3 - How Induction Heating Works

How INDUCTION heating works There is an electronic circuit inside the induction hob which powers and commands a coil. This creates a magnetic field which activates when it comes into contact with suitable pots and pans (magnetic material). The pan on the hob warms up instantly, while the hob remains cold. There is no loss of heat. The heat generated in the pan lets you cook quickly, saving time and emergy. Induction plate Magnetic field Pan heating Pan in magnetic materialWith pan the cooking area is activatedWithout pan the cooking area is not activated Pots and pans and how to use them ATTENTION They can be made of enamaled steel, cast iron or special pans of stainless steel for induction. To make sure a pan is suitable, try using a magnet to see if it sticks to the bottom of the pan. Never use normal thin steel nor anything containing even just an amount of glass, terracotta, copper or aluminum. The display of the cooking area will show if the pan is suitable, if the power Indicator flashes the pan is not suitable or the diameter of the bottom is too small for the diameter of the cooking area. The pots and pans must be placed precisely in the middle of the cooking area. In some cooking areas an internal diameter is indicated, with a lighter outline.EN

4 - Induction Cooktop Operation

Before using the cooktop for the first time

• All products are wiped clean with solvents at the actory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the manufacturing process.

• If present, remove all packing and literature from the cooktop surface.

• Clean your glass top before the first time you use it. A thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended. It only takes a minute and puts a clean, shiny coating on the glass top before its initial use.

• There may be a slight odour during the first several uses: this is normal and will disappear.

• Optimum cooking result depends on the proper cookware being selected and used.

• The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain hot over 20 minutes after the elements have been turned off.

• The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable material resistant to impact but not unbreakable if a pan or other object is dropped on it.

• Do nor allow pans to boil dry. This can damage the pan, element and /or cooktop.

• Do not slide cookware across cooking surface it may scratch the glass 4 burner cooktops with right and lift side (2) induction generators. 5 burner cooktops with right and lift center (3) induction generators. Power Sharing Four burner cooktops are divided into two separate heating zones. Five burner cooktops are divided into 3 zones. One generator controls 2 elements, or two cooking zones within a heating section share the power of one generator. Power Sharing is activated when both elements in the same cooking zone are activated and one element is set for Boost (P). The element that is not set for Boost will change to a lower power level. This is called Power Sharing. Cookware “noise” When using adjacent elements that are set at certain power level setting, magnetic fields may interact and produce a low whistle or intermitted “hum”. Pens that completely cover the elements ring will produce less noise. A low “humming” noise is normal particularly on high settings. These noises can be reduced or eliminated by lowering or raising the power level settings of one or both of elements.EN

In some cooking areas an internal diameter is indicated with a lighter outline.

NOTE: Dual Size Surface Cooking Area (3-3B) The dual size surface cooking area contains two cooking areas. If the size of the pan is the same as the single size surface cooking area, the cooking arera will work as a single size cooking area. If the size of the pan is the same as the dual size surface cooking area, the dual size cooking area will activate automatically.

5 - Element and Control Setting

ELEMENT AND CONTROL SETTING

Control knobs and power level adjusting The placement of each knob corresponds to the placement of the induction element that it controls. To turn on any, PUSH and TURN the knob clockwise to the required setting, of the according cooking zone can be increased between a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 9. To reduce the power of the cooking zone again it is necessary to turn the knob anticlockwise. The current power level is displayed on the display unit of the hob. Example:EN

Melting function If the knob is turned clockwise from zero position the first “power level” reached is the melting function. The according 7 segment display unit shows this “u” symbol. The melting function is used to heat up the bottom of the pot (40°C / 105°F inside the pot). This function is used to melt food. The maximum time for using the melting function is limited to 2 hours. Warming function The warming function is the second “power level” which will be selected when turning the knob clockwise. The according 7 segment display unit shows this “U” symbol. The warming function is used to heat up the bottom of the pot to 70°C / 160°F (65°C / 150°F inside the pot). Using this function the food can be kept warm or it can be used to warm up food gently. The maximum time for using the warming function is limited to 2 hours. Booster function To activate the boost function press and turn the knob clockwise in overwind position “P” until a beep sounds. The symbol is as shown “P” and will be displayed. After 10 minutes the boost function will be automatically switched off and the “P” is not shown on the display anymore and the induction control will be set automatically at level 9. Bridge function In the 90 and 120 ranges, the adjacent zones (1-2)(4-5) can be bridged (joined) to function as a single elongated cooking zone. Of the 2 cooking zones, the 2 and 4 are the “passive cooking zone”, the 1 and 5 are the “master cooking zone”. To bridge the two zones together: simultaneously turn both zones’ knobs clockwise all the way to position “P” (Power Boost) and hold them there for at least 3s. Release both knobs which will spring back to the setting of 9. The knob for zone 2 and 4 must remain in this position to maintain the bridge. The display for that zone (2 and 4) will show the symbol of the bridge function connected. Now the knob for the master zone (1 and 5) can be used to adjust the power level which will affect both zones equally effectively operating as a single zone. If the master control knob is turned to the off position or if the passive (2 and 4) zone knob is adjusted at all the bridge mode will be canceled and each zone will once again operate independently. Cookware recognition function The cooking level of cooking zone can be selected by turning the knob to the according position even if no pot is in place. The output of power starts automatically as soon as an appropriate pot is put on the cooking zone. If no pot is being detected the display changes to the shown “pot missing” symbol after a short time. This symbol will be shown until a appropriate pot is put on the cooking zone or the maximum time of 10 minutes expired. The same applies if the pot is removed during normal cooking. After 10 minutes without detected pot the cooking zone switches off automatically and can only be activated again after returning the knob into the OFF position.EN

Automatic Heat Up time function The purpose of the Automatic Heat-Up time function is to automate raising food to the desired temperature more quickly compared to simply setting the inductor to that setting. Automatic Heat-Up function will act as a ‘fast preheat’ for an inductor. It will apply setting 9 wattage in order to achieve your desired lower set temperature more quickly. It is not recommended to use this function to preheat an empty pot or pan. Example: you set an inductor to setting 4. It receives a set amount of wattage that is maintained consistently throughout the setting. However, at that wattage it would take quite a bit of time to reach temperature due to the lower wattage input. If you set the inductor at 9 it receives a great deal more wattage which raises the temperature more quickly. How to you get to the temperature of setting 4 but reach it with the speed and wattage of setting 9? Enter Automatic Heat-Up function. To activate the Automatic Heat-Up time function, press and turn the knob counterclockwise to position “A” on the knob (you will feel a spring-back resistance). Hold it on “A” until the “A” symbol shows on the display of the inductor you are adjusting. It will blink waiting for the next input. Within 10 seconds (while the “A” is flashing) select your desired cooking level from 1 through 8. This function will not work if you set it to melt, keep warm or level 9 after the “A” starts flashing. This will be the cooking level after the automatic heat-up is complete. During the automatic heat-up period, the inductor’s display will alternate between “A” and the selected cooking level. Refer to the table below for the time that Automatic Heat-Up mode will operate at setting 9 before automatically switching to the actual level set. Once the Automatic Heat-Up function is locked in any adjustment to the knob will cancel the mode and the inductor will simply operate at the set temperature. So, if you feel that the power 9 has run long enough, you can easily cancel the mode by rotating the knob to a new a different setting and back to your original setting if so desired. Automatic heat-up Level Zone Time (seconds) Level 1 48 Level 2 144 Level 3 230 Level 4 312 Level 5 408 Level 6 120 Level 7 168 Level 8 216 Level 9 -EN

Control Lock function The control lock is a device that protects the appliance from accidental or inappropriate use. With all cooking zones turned off, simultaneously press and turn two knobs counterwise in overwind position “A”. They need to be hold in that position for a least 2s until the symbols “L” appear on the displays, then release the knobs. 90 / 120 In order to deactivate the CL function repeat the same procedure as for activating. After unlocking all knobs have to be turned back in the zero position (if any knob was in a position different from zero). The control is than off and can be operated as expected. NOTE: If the knobs are not hold in the OWL position for long enough the CL will not be enabled / displayed. If the knobs are hold in that position for more than 30 seconds the input is considered to be invalid and a error message “Permanent use of key” will be displayed (flash symbol ). Residual Heat indication Cooking zones which are already switched off can still have a hot glass surface. In order to warn and protect users from burning themselves this condition is visualized, the residual heat measurement is done from the temperature sensor of each inductive cooking zone.. When the measured temperature drops below 60°C / 140°F on the glass the symbol indicating the hot surface disappears.EN

Some traditional methods of cooking, such as double boiler (bain-marie) for creams, sauces, chocolate, etc. are no longer necessary, because now you can cook these directly in the pan, thanks to perfect power regulation and even temperature distribution of the induction system. You can use the “Booster” function with water and soups until they boil, then use a lower level immediately to avoid too much steam and to save energy. When frying heat the oil to the highest power level, then turn down if needed to a medium level when adding food to the pan. Always use pots and pans with a proper lid. Reduce the selected power in the cooking area in time, in the case of water do not let it boil unnecessarily for too long. Always choose containers of an adequate size for the amount of food to be cooked. A large pot which is not completely full consumes a lot of energy. For the best cooking results, metal pots and pans with a flat bottom are recommended. Make sure the bottom of the pan corresponds with the cooking area indicated on the glass. To save energy cook vegetables and potatoes in a small amount of water. Do not heat empty pans otherwise they may be damaged and can also ruin the glass cooking area.

6 - Advice on cookingEN

IMPORTANT Automatic Switch OFF The induction hob has an automatic device which limits the duration of use. Depending on the chosen cooking level a maximum operation time limitation is defined, the safety device will be activated only if no change of cooking level is done. If this maximum operating time is exceeded on a cooking zone this cooking zone is being switched off, a short beep sounds and if the zone is hot the “residual heat” symbol is showed. In order to reactivate this cooking zone the control knob has to be turned back into OFF position. IMPORTANT Overheating status of cooking zone If the hob is used on full power for a long period, the electronics could have trouble cooling down if the room temperature is high. To avoid excessively high temperatures forming in the electronics, the power to the cooking zone is managed automatically to protect itself. Operating time limitation The Fulgor Milano induction appliances all feature safety time-outs (Operating Time Limitation or OTL) on the induction cooking zones. The following table shows the various OTL for each inductor before timing out based on what power level is chosen. (Also applies to bridged zones or induction griddle depending on model). Thus, longer, overnight simmering is possible on settings 1, 2, or 3. OTL – Operating time limitation Level Specs [h] Timeout U&C [h:m] Low 2 2:00

1:30 Permanent use of keys FAULT MESSAGE If the knobs have been kept rotated in the “A” or “P” positions for more than 30 seconds a fault message will appear on the display, or the display will turn off. Cookware “noise” When using adjacent elements that are set at certain power level settings, magnetic fields may interact and produce a low whistle or intermitted “hum”. Pans that completely cover the element ring will produce less noise. A low “humming” noise is normal particularly on high settings. These noise can be reduced or eliminated by lowering or raising the power level settings of one or both of the elements. The less ferrous material there is in a piece of cookware, the noisier and less efficient it will be - to the point where the cookware may not be detected intermittently or at all. Try to avoid “induction compatible” cookware that is “cladded”. Very little of the material in the base of the cookware has the ferrous material needed for effective operation of an induction cooktop. The ideal cookware would be solid stainless steel or cast iron (can be porcelainized). If you are experiencing difficulty with a particular pot or pan, test the same inductor using an all stainless steel or cast iron pot or pan. If the steel or cast iron pot / pan works fine then the issue is with your other cookware, not the appliance. Non-stick cookware is terrible on induction as non stick cookware is primarily aluminum which is not induction compatible. The more ferrous material there is in the cookware, the better and quieter the cooktop will operate.EN

CAUTION Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the cooktop. Apply a small amount of cooktop cleaning specific ceramic crème on a daily basis. this provides a protective film that makes it easy to remove water spots or food spatters. The temperature of the cooking surface reduces the protective qualities of this cleaner. It must be reapplied before each use. Use a clean cloth and apply cooktop cleaning crème before each use to remove dust or metal marks that can occur on the counter level surface between uses. FRAME (Stainless steel models) Always wipe with the grain when cleaning. For moderate/ heavy soil, use BonAmi® or Soft Scrub® (no bleach). Wipe using a damp sponge or cloth, rinse and dry.

DAILY CLEANING TECHNIQUES

Clean the surface when it is completely cool with the following exception.

CLEANING THE COOKTOP

Remove these soils immediately with the razor blade scraper:

• Milk USE DAILY Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp cloth; use white vinegar if smudge remains; rinse. Apply a small amount of the Cooktop Cleaning Cream. When dry, buff surface with a clean paper towel or cloth. CAUTION Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while the surface is hot; use only the razor blade scraper. The resulting fumes can be hazardous to your health. Heating the cleaner can chemically attack and damage the surface. RECOMMENDED CLEANERS

• Cooktop Cleaning Crème: Use only a small amount; apply to a clean paper towel or cloth. Wipe on the surface and buff with a clean dry towel.

• BonAmi®: Rinse and dry.

• Soft Scrub® (without bleach): Rinse and dry.

• White Vinegar: Rinse and dry.

• Razor blade scraper Packaged with cooktop. Note: The recommended cleaners indicate a type ofcleaner and do not constitute an endorsement.

AVOID THESE CLEANERS

• Glass cleaners which contain ammoniac or chlorine bleach These ingredients may permanently etch or stain the cooktop.

• Caustic Cleaners Oven cleaners such as Easy Off® may etch the cooktop surface.

• Abrasive Cleaners Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges such as Scotch Brite® can scratch and / or leave metal marks. Soap-filled scouring pads such as SOS® can scratch the surface.

• Powdery cleaners Containing chlorine bleach can permanently stain the cooktop.

• Flammable cleaners Such as lighter fluid or WD-40.EN

8 - Resolution of operational problems COOKTOP

Problem Cause Possible Remedy Nothing works Cooktop not connected to proper electricalcircuit. Fuse is blown or circuit breaker is tripped. No electricity to the cooktop. Cooktop is in lockout mode.
