The induction cooker heats only the base of the cooking utensils used, not the cooking zone itself. Under the glass-ceramics surface, the induction coil is located. 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. 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. If you hear an alarm sound after selecting the cooking function and switching the device on, the pot is not suitable. 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.

CL_BDA_IKP_3092_NEU_ka3.qxd 15.03.2007 10:17 Uhr Seite 47Mains supply Connected load/wattage The hob can take up an overall load of 1,800W. Because of this high connected load it is recommended to use a separate connection protected over a 16A safety switch. Pay attention to overloads! Do not use extension cables or multiple sockets as the power consumption of this device is too high for these. Connection

• 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, 230V/50Hz. Operating instructions Depending on the quantity of the food to be cooked, the kind of the pot, and the coo- king time the temperature can deviate from the indicated values. Initial operation
