Specific safety notes for induction hot plates

On the products you will find symbols that indicate warnings or provide information:

WARNING: Hot surface!

Danger of burns!

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

WARNING:

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

WARNING:

- Induction heat! Metal objects as, e.g., knives, 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 cooking, 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. You should keep a minimum distance of 60 cm to the appliance when it is in use.

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 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?

For induction cooking plates cookware made from magnetisable material is needed. 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:

Position the cookware. If several warning signals sound and if the message “—” appears, the cookware is unsuitable.

i NOTE:

For safety reasons, the appliance will switch to standby mode after about 15 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.

Electrical Connection

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 16 A 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.

Operation

• The appliance has a fine sensor. A light touch of the control panel with the finger is sufficient. Use the finger, not the tip of the finger.
  • Each registered touch is confirmed by a beep.
• In the event that the appliance does not react when you press the buttons, clean the control panel with a soft, dry cloth. Even a thin film of water can make the operation difficult.
• Ensure that the control panel is always clean and dry and that it is not covered by objects of any kind.

Standby mode

After you have connected the device's plug to the mains supply, the hub is in standby mode. A signal will sound. The indicator light above the ⏻ ON/STANDBY button will light up. The display will show “-L-” for “LOW” (low temperature).

In this context, please pay attention to the following:

WARNING:

After use, the hot plate is to be switched off by means of its regulation and control devices [ON/STANDBY button (5)] and not just by pan recognition.
