EN OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING!

1. Check that the voltage in your home corresponds to that stated on the appliance.
2. Do no touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shocks do not immerse cord, plugs, or the appliance in water or any liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
11. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
12. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot liquids.
13. A fire may occur if the cooking plate is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation.
14. To disconnect, turn any control to "MIN" or "OFF", then remove plug from wall outlet. Never put metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons or lids on the plate as these might get very hot.
15. Never move the appliance by pulling the cord. Make sure the cord cannot get caught in any way. Do not wind the cord around the appliance and do not bend it.

1. Stand the appliance on a table or flat surface. Do not let the cord hang.
2. Make sure the appliance has cooled down before cleaning and storing it.
3. Make sure the cord never comes into contact with the hot parts of the appliance.
4. The temperature of the surfaces may be very high when the appliance is in use. Never touch those surfaces during use, and only handle the buttons. After use, the ceramic plate may still be hot for a while, depending on how long it has been heating. Avoid contact with this surface.
5. Make sure the appliance never comes into contact with inflammable materials, such as curtains, cloth, etc. when it is in use, as a fire might occur.
6. Your appliance is equipped with an internal cooling system for which the ventilation openings need to be clean and they should never be obstructed. Check their state regularly and clean them if necessary.
7. Always unplug the appliance when it is not in use.
8. Be extremely careful, as oil or fat preparations might catch fire when overheated.
9. When using the appliance under an extractor hood, make sure to observe the minimal distance advised by the producer. It is even wiser to double this distance.
10. Let about 10cm / 4 inches of free space around the appliance in order to allow proper air circulation.
11. Only use the appliance for food that is supposed to be cooked.
12. Never use receptacles in terracotta, glass, aluminium or copper, but only use receptacles especially made or compatible with induction cooking plates. Moreover, these receptacles must have a flat bottom with a diameter between 12cm and 26cm (4.5 to 10.3 inches).
13. Do not place the induction cooking plate next to devices or objects which react sensitively to magnetic fields (e.g. radios, TVs, cassette recorders, etc.).
14. Do not place any magnetic objects like credit cards, cassettes etc. on the glass surface while the device is in operation.
15. Immediately unplug the appliance if a crack appears and make sure it is controlled by a qualified electrician or the aftersales service of the manufacturer.

1. Your appliance must never be switched on through an external timer or any kind of separate remote control system.
2. Please note: Should the symbol be indicated on a certain surface, you need to be careful when handling the product. This symbol means: CAUTION, this surface may get very hot during use.
3. The symbol is always put on the surface with the highest temperature, however the other metallic or non-metallic surfaces can also become very hot during use and it is therefore advisable to always handle them with care and if possible with the help of isothermal gloves or other thermal protection. In case of doubt concerning the temperature of a certain surface it is always preferable to protect oneself.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

The induction cooking plate will function only when a cooking utensil that is suitable for induction is standing on the plate! When no pot or pan has been put on the plate, the appliance will switch off immediately for safety reasons. Always test your pots and pans with a magnet beforehand – if the magnet sticks to the pot or pan, it is suitable.

POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not properly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. The use of an extension cord is not recommended.

However, if you make use of an extension cord, care is to be exercised in its use:

• The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least that of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.
• The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

WHAT IS INDUCTION COOKING?

Induction cooking uses electromagnetic energy to heat cookware. When cookware with a magnetic bottom is placed on an induction cooktop, a coil inside the induction cooking plate produces a strong, alternating magnetic field. This field flows through the cookware, causing molecules inside to vibrate very rapidly. These vibrations in turn make the cookware (but not the cooking plate) hot almost immediately.

Induction cooking plates allow you to adjust the cooking heat instantly and with much greater precision than traditional cooking plates. They are also faster to heat, safer (as they are not hot to the touch), and more energy-efficient than any other cooking technology. The glass top is also a breeze to clean, with little to no burnt residue.

PARTS DESCRIPTION

IKP 40625-141007

WARNING!

• Place the induction cooking plate on a flat, dry and heat-resistant surface, near a wall outlet.
• Put induction-compatible cooking utensils in the middle of the plate and plug in the appliance.
• As soon as the appliance is plugged in, a beep will sound, and the "On/Off" indicator will start blinking briefly.
• Switch the appliance on: with a light fingertip press the on-off switch; “_” appears on the display. The internal fan is set in motion.
• Start the induction with a press on the „Function“ key, 900 appears on the display as standard default for the power. Press the "+" or "-" buttons to choose between the power settings. This "Power" mode is recommended for the heating of liquids (see below).
• Alternatively, press the "Function" key again to switch to the temperature indication mode; Press the "+" or "-" buttons to choose between the temperature settings. This „Temperature“ mode is recommended for the heating of solid food requiring a temperature regulation (see below).
• If you want to use the "Timer" function: Press the Timer key - 00:00 appears on the display. Press the "+" to adjust the minutes, and the "-" button to adjust the hours. The timer can be set between 1 minute and 2 hours 59 minutes. The timer will start a few seconds after the time is set, or after you confirm the time by pressing the "Timer" key again. If you do not press any buttons, no time limit

will be set. If you want to stop cooking before the time is elapsed, simply press the "On/Off" key again.

The cooking plate will then shut off automatically once the time is elapsed.

Note: NEVER heat an empty cookware! This will cause the unit to overheat, damage the cookware and/or cause the unit to shut off.

Note: If you take the pot or pan from the plate during use, a "beep" will sound as well and "E1" will be displayed. Eventually the unit will switch off. It is preferable to switch the appliance off before removing the pot or pan.

Important! The temperature function should be used when a specific cooking temperature is requested. When selected, the temperature of the food is monitored and regulated – the unit will cycle on and off to maintain the chosen temperature! On the other hand, when using the "Power" function, the temperature is not regulated and heating will be continuous – so preferably use this function when a specific temperature is not required, for example to bring water to a quick boil. As a rule, the power function is more aimed to heating liquids, while the temperature function is more aimed to cooking solid food.

SUITABLE UTENSILS

It is easy to check if your cookware is compatible – simply use the tester provided or a magnet to check if the bottom of the cookware is magnetic. If it is, and the magnet sticks, then it will work perfectly with your induction cooking plate.

Suitable cooking utensils (magnetic):

Steel or cast iron, enamelled iron, some stainless steel, flat pans/pots with a diameter of 4 34 to 10'' (12 to 25.4cm). The bottom needs to be magnetic to be induction compatible. Please make sure that the hot bottom of the pan is always well centered on the glass panel, and never comes in contact with or overlaps on the control panel, to avoid the unit to be damaged by the heat!

Unsuitable cooking utensils:

8IKP40625-141007

Heat-resistant glass, ceramic moulds (casserole dish), copper, aluminium, pans/pots with a rounded bottom (not flat - e.g. a wok) or pans/pots with a diameter of less than 12cm ( 4 34 ).

A magnetic tester is supplied. Please place the tester beforehand on the external bottom of the utensil (pan or pot) you want to use, to make sure it is compatible with an induction cooking plate.

CLEANING

• Before cleaning, unplug and wait for the appliance to cool down.
• Wipe the housing only with a moistened cloth or sponge. Do not clean with any abrasive scouring pad or steel wool, as this will damage the finish.
• The ceramic plate can also be cleaned with a damp cloth or sponge. Use a commercially available special cleansing agent for ceramic glass hobs and induction cooking plates to remove stubborn stains or discolorations on the plate, and if necessary also a stainless steel wool sponge.
• Do not immerse in water or any other liquid.

OVERHEAT PROTECTION

The induction cooking plate is equipped with an automatic overheating protection feature.

If your cooking plate overheats and reaches a temperature of over 320F while in "Power" mode (liquids usually stay at a maximum temperature of 212F), a prolonged beep will sound and error code E7 will be displayed. If this happens, the plate will not shut off automatically. After reviewing, if you consider the situation to be normal, we suggest to first switch the unit off and back on, than select the "temperature" mode instead of "power" mode, as "temperature" mode is more adapted to the cooking of solid food, while the "power" more is more adapted to the heating of liquids (it works continuously at the set power and does not regulate a temperature).

In "Temperature" mode, since oil temperature can be much higher than water temperature, the overheat protection will be triggered at

445F. When the unit detects a temperature above this limit, intermittent heating mode will be automatically engaged to avoid a too high temperature increase and allow for a safe cooking.
