dimensions of the cooking pans
The cooking zones can (to a certain extent) automatically adapt to the diameter of the pan. The base of the pan must have a minimum diameter (± 9cm) for working with the selected cooking zone. Place the pan in the middle of the cooking zone in order to optimise the energy transfer. The bottom of the cooking pan must cover as much of the cooking zone as possible. If the diameter of the pan is much larger than the zone, this will not result in an optimal cooking result.
Only the surface of the pan above the induction coil will then generate the heat. The rest of the surface that is not above the induction coil will receive heat via conduction through the pan surface.
Therefore, if the pan is much larger than the cooking zone, it is advised to set the cooking zone to a slightly lower level to allow the heat to be divided up more evenly.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Follow all instructions as described in the section “Using the appliance” and as mentioned in the separate booklet “Safety instructions” supplied with the appliance and listed on our website www.novy.com.
Before cleaning, check the cooking plate has been fully switched off and the glass above the cooking zones has cooled down.
Follow the cleaning instructions below for a long life and optimum functioning of the device.

Maintenance of the hob

First let the device cool down, otherwise there is a risk of burns.
Never use “steam” or “pressure” equipment.
Never use objects that could damage the vitro-ceramic glass such as an abrasive sponge, abrasive cleaning liquid or aggressive cleaning agents.

Clean the glass of the cooking hob
Wipe the surface clean with some liquid detergent on a damp cloth or sponge (it is best to do this after every use), then dry the hob by rubbing with a dry cloth or with kitchen paper. Always make sure that all cloths used are clean in order to avoid scratching the surface.

In case of stubborn stains
Heavy contamination and stains (limescale stains, pearl-like shiny spots) are best removed while the hob is still warm. For this apply common cleaning agents and cleaning methods. If this does not work well enough, you can use a specific cleaning product for cleaning vitro-ceramic glass (for example, Vitroclen)
Boiled-over food should first be soaked with a wet cloth; the contamination residues should then be removed with a glass scraper that is specially designed for ceramic hobs. After this, clean the hob as described under “Cleaning glass hob”.
Burnt-on sugar and melted plastics are best removed immediately – while still hot – with a glass scraper. After this, clean the hob as described under “Cleaning glass hob”. Grains of dirt/sand may fall on the cooking plate while peeling potatoes or washing vegetables and may cause scratches when moving the pans. Therefore, ensure there are no grains left on the surface.
Discoloration of the hob does not have any influence on the operation or strength of the vitro-ceramic. It is not a form of damage to the hob, but it is a result of residues that have not been removed and have therefore burnt- in.
Shiny spots occur as a result of wear caused by the base of the pans, in particular when using cooking pans with an aluminum bottom or when using the wrong cleaning agents. These can only be removed with great difficulty using common cleaning agents.
If necessary, repeat the cleaning several times.
Due to the use of aggressive cleaning agents and scratching caused by the pan bases, the glass surface is rubbed off with time, leaving dark stains.
Do not use the cooking plate as a tabletop or for putting utensils on.
Always lift up the pans/pots and do not slide them along the glass plate.

Maintenance of the extractor

Remove the inlet grille

Do not use any objects that could damage the inlet grille, such as potscourers, scouring agents or aggressive cleaning agents.
First switch off the hob and the delay before removing components from the extractor.
Press on the right of the inlet grille until it tilts.
Grasp the inlet grille and put it aside safely on the kitchen worktop.

Do not place the inlet grille on the hob glass to avoid scratches. Do not place the inlet grille on a hob that has been switched on to prevent it heating up.

Replace inlet grille

Take care that the Monoblock filter and grease filter have first been placed in the appliance before replacing the inlet grille.
Grasp the inlet grille and insert it in the centre of the extraction opening in line with the position marks.
