Frequently Asked Questions - PCITG 1130 PROFICOOK

How do I know if my pans are suitable for this induction hob?

Place the pan on the switched-on hob. If the error code E0 appears and a beep sounds, the pan is not suitable. Utensils made of iron, cast iron, or magnetic stainless steel are suitable. Stoneware, glass, and aluminum are not compatible.

What does the error code E0 mean?

The code E0 indicates that the cookware is not suitable for induction cooking. Replace it with compatible cookware (magnetic bottom). The appliance goes into standby after about 30 seconds.

How do I activate the child lock?

Press the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously. The display shows L. To deactivate, press both buttons again at the same time. All buttons except ON/OFF are then locked.

How do I set the timer?

Turn on the appliance and select a temperature. Press SELECT until the TIME indicator flashes. Use UP/DOWN to set a time from 5 to 180 minutes (in increments of 5 min). The appliance turns off automatically at the end of the time.

Why does the hob turn off automatically after 120 minutes?

This is a safety feature. If no action is taken for 120 minutes, the appliance goes into standby to prevent overheating or forgetting. Simply turn it back on with the ON/OFF button.

What should I do if the hob does not heat up?

Check that the utensil is suitable and well centered on the cooking zone. Ensure the plug is properly connected and the power indicator is on. If the code E02 appears, there is overheating: unplug and let it cool for 20 minutes.

Can I use an extension cord?

No, it is not recommended to use an extension cord or power strip as the 2000 W power can cause overload. Plug the appliance directly into a wall outlet with a 16 A circuit breaker.

How do I clean the ceramic glass surface?

Let it cool completely. Wipe off any warm residue with a damp cloth. For caked-on stains, use a special ceramic glass cleaner and a soft sponge. Never use abrasives or steel wool.

What is the maximum power? Can I use the appliance with a power strip?

The maximum power is 2000 W. Use of a power strip is prohibited as it may overload the circuit. Always plug the appliance directly into a suitable mains outlet (220-240 V).

What should I do if the fan continues to run after turning off?

This is normal. The fan cools the internal components. It may run for a few minutes after the hob is turned off. Wait until it stops before storing the appliance. Do not unplug the power cord while it is running.

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 "E0" appears, the cookware is unsuitable.

i NOTE:

For safety reasons, the appliance will switch to standby mode after about 30 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

  • 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.
