Frequently Asked Questions - IDV2260 Concept

What type of cookware is suitable for the Concept IDV2260 induction hob?

Only cookware with a magnetic base (e.g., iron or steel) is suitable. You can test with a magnet. Avoid pure stainless steel, aluminum, copper, glass, or ceramic cookware. The bottom must be flat and the diameter should match the cooking zone.

How do I activate the child lock?

Press and hold the child lock symbol (4) on the control panel until you hear a beep. 'Lo' will appear on the display, locking all controls except the ON/OFF button. To unlock, press and hold the same symbol again.

What does the 'H' symbol mean on the display?

The 'H' indicates residual heat. The cooking zone is still hot and could cause burns. Do not touch it. The symbol disappears once the zone cools to a safe temperature.

Why does the hob turn off automatically during cooking?

The hob has a safety switch-off feature. Cooking times are limited: 8 hours for levels 1-3, 4 hours for levels 4-6, and 2 hours for levels 7-9. Additionally, if no operation is detected for 1 minute after power-on, the hob auto-switches off. Press ON/OFF to restart.

How do I clean the ceramic glass hob?

Use a special ceramic glass cleaner and a soft cloth. For stubborn residues, use a glass scraper at an acute angle. Never use abrasive sponges, aggressive cleaners, or steam cleaners. Wipe dry after cleaning.

What should I do if the 'U' symbol appears on the display?

The 'U' symbol means the cookware is unsuitable (not magnetic or too small) for induction. Check that the cookware bottom is magnetic and its diameter matches the zone. If using correct cookware, allow it to cool and restart the hob.

Can I use all four cooking zones at maximum power simultaneously?

No, in single-phase connection (230 V) the hob automatically reduces power to avoid overloading. The maximum total power is 7000 W, but individual zones may be limited. Refer to the manual for power distribution.

How do I set the timer on the hob?

Press the timer button (3) then select the cooking zone. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to set the desired time. The hob will switch off the zone automatically when the time elapses.

What are the electrical requirements for installation?

The hob requires a 220-240 V ~ 50/60 Hz supply. Use a dedicated circuit with the appropriate breaker. The mains cable must be connected by a qualified electrician. For single-phase, use a 3-core cable (min 4 mm² wires); for three-phase, use a 4-core cable (min 2.5 mm² wires).

What does error code 'E1' or 'E2' mean?

Error E1 or E2 indicates incorrect rated voltage. Check that the mains voltage matches the rating plate (220-240 V). If the voltage is correct but the error persists, contact an authorized service center.

EXAMPLES OF COOKING APPLICATION

What does cooking with an induction hob mean?

Cooking on an induction hob is based on a completely different principle than the usual ways of heating. The heat is created directly in the cookware, whilst the cooking zone remains cold. This method of heating has many advantages in comparison with others:

1. Time saving during cooking and baking

The cookware is heated directly, not the ceramic glass hob. There are no big heat losses so the effectiveness is higher than other heating methods.

2. Energy saving

It is established that cooking on an induction hob consumes less electric power than other cooking methods.

3. Controlled supply of heat and more safety

The cooking zone transfers heat or interrupts its supply immediately after setting the power. As soon as you take the cookware off the cooking zone, heat is interrupted without the need of switching off the cooking zone. After cooking, only residual heat coming from the cookware remains on the cooking zone. Nevertheless, we do not recommend leaving anything on the hob without attendance.

Note:

As to prevent unwanted heating up, e.g. in case of laying metal instruments on the hob, the system activates only if the bottom of the utensil is of a specific dimension or bigger.

COOKING TIPS

The power level settings described below are just examples. The correct setting of power levels depends on several factors, including the cookware used and the amount of food you cook. Experiment with the induction hob, and gradually determine which power level settings are most suitable for you.

Some examples of power level settings:

a) Level 1–2 can be used for:

• Keeping liquids simmering,
• Moderate and slow heating without the risk of burning,
• Melting butter or chocolate, etc.
• Defrosting,
• Boiling a small quantity of liquid.

b) Level 3–4 can be used for:

• Intensive boiling,
• Keeping a larger quantity of liquid boiling,
• Stewing.

c) Level 5–6 can be used for:

- Pancakes.

d) Level 7–8 can be used for:

- Cooking pasta.

e) Level 9 can be used for:

• Cooking food requiring fast heating and high temperature (beef steaks, schnitzels, fried potatoes, etc.),
• Boiling water or soup,
  • Heating food before switching over to a lower level.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Cooking on an induction hob is based on the generation of heat utilising the magnetic properties of the cookware. That is why the cookware material must contain iron. Check this by looking for a symbol for induction cooking on the bottom of the cookware (Fig. 1) or by using a magnet, whether the cookware is magnetic (Fig. 2).

Simple line drawing of a coiled spring inside a rounded square frame (no text or symbols)

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

Simple line drawing of a cooking pot with a U-shaped tube attached to its side (no text or symbols)

If you do not have the possibility to check the bottom of the cookware with a magnet:

1. Put some water into the cookware you want to check.
2. If the "U" symbol is not displayed on the control panel, and the water in the cookware is simmering, the cookware is of suitable material for induction cooking.

The following cookware material is unsuitable for an induction hob:

• pure stainless steel,
• aluminium or copper,
  • without a magnetic substrate,
• glass, wood, stone,
• porcelain, ceramics, etc.

- Do not use cookware with bulging or irregular bottoms (Fig. 3) or otherwise the cooking effectiveness could be reduced and may result in extension of the cooking time.

• Use small cookware for small amount of food. A big and only partially filled up cookware requires a lot of energy.
  • Always cover the cookware with a suitable lid. When cooking without a lid, you consume much more energy.
• Always cook food with a small amount of water or fat. You save energy. This way vitamins and minerals will be preserved when cooking vegetables.
• At the beginning of the cooking, set the cooking zone to the highest power level and reduce the cooking zone power level after it is heated up.

Examples of possible damage

- Coarse bottoms of cookware could scratch the ceramic glass plate. Check the cookware bottom regularly. Cookware with coarse bottom can cause scratches of the hob. Always lift these objects up when you have to move them on the cooking surface (Fig. 5), To protect the hob from being scratched.

• Salt, sugar and sand grains (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can scratch the hob. Do not use the appliance as a work surface or as a storage surface!
• Sugar, as well as food with high sugar content, damages the hob when in contact with it. Immediately remove the overcooked food of this kind using a glass scraper.

CAUTION! The ceramic glass scraper is sharp and can cause injuries!

- The following damages do not negatively affect the function or performance of the hob.

Stains

Burnt remains of sugar or food with high sugar content.

Colouring

Metallic-gloss colouring caused by the use of unsuitable cleaning agents or abrasions from the cookware bottom.

Scratches

Scratches caused by grains of salt, sugar or sand or by the coarse cookware bottom.

Wear of the decoration

Wear caused by the use of unsuitable cleaning agents.

- This damage has been caused by inappropriate maintenance of the hob and hence is not subject to warranty. These are not technical problems with the appliance.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Areas designed only for cooking – electrical hotzones – are indicated on the heating plate. The diameters of the hotzones are derived from the usual dimensions of cooking utensils.
• Only the surface inside the indicated diameter is heated; other surfaces remain relatively cold and can be used as lay-aside areas.
• The temperature limiter prevents hotzones under the glass-ceramic plate from overheating.
• The shining "H" symbols on the indicator position of the input levels signal increased temperature of the hotzone after switching off. The hot area can be energetically utilised. The symbol will go off as soon as the hotzone has cooled down to such a temperature that there is no longer any risk of burning.
• The inputs of hotzones are controlled within the range of 9 levels, which can be selected by pressing the touch symbols with respective indicators on the control panel. At each pressing of a symbol a beep can be heard. The response time for pressing a symbol is 1 second, for which period it is necessary to hold your finger on the symbol.

WARNING!

• The touch control is activated by placing a finger on the required symbol on the glass-ceramic plate. Therefore, keep the control panel clean and dry.
• The sensors do not respond to matte, dark colours (do not use black gloves). Do not place anything on the control panel of the heating plate.
  • Make sure the unit is prevented from being accidentally switched on, e.g. by a pet.
• When the heating plate is disconnected from the mains, the set parameters are reset and the heating plate control is locked.
• In monophase connection (see Connection of the terminal box) all the hotzones cannot be used at maximum power. To prevent power overload of the respective circuit breaker, the unit automatically reduces the input of individual hotzones.

Before first use

Prior to the start of use of a new unit, wipe it with a wet and then a dry cloth.

Switching on the heating plate

To switch on the heating plate, press the ON/OFF symbol (1). If you do not make a further selection within 1 minute, the heating plate automatically switches off.

Switching off a hotzone

1. Press the symbol for hotzone selection (5) to activate the hotzone. "0" symbol is blinking for the selected hotzone on the display (3).
2. Press the "+" or "-" symbol (2) repeatedly to set the required power level to a value of 1 through 9. If you do not set the power level within 5 seconds, the heating plate returns to the hotzone selection mode.

Note: If the "U" symbol is shining on the display (3), the cooking utensil's bottom diameter is too small or it is made of an unsuitable material. Use a smaller hotzone or utensil with a larger bottom diameter or a utensil made of another material.

Switching off a hotzone

1. Press the symbol for hotzone selection (5) to activate the hotzone (number of the selected hotzone is blinking).
2. Set the power level to "0" gradually by repeatedly pressing the "-" symbol, or switch the hotzone off by simultaneously pressing both the symbols "+" and "-"
3. After the hotzone has been switched off, its display may show the "H" symbol indicating that the zone is hot and there is a risk of burning. This residual heat can be utilised.

Child lock function

This function prevents unwanted operation of the heating plate. Procedure:

a) Locking

Press and hold the symbol for activation/deactivation of the child lock (4) until a beep is heard. The "Lo" symbol (locked) will be illuminated on the display (3). Thus the control panel of the heating plate is locked except for the ON/OFF symbol (1).

b) Unlocking

Press and hold the symbol for activation/deactivation of the child lock (4) until a beep is heard. "Lo" symbol will go off.

Switch-off of the heating plate

a) Manual switch-off

Press the ON/OFF symbol (1). The entire heating plate switches off and its setting is reset. After the switch-off of the heating plate, the displays of the hotzones remaining hot display the "H" symbol (hot). Do not touch the hot hotzones; there is a danger of burning!

b) Automatic switch-off

If you switch off all hotzones, the entire heating plate switches off automatically within 1 minute.

c) Safety switch-off

The cooking time on individual hotzones is limited to 8 hours for safety reasons (power level 1-3), 4 hours (power level 4-6) or 2 hours (power level 7-9).

Residual heat indicators

After the switching off of a hotzone the display shows the „H“ symbol (hot), which signals increased temperature of the hotzone's surface.

This signalling reduces the risk of burning on a switched off hotzone. The hot area can be energetically utilised.

COOKING TIPS

Some examples of setting of input levels:

a) Level 1-3 is designed for

• keeping liquids simmering,
  • moderate and slow heating without the risk of burning,
  • melting of butter or chocolate,
• defrosting,
  • boiling a small quantity of liquid.

b) Level 4-6 can be used for

- intensive boiling,

- keeping a larger quantity of liquid boiling,

- stewing.

c) Level 7-9 can be used for

- cooking food requiring fast heating and high temperature (beef steaks, schnitzels, fried potatoes etc.),

• heating food before switching over to a lower level.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

- Flat bottom of utensil

Use pots and pans with thick flat bottoms. Uneven bottoms result in extension of the cooking time.

• Proper size of utensil

Use the proper size of the cooking utensil for each hotzone. The diameter of the bottom of a pot or pan should be smaller than or the same as the hotzone size.

Note: Take into account that manufacturers often state the upper diameter of a cooking utensil, which is usually larger than its bottom diameter.

- Adequate size of utensil

For small quantity of food use a little pot. Large and only partially filled pot needs too much energy.

• Covering by a lid

Always cover pots and pans with suitable lids. Cooking without a lid implies the consumption of much more energy.

• Cooking with a little quantity of water

Cook food with a little quantity of water. Thus you save energy. Vitamins and mineral matters will remain preserved when cooking vegetables.

- Switching over to a lower power level

Switch over to a lower power level on time.

CARE AND CLEANING

The hob itself does not warm up, so no food remains should get burnt on it. Therefore, you do not have to wait until it cools down to clean the hob.

Do not use a steam cleaner or high-pressure cleaner to clean the appliance. Risk of damage to the hob!

• Clean the hob with a protective and preservation agent specially designed for ceramic glass surfaces.
• For removal of food remains and other dirt, apply dirt repellent to the hob, which will facilitate cleaning of the hob surface.
• Use only agents and repellents specially designed for ceramic glass surfaces.
• Never use coarse sponges, abrasive agents or aggressive cleaners (e.g. spray for cleaning ovens) or stain removers.
• Keep the control panel clean! Make sure the panel is always clean and dry.
• Food and water residues negatively affect the operation of the control panel; therefore it may not be fully functional.
• Clean the hob after each cooking session. It will prevent the remains of food from burning during the next cooking session.
• For cleaning the lukewarm hob use a cleaning agent and a paper towel. Then wipe the hob with a damp cloth and wipe it dry using a soft cloth.
• If the hob is cleaned while hot, stains could appear on it.
• Never leave residues of the cleaning agent on the hob; it could stain the glass surface.
  • Metallic-gloss colouring appears after the use of unsuitable cleaners or abrasion of the cookware bottom.
• Its removal is very difficult. Use cleaning agents specially designed for ceramic glass surfaces.
• For the removal of food remains and a layer of grease use a special scraper for the glass.
• Clean the hob by placing the scraper at an acute angle and move the blade on the surface. Never use the handle for cleaning the glass surface. Risk of scratches!
• WARNING! The glass scraper is very sharp! Risk of injury! If the edge is damaged, replace it immediately.
  • After cleaning, secure the scraper again and keep it out of the reach of children.

• Only a qualified person can install this appliance!
• Make sure that the parameters on the rating plate are compatible with the electrical ratings of the main power supply.
• Make sure that the parameters on the rating plate are compatible with the mains voltage and the current protection. Otherwise the installed electric circuit could be overloaded, especially in the case of single-phase connection (230 V).
• If the hob is connected to the mains power in a single phase (see Connection of the terminal box of the appliance), all cooking zones cannot be used for maximum performance. The hob automatically reduces the power consumption of individual cooking zones to avoid overloading of the circuit breaker.
• We recommend using a self-contained electrical circuit to connect to the mains.
• Use solely electric power distribution with PE protective conductor.
• Do not use multi-plug adapters, connectors and extension cables. Risk of fire due to overheating!
  • Make sure that there is access to the mains plug or the circuit breaker after the installation.
• The electrical safety of the appliance can only be guaranteed if the protective terminal of the unit is connected to the protective conductor of the mains.
• The manufacturer is not responsible for any injuries or damages that are the result of incorrect or missing protective installation.
• Make sure the mains cable or plug does not touch the hot appliance or hot cookware, to prevent it from becoming deformed and excessively bent.
• In the event of disconnecting the hob from the mains power, all set parameters will be reset and the hob control panel will be locked.

Connection of the terminal box of the appliance

• The hob is already supplied with a mains cable. In case it is necessary to replace the mains cable due to damage, Fig. 11 or Fig. 12, shows the wiring of the terminal box.
  • The mains cable must be replaced with the same type of cable with the corresponding wire cross section.
• After connecting the new mains cable to the terminal box, secure the cable from being pulled out from the terminal box.
• Follow the same procedure as described above when installing the appliance into the worktop cut-out and connecting it to the mains power.

Connecting the hob by a 3-core mains cable (230 V)

Use a cable with wires of a diameter of at least 4 mm ^2 .

Fig. 11

Connecting the hob by a 4-core mains cable (400 V)

Use a cable with wires of a diameter of at least 2.5 mm ^4 .

Operation sounds of the appliance

The induction heating technology is based on specific parameters of metal materials, when under the influence of high frequency waves. Under special circumstances these vibrations can manifest themselves by weak acoustic sounds, which do not signal any fault. These include:

Deep hum such as at a transformer	This sound accompanies cooking at high power level. It is caused by the big amount of energy which is transferred from the cooking zone to the cookware. This sound will disappear or weaken as soon as the cooking zone is switched to lower level.
Beeping	This sound usually appears in case of an empty cookware. It will disappear when you pour water or put food in the cookware.
High beeping sounds	These sounds appear mainly with cookware consisting of several layers of various materials, when they are in operation at the maximum heating power. This effect does not influence the result of cooking. The beeping disappears or weakens as soon as the power is reduced.
Cracking	This sound appears with cookware consisting of several layers of various materials. It is caused by vibrations on the connecting areas of respective layers. The sound depends on the cookware. It may change depending on the quantity and type of food being cooked in the cookware.
Sound of the fan	For good operation of the electronics it is necessary that it works at a permanently controlled temperature. That is why the hob is equipped with a fan which can be set to various power levels according to the measured temperature. The fan may work even after the hob has been switched off, if the measured temperature is still too high.
