environments,

• by customers in hotels, motels etc. and similar accommodation,
• in bed-and breakfast type environments.

This appliance may be used by children (at least 8 years of age) and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, provided they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance and fully understand all dangers and safety precautions involved.

Children must not be permitted to play with the appliance. Children must not be permitted to carry out any cleaning or maintenance

work on the appliance unless they are supervised and at least 8 years of age.

The appliance and its power cord must be kept well away from children under 8 at all times.

• Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from children - such materials are a potential source of danger, e.g. of suffocation.
• Every time the appliance is used, the main body including the power cord as well as any attachment fitted should be checked thoroughly for any defects. Should the appliance, for instance, have been dropped onto a hard surface, or if excessive force has been used to pull the power cord, it must no longer be used: even invisible damage may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance. This unit must not be fitted into a countertop. People fitted with pacemakers should consult their doctors before using the appliance, as the pacemaker's function may be affected.

Suitable cookware

This appliance must only be used with cookware suitable for use with induction-type hot-plates, eg stainless-steel with a ferro-magnetic base, or cast-iron or enamelled steel cookware. Cookware can be tested for its suitability by simply holding a magnet to the base; if the magnet is attracted, the cookware is suitable for use with this appliance. - Only flat-bottom pots and pans may be used. - Do not use any cookware with a base less than 2 mm thick. - Never use pots with a diameter greater than 22 cm and less than 18 cm . If unsuitable cookware is used, the appliance will respond with an error

message (see 'Troubleshooting' table).

• Coated pots and pans may be damaged by excessive heat. It is therefore important to select the appropriate temperature level for the cookware in use, and to follow the information provided by the cookware's manufacturer. A maximum load of 6 kg for either cooking plate must not be exceeded.

Setting the power output / temperature

This appliance may be operated by either of its control features, 'Power' or 'Temperature'. For heating water, steaming and similar cooking applications, we recommend using the 'Power' control. For frying, deep-frying and the like, the 'Temperature' control should be used.

Commissioning

Before using the appliance for the first time, remove any remaining packaging materials and wipe the surface of the appliance with a damp cloth.

Suitable cookware

The appliance is intended for use only with cookware suitable for induction hobs, for example, stainless steel with a ferromagnetic base, cast iron, or enameled steel. To check whether a pot is suitable for use on an induction hob, simply hold a magnet to its bottom: if the magnet sticks, it means that the cookware is suitable for use with this appliance. Only pots and pans with a flat bottom can be used. Do not use cookware with a bottom thickness of less than 2 mm. Use only pots with a diameter between 18 and 22 cm. If unsuitable cookware is used, the appliance will emit a signal (see the table "Troubleshooting"). Pots and pans with a coating may be damaged by excessive heat. For this reason, it is very important to select the heating level appropriate for the cookware used and to follow the manufacturer's instructions. The maximum load on each cooking zone must not exceed 6 kg.

Setting the temperature and output power

The appliance is switched on using the control knob. The "Power" function is recommended for boiling water, cooking in a pressure cooker, or for other similar applications. The "Temperature" function should be used for frying, cooking in a deep fryer, or for other similar applications.

Power

Press the control knob; the default power setting will appear on the display (for any cooking zone: 4). By pressing the "+" and "-" selection buttons, you can set the power level from 1 to 10, as needed (for any cooking zone from 1 to 7, for the steam zone from 1 to 10).
