Pan Frying Mode Deep/Shallow Frying Mode CAUTION Do not use oil preheated by other appliances. Genius Sensor will not work efficiently and the oil could ignite. Penalties may be applicable for incorrect disposal of this waste, in accordance with national legislation. Information on Disposal in other Countries outside the European Union EN- 8 Energy Saving Tips

Always place the correct lids on pans to keep the heat in.

Use the correct size of pan for the amount of food you are cooking.

Use the right size of pan for the diameter of the cooking zone. If the diameter of the pan is not the same as the cooking zone it is preferable to use a pan with a base that is larger in diameter than the cooking zone.

Put just enough water in the pan to cover vegetables. This will save energy.

Turn down the power level of the cooking zone once the cooking temperature is reached; simmer food rather than boiling it.

Use a steamer to cook vegetables, that way you can layer a number of vegetables on top of each other and still use one cooking zone. Alternatively, a pan with a divider can be used. English This symbol is only valid in the European Union. If you wish to discard this product, please contact your local authorities or dealer and ask for the correct method of disposal.

Moving the cookware slightly or replacing it may eliminate the sound. The heating power is weaker. Overheating Prevention Function If the base of the cookware overheats, the heating power will automatically reduce. The power indication will remain the same. The power returns to normal after the cookware cools down. Unsuitable cookware, e.g. ceramic and earthenware pans, are used. Do not use ceramic and earthenware pans even if they are for induction heating as they are not efficient. (See pages 18-19) If the cookware is removed during heating, a short metallic sound may be heard. The level of the noise from the appliance increases and decreases. It is the sound of the cooling fan inside the appliance. The level of noise changes according to the power level and the material of the cookware. When the power level is increased, the fan will operate at high speed and generate more noise. After the main power switch is turned off, sound from the fan can still be heard. While the inside of the appliance is still hot, the cooling fan operates. When the appliance cools down, it will automatically stop. Clicking noise is heard at the start of flex cooking operation. This is not a malfunction. This is a part of induction heating technology. The noise is eliminated during operation. When multiple cooking zones are used together, ■■ The heating power decreases. ■■ The power indicator automatically decreases. ■■ The power level can not be increased. The power level is automatically regulated so that overall power consumption does not exceed the limit. (See page 15) The power indicator for a cooking zone may decrease on its own. Even after touching the slider to adjust power level, it may not increase the power level and the appliance will beep.
