Frequently Asked Questions - 58205 UNOLD

What types of pans can I use on the Unold 58205 cooktop?

Use pans suitable for induction: stainless steel with a ferromagnetic bottom, cast iron or enameled iron. Check with a magnet: if it sticks to the bottom, the pan is compatible. Avoid aluminum, copper, glass, ceramic, and some chrome-nickel steels.

How to clean the cooktop?

Unplug and let it cool. Wipe the surface and exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive or corrosive products. For stubborn stains, a special ceramic glass cleaner is recommended. Never immerse the appliance in water.

What are the different power and temperature settings?

Five power levels: 300, 600, 800, 1000 and 1200 W. Five temperature levels: 60, 80, 160, 180 and 200 °C. You can switch between Watt and °C modes using the corresponding button.

How to set the power or temperature?

Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the appliance. Use the Watt/°C button to select the mode. Adjust with the ▲ or ▼ buttons. The default setting is 800 W or 160 °C.

What are the safety functions of the appliance?

The appliance has overvoltage and overheating protection, automatic shut-off after 2 hours of inactivity, and automatic detection of suitable pans. If a metal object smaller than 8 cm is placed, the appliance does not turn on.

Since it shuts off automatically, how long can I cook continuously?

The appliance turns off after 2 hours of continuous operation. It is recommended not to exceed 4 consecutive hours; after this time, let it cool for 30 minutes before using again.

Why is my indicator flashing and a beeping sound heard?

This may indicate that the pan is not suitable, too small (<12 cm), or no pan is detected. Place a compatible pan in the center of the cooktop. If the problem persists, check that the bottom is not damaged.

Can I use stainless steel pans with a diameter smaller than 12 cm?

No, the minimum recommended diameter is 12 cm. Pans smaller than 12 cm may not be detected and the appliance will not heat.

How to maintain the ventilation slots?

Unplug the appliance. Clean the ventilation slots from time to time with a soft brush to remove dust. Ensure the slots remain clear during use.

Where can I find spare parts or get the appliance repaired?

For any repairs, contact Unold customer service. Do not open the appliance yourself. If the cable or glass plate is damaged, send the appliance to an authorized after-sales service.

COOKING UTENSIL SELECTION

1. Only use cooking utensils that are approved for induction cooking.
2. Useable pans are: stainless steel saucepans with ferromagnetic bottom, cast iron pans and saucepans, enamelled iron saucepans and pans.
3. You can check with a magnet if your saucepans are useable for induction cooking. Whenever the magnet adheres to the bottom outside, the saucepan can be used on the induction cooker.
4. Not useable are saucepans and pans made of aluminium, copper, glass, ceramic and some chrome nickel alloys.
5. The diameter of the saucepans should be min. 12 cm and max. 16 cm.
6. Attention: Adapt the power or temperature setting to the used saucepans.

When using small saucepans you can already cook with 180 °C or 1,200 watts. A too high setting in combination with small saucepans can cause damages to the appliance.

1. The non-stick coating of coated saucepans and frying pans can be damaged if used with too strong heating. Please follow the information of the saucepan manufacturer with regard to the application of the pots. Choose in case of doubt a lower power setting or temperature to avoid damages.
2. Put the saucepan always precisely in the middle of the cooking field to avoid error messages and automatic switching off.

FUNCTIONING

Cooking on an induction cooker saves up to 50% of electric power. The cooking time is reduced by up to 30%.

When cooking on an induction cooker, not the hotplate is heated, but the saucepan on it, provided that the bottom is ferromagnetic. The heating is effected by a magnetic alternating field below the hotplate.

The advantages of induction cooking are:

■ Short reaction time, short preheating time, quick and exact heating.

■ Rapid heating, since the full amount of energy is immediately available. ■ Cool hotplate, which is only heated by the heat reflected from the saucepan. ■ Great energy saving of up to 50%. ■ Easy cleaning, as food cannot burn in case of boiling over. ■ High safety: as soon as the saucepan is taken away from the plate, the heat supply is stopped automatically.

SAFETY FUNCTIONS

1. Overvoltage / low voltage protection

When power voltage is too high or too low, the induction cooker will compensate the voltage automatically and will adjust the output power.

2. Overheating protection

When the temperature of the hotplate is too high, the induction cooker will stop automatically and a long buzzer sound will be heard

to alert you until the temperature returns to normal.

3. Small metal part protection

If small iron metal parts with a diameter of less than 80 mm are detected on the hotplate, the appliance cannot be switched on.

4. Suitable pans

The appliance detects automatically if the used saucepan is suitable for induction cooking or not.

If the saucepan is not suitable, a buzzer sound will be heard to alert you until an appropriate saucepan is put on the hotplate.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down before cleaning it.

1. Do not immerse the appliance into water or any other liquid for cleaning.
2. Wipe the surface and the housing with a damp cloth.
3. Do not use any strong or abrasive cleansers or sponges.
4. Do not pour water or any other liquid on the hotplate.
5. If necessary you can use a cleanser or scraper for ceran glass cookers.
6. Please clean the ventilation slots regularly with a soft brush to prevent dust deposits.
7. The cooking plate must be completely dry before using it again.
