Specific safety notes for induction hot plates Symbols on the Product On the products you will find symbols that indicate warnings or provide information:

WARNING: Danger of burns!

During operation the temperature of the exposed surface may be very hot.

• Glass-ceramic surface! If the surface is damaged or has cracks the device must be switched off to avoid the hazard of electrical shocks.

• Induction heat! Metal objects as, e.g., knifes, forks, spoons and pot lids should not be placed on the cooking zone as they may get hot.

• Hot surface! The induction cooker initially heats only the base of the cooking utensils used, not the cooking zone itself. However, because of the heat radiated during coo- king, dangerously high temperatures may also occur at the cooking zone after the cooking cycle. Hazard of burns!

• Potential damage to your health! People wearing pacemakers must not use this cooker.

• Please do not operate the device with an external timer or a separate remote control system.

• Place the appliance on an even, moisture and heat-resistant surface.

• Use a heatresistant plate when placing on sensitive sur- faces.

• Do not move the device when it is in operation.

• Only grip the handles which are intended for this.

• Due to the rising heat and vapours the device should not be operated under wall cupboards.

• Keep the unit at a safe distance from easily infl ammable objects such as furniture, curtains, etc. (30cm). Under no circumstances should the device be installed in cupboards.

• Do not heat empty pots on the cooking zone as this may lead to dangerous overheating.

• Ventilation: Always keep the ventilation slots free from any obstructions and dirt. Overview of the Components 1 TIMER button (setting times) with an indicator lamp 2 „–“ button (for reducing power) 3 Display 4 „+“ button (for increasing power) 5 ON/STANDBY (on/standby button) 6 Mains cable 05-EKI 5000 CB.indd 29 19.04.11 11:0630 ENGLISH 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. Under the glass-ceramics surface, the in- duction 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 magneti- sable 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. 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 (convex/parabolic) bases. Pots with a base diameter of less than 12 cm. Pots standing on feet. Mains supply Connected load/wattage The hob can take up an overall load of 2000 W. Because of this high connected load it is recommended to use a separate connection protected over a 16A safety switch. CAUTION: OVERLOAD! 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, 230 V/50 Hz. Designated use

• This device is intended to be used to prepare food in induc- tion crockery.

• If the appliance is not used according to the instructions or incorrectly, the manufacturer is not liable for the resulting damage! Initial operation

• Standby mode: After you have connected the device’s plug to the mains supply, the hub is in standby mode. A signal sounds and the indicator lamp on the ON/STANDBY button (5) flashes. The display shows “L” for “LOW” (low tempera- ture).

• Put a suitable pot on the cooking zone.

• Press the ON/STANDBY button (5) to start cooking. The indicator lamp on the ON/STANDBY button (5) will be on continuously. Choose power output of the hot plate

• Press the -/+ buttons (2/4) repeatedly to select a power level of between 1 and 9. NOTE:

• The hot plate always starts off on level P(OWER) 7.

• The level which is selected is shown on the display.

• If no further entry is made, the hot plate is automatically switched off after 120 minutes. Enter stop time You can use the TIMER button to limit the cooking time.

• Switch on the unit and select a power level of your choice.

• Then press the TIMER (1) button. The indicator lamp on the TIMER button (1) will be on continuously.

• Set a switch-off time between 1 and 199 minutes with the -/+ buttons. NOTE:

• Press the - or + buttons briefly to adjust the time by one minute.

• If you hold down the - or + buttons, the time will jump by 10 minutes.

• Once you have set the time, the figure shown flashes for a few seconds and is then on continuously.

• During timed operation, the display switches between showing the power level and the remaining time.

• Once the preset time period elapses, the hot plate is automatically switched off and a signal sounds. 05-EKI 5000 CB.indd 30 19.04.11 11:0631 ENGLISH Delete the time

• If you would like to delete the preset times, press the TIMER (1) button, so that the control lamp goes off. Automatic shut-off

• The hot plate turns off automatically after 120 minutes, if no input was given over the operator control panel during this time. This switching serves as security for you. Switching off

• Press the ON/STANDBY button (5). NOTE:

• The hot plate is reset from its operational state to standby mode. The fan may continue to run for a period of time.

• A signal sounds and the indicator lamp on the ON/ STANDBY button (5) flashes.

• As long as the hot plate is still hot, a „H“ flashes on the display.

• Let the device cool down, before you put it away. Pan recognition The device has a pot recognition function. After the pot has been taken from the hob, it switches back to the standby mode. In this context, please pay attention to the following:

• After use, the hot plate is to be switched off by means of its regulation and control devices (ON/STANDBY button) and not just by pan recognition.

• Hazard of burns! Because of the heat radiated during cooking, dangerously high temperatures may occur at the cooking zone after the cooking cycle. Cleaning AVVISO:

• Always remove the mains lead before cleaning!

• Wait until the machine has cooled down completely.

• Under no circumstances should you immerse the device in water for cleaning purposes. Otherwise this might result in an electric shock or fire. CAUTION:

• Do not use a wire brush or any abrasive items.

• Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents. Ceramic Hob

• Clean the surface from food remains when it‘s still warm using a moist cloth or tissue.

• Wash the hob using a soft sponge and some water, then wipe dry with a soft cloth.

• Cleaning agent for glass-ceramics surfaces: In case of stubborn, baked-in remains, use suitable cleaning products available at special departments of department stores. Housing

• Clean the housing after use using a slightly moist cloth.

• Make sure that no fluid matter gets into any of the openings of the housing. This might damage the device or result in an electric shock. Troubleshooting

• Device does not function, no indication on the display. Remedy: Check the mains connection.

• There is a sound after I have selected a cooking function and switched the device on. Possible cause: You put no or an unsuitable pot on the hob. NOTE: For reasons of safety, the device automatically switches to the standby mode after a few seconds. Remedy: Put a pot on the hob that is suitable for induction hobs.

• The hob suddenly switches off during operation. Possible cause: The overheating protection (cutout switch) has been activated. Remedy: Pull the plug and let the device cool down for about 20 min. Then start operating the device again. Further cause: The ventilation slots are obstructed. Remedy: Free the ventilation slots from any obstructions. Further cause: The hot plate was automatically switched off after 120 minutes.
