5. Installation and operation

5.1 Functionality of induction cookers

With induction cooker, an electric voltage is applied on a conductor spool beneath the glass. 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. 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 cooker 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 cooker:

As the cooking zone 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 cooking zone is only heated up by the hot cookware.

If the unit is turned on and no dish for cooking is present or is removed, a repeating audio signal will sound and the unit will turn itself off after approx. 30 seconds. The unit will detect if the appropriate cookware is placed on the heating plate. If the cookware is not appropriate for induction hotplates, energy will not flow. The unit will turn off after approx. 30 seconds. When operating the cooking zone with empty cookware, a temperature sensor turns it off automatically.

WARNING! Electrical hazard! The device must only be connected to a properly installed single socket with protective contact. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet. Cable must not touch any hot parts.

See that the cable does not touch any heat sources or sharp edges. Do not let the cable dangle over the counter edge. WARNING! Hot external surface! During operation some parts of the device become very hot. Do not touch the hot surface of the glass field. Please note: the induction cooker does not heat up itself during cooking, but the temperature of the cookware heats up the cooking zone.

Do not use the device in case it does not function properly, has been damaged or dropped.

Do not use any accessory or spare parts that have not been recommended by the manufacturer. These can be dangerous for the user or lead to damages of the device or personal injury, and further, the warranty expires.

Do not lay the cable over carpets or heat insulations. Do not cover the cable. Keep away the cable from operating range and do not dunk it into water. WARNING! Hazard via electrical current! Do not insert any objects like wires or tools into the ventilation slots. This may cause electric shocks.

Do not move the induction cooker during cooking or with hot cookware on top of it.

Do not use the unit as a surface for storing various items. Do not leave such objects as empty containers, etc. on it.

We recommend not placing any metal kitchen utensils, cookware or pan lids, knives or other metal objects on the cooking zone. These may heat up when the device is turned on.

Remember that items of jewelry such as rings, watches etc. can get hot if they are close to the heating surface.

The cooking zone's surface consists of temperature-resistant glass. In case of damage, even if this concern only a small tear, disconnect the device from the power supply immediately and contact the customer service.

Do not place any magnetically objects like credit cards, cassettes etc. on the glass surface while the device is in operation.

On order to avoid overheating, do not place any aluminum foil or metal plates on the device.

Do not use any flammable, acidy or alkaline materials or substances near the device, as this may reduce the service life of the device and lead to deflagration when the device is turned on.

Scientific tests have proven that induction cookers do not pose a risk. However, persons with a pacemaker should keep a minimum distance of 60 cm to the device while it is in operation. WARNING! Hazard via electrical current! The device can cause injuries due to improper installation! Before installation the local power grid specification should be compared with that of the device (see type label).Connect the device only in case of compliance! Take note of the safety advice!

5.3 Suitable and unsuitable cookware

steel or enamelled cast iron; iron, steel or non-enamelled cast iron; 18/0 stainless steel and aluminium, if it is marked as suitable for induction (follow the description of the cookware). For proper functioning, all pots and pans must have a plane magnetic bottom (a magnet must stick to it). We recommend pans/pots with a diameter between 12 and 24 cm for better results. e.g. Induction cookware, 9-piece cooking pot set chromium-nickel steel ● edge suitable for pouring ● cold handles 4 pots with lid

pots/pans with a diameterof less than 12 cm; ceramic, glass; stainless steel, aluminium, bronze or copper unless, it is expressly marked as suitable for induction; cookware with feet; vessels with round bottom. CAUTION! Please use only the cookware marked suitable for induction cooker. If the induction hotplate detects too great a separation from the magnetizing container, it will cause a reduction in power. This may cause the overheating prevention device to malfunction. For this reason, do not use aluminum, bronze or non-metallic containers.

5.4 Installation and connection

o Discard the complete packing material after unpacking the device. o Place the device on top of an even and safe surface which supports the weight of the device and is not heat sensitive. o NEVER place the device on a flammable surface (e.g. table cloth, carpet, etc.). o Do not place the device near open fireplaces, electric ovens/arc furnaces, furnaces/electric heaters or other heat sources. o Do not block or partially cover the ventilation opening allowing the inflow and outflow of air to the unit. This may cause the unit to overheat. Keep the unit a minimum of 5 – 10 cm from walls and other objects. o Do not place the induction cooker next to devices or objects, which react sensitively to magnetic fields (e.g. radios, TVs, cassette recorders, etc.). o The electrical circuit in the socket must be secured to at least 16A. Only connect the unit directly to the wall socket; do not use any extension cords or power strips. o The unit should be placed in an area with easy access to the plug, in order to quickly remove it from the socket if necessary.
