Foreword

Dear Customer,

please read these operating instructions carefully before commissioning the induction hotplate.

Please especially observe the safety notices on the following pages.

Keep these instructions for future reference and pass them on if you give the hotplate away to someone else.

The Function Mode and Product Advantages of Induction Hotplates

With induction hotplates, an electric voltage is applied on a conductor spool beneath the glass ceramics. This creates magnetic fields, which directly heat up the bottom of the cookware through a physical effect.

This means saving time and energy, because contrary to common hotplates, the cookware is heated up, not the heating element and the glass ceramics. Due to the technical characteristics described above, another advantage is the very short start-up cooking time.

In addition, the heat supply promptly adapts to changed settings and can be controlled in small steps. The induction hotplate reacts to changed settings just as fast as a gas stove, as the energy reaches the pot immediately without having to heat up other materials first. The induction technology combines this fast reaction with the basic advantage of electricity, meaning being able to exactly adjust the heat supply.

Additional advantages of an induction hotplate:

• As the hotplate is only heated up indirectly via the bottom of the cookware, over spilling food cannot stick and burn and there is hardly any danger of burns for the user. The glass ceramics is only heated up by the hot cookware.
• Once you take the cookware off the hotplate, the device automatically switches to standby mode.
• The device detects whether suitable cookware is placed on the hotplate. If this is not the case, no energy is transmitted.

Prior to commissioning

Check the device for visible damage.

The power connections and the plug may not show any damages. If you detect damage, have the device checked by a qualified technician prior to putting it into operation in order to avoid any danger.
