General information

Cooking with induction technology

When cooking with induction technology, heat is only generated by means of magnetic power, if a pot or pan with a magnetisable base is placed on a switched-on cooking zone. The induction cooker heats only the base of the cooking utensils used, not the cooking zone itself. The induction coil is located below the ceramic. If the coil is supplied with electrical power a magnetic field develops generating whirls in the pot's base. This results in the heating of the base material. The induction process saves energy as heat is solely produced where it is needed.

GB

What cooking utensils may I use?

Induction cookers require pots, i.e., pot bases made of magnetisable material. Today, cooking utensils appropriate for induction cooking usually bear a note saying 'Suitable for induction hob' or similar.

But principally you may use any iron-based cooking utensils; to find out whether a pot or pan is suitable, i.e., magnetisable just try the following:

Put the respective pot on the hob. Should appear “---” in the display after having switched on the device and repeatedly ring out an acoustic signal the pot is not suitable for this use.

i

NOTE: For reasons of safety, the device automatically switches to the standby mode after a few seconds.

Cooking utensils made of the following materials are not suitable for induction hobs: Clay, glass or aluminium.

Do not use the following types of pots:

Pots with bended Pots with a base diameter Pots standing (convex/parabolic) bases. of less than 12 cm. on feet.

Operating time

Do operate the device only for a maximum of 4 hours continuously. Then interrupt the operation for at least 30 minutes, otherwise you risk some damages by overload.

Weight

Charge the cooker ring only with a maximum weight of 4 kg, otherwise you risk damages to the cooking surface.

Mains supply

Connected load/wattage

The hob can take up an overall load of 3300 W. Because of this high connected load it is recommended to use a separate connection protected over a 16 A safety switch.

Warning: Avoid overloading!

• If you use extension lines, these should dispose of a cable cross-section of at least 1.5 mm ^2 .
• Do not use multiple socket-outlets, as this device is too powerful.

Connection

GB

• Before inserting the mains plug into the socket check whether the voltage which you intend to use corresponds to that of the machine. Please see the label on the machine for details.
• Only connect the machine to a correctly installed safety socket, 230 V/50 Hz.
