HOW TO SAVE ELECTRICITY

Using the electricity in a re- sponsible manner not only saves money, but also helps protect the environment. So let’s save electricity! This is how it’s done: ●Use the correct cookware. Cookware with at and a thick base can save up to 1/3 of electricity. Please remember to cover cookware with the lid, otherwise electri- city consumption increased four times! ●Always keep the cooking zones and cookware bases clean. Dirt prevents proper heat transfer. Often burnt stains can be removed only with agents harmful to the environment. ●Avoiding unnecessary lifting the lid to peek into the pot. ●Do not install the hob in the immediate vicinity of refrigerator / freezer. The electricity consumption is then unneces- sarily increased.9

INSTALLATION Connecting to electrical mains Important! Electrical connection must be made by a properly certied qualied installer. Do not make any alterations in the appliance electrical system. Tips for the installer The hob is equipped with a terminal block allowing di󰀨erent connections appropriate for a specic type of power supply. Terminal block allows the following connections: - single-phase 230 V ~ - two-phase 400 V 2N ~ - three-phase 400 V 3N ~ The hob can be adapted to a specic type of power supply by bridging the appropriate terminals according to wiring diagram. Wiring diagram is placed on the hob's underside. The terminal block can be accessed by removing the lid on hob's underside. Remember to match the power cord to the type of connection and the hob's power rating. Important! Remember to connect the neutral lead to correct terminal block clamp, marked with . The electrical system supplying the hob must be protected by a properly selected tripping device or a circuit breaker allowing to disconnect the power supply in an emergency. Before connecting the appliance to power, please carefully read the information provided on the rating plate and wiring diagram. Connecting the hob other than shown on the wiring diagram may damage the hob. CAUTION!

L316 OPERATION Before using the appliance for the rst time ● thoroughly clean your induction hob rst. The induction hob should be treated with the same care as a glass surface. ● switch on the ventilation in the room or open a window, as the appliance could emit an unpleasant smell during rst use. ● operate the appliance while observing all safety guidelines. Induction cooking zone operation principle Electric oscillator powers a coil placed inside the appliance. This coil produces a magnetic eld, which induces eddy cur- rents in the cookware. These eddy currents induced by the magnetic eld cause the cookware to heat up. This requires the use of pots and pans whose base is ferromagnetic, in other words suscep- tible to magnetic elds. Overall, induction technology is characterized by two advantages: ● the heat is only emitted by the cookware and its use is maximised, ● there is no thermal inertia, since the cooking starts immediately when the pot is placed on the hob and ends once it is removed. Certain sounds can be heard during normal use of the induction hob, which do not a󰀨ect its correct operation. ● Low-frequency humming. This noise arises when the cookware is empty and stops when water is poured or food is placed in the cookware. ● High-frequency whizz. This noise arises in cookware made of multiple layers of di󰀨erent materials at maximum heat setting. The noise intensies when using two or more cooking zones at maximum heat setting. The noise will stop or reduce when heat setting is reduced. ● Creaking noise. This noise arises in cookware made of multiple layers of di󰀨erent materi- als. The noise intensity depends on how the food is cooked. ● Buzzing. Buzzing can be heard when electronics cooling fan operates. The noises that can be heard during the normal appliance operation are the result of the cooling fan operation, cooking method, cookware dimensions, cookware material and the heat setting. These noises are normal and do not indicate a fault.17 The protective device: If the hob has been installed correctly and is used properly, any protective devices are rarely required. Fan: protects and cools controls and power components. It can operate at two di󰀨erent speeds and is activated automatically. Fan runs until the electronic system has su󰀩ciently cooled down regardless of the appliance or the cooking zones being turned on or o󰀨. Temperature sensor: Temperature of electronic circuits is continuously monitored by a temperature sensor. If temperature is raised beyond a safe level, this protection system will reduce cooking zone heat setting or shut down the cooking zones adjacent to the overheated electronic circuits. Pan detection: allows the hob to detect pans placed on a cooking zone. Small objects placed on the cooking zone (eg, spoon, knife, ring ...) will not be recognised as pans and the hob will not operate. OPERATION Pan detector Pan detector is installed in induction hobs. Pan detector starts heating automatically when a pan is detected on a cooking zone and stops heating when it is removed. This helps save electricity. ● When an suitable pan is placed on a cooking zone, the display shows the heat setting. ● Induction requires the use of suitable cookware with ferromagnetic base (see Table paige 18). Pan detector does not operate as the on/o󰀨 sensor. When switching the appliance on or o󰀨 or changing the heat setting, attention should be paid that only one sensor eld at a time is touched. When two or more sensor elds are touched at the same time (except timer and child lock), the appliance igno- res the control signals and may trigger a fault indication if sensor elds are touched for a long time. When you nish cooking switch o󰀨 the cooking zone using touch control sensor elds and do not rely solely on the pan detector. The induction hob is equipped with electronic touch control sensor elds, which are operated by touching the marked area with a nger. Each time a sensor eld is touched, an acoustic signal can be heard. If a pan is not placed on a cooking zone or the pan is unsuitable, the symbol is displayed. The cooking zone will not operate. If a pan is not detected within 90 seconds, the cooking zone will be switched o󰀨. Switch o󰀨 the cooking zone using the touch control sensor eld rather than by remo- ving the pan.18 OPERATION The high-quality cookware is an essential condition for e󰀩cient induction cooking. Cookware characteristics.

Always use high quality cookware, with perfectly at base. This prevents the formation of local hot spots, where food might stick.Pots and pans with thick steel walls provide superior heat distribution. ● Make sure that cookware base is dry: when lling a pot or when using a pot taken out of the refrigerator make sure its base is completely dry before placing it on the cooking zone. This is to avoid soiling the surface of the hob. ● Lid prevents heat from escaping and thus reduces heating time and lowers energy con- sumption. ● To determine if cookware is suitable, make sure that its base attracts a magnet. ● Cookware base has to be at for optimal temperature control by the induction module. ● The concave base or deep embossed logo of the manufacturer interfere with the temperature induction control module and can cause overheating of the pot or pan. ● Do not use damaged cookware such as cookware with deformed base due to exces- sive heat. ● When you use large ferromagnetic base cookware, whose diameter is less than the total diameter of the cookware, only the ferromagnetic base heats up. This results in a situ- ation where it is not possible to uniformly distribute the heat in the cookware. If the ferromagnetic area is reduced due to inclusion of aluminium parts then the e󰀨ective heated area can be reduced. Problems with the detection of the cookware could arise or cookware may not be detected at all. To achieve optimum cooking results, the diameter of the ferromagnetic base should match that of the cooking zone. If cookware is not detected in a given cooking zone, it is advisable to try it in a smaller cooking zone. Select cookware for induction cooking19 OPERATION Marking of kitchen cookware Check for marking indicating that the cookware is suitable for induction cooking. Use magnetic cookware (enamelled steel, ferrite sta- inless steel, cast iron). The easiest way to determine if your cookware is suitable is to perform the „magnet test”. Find a generic magnet and check if it sticks to the base of the cookware. Stainless Steel Cookware is not detected With the exception of the ferromagnetic steel cookwa-

Aluminium Cookware is not detected Cast iron High e󰀩ciency Caution: cookware can scratch the hob surface Enamelled steel High e󰀩ciency Cookware with a at, thick and smooth base is re- commended Glass Cookware is not detected Porcelain Cookware is not detected Cookware with copper base Cookware is not detected For induction cooking us only ferromagnetic base materials such as: ●enamelled steel ● cast iron ● special stainless steel cookware designed for induction cooking. The smallest useful diameter of cookware for a cooking zone: Cooking zone dia- meter The minimum diameter of the bottom of an enamelled steel cookware [mm] [mm]

The minimum diameter of cookware made of materials other than enamelled steel may vary.20 OPERATION Control Panel ● Immediately after the appliance is connected to electrical mains, all displays will light up briey. Your induction hob is then ready for use. ● The induction hob is equipped with electronic touch control sensor elds, which are operated by touching with a nger for at least 1 second. ● Touching of a sensor eld is accompanied by an acoustic signal to acknowledge. No objects should be placed on the sensor elds (this could cause an error). Touch sensor elds should be always kept clean. Selecting the cooking zone heat setting When the cooking zone display (3) shows pulsating "0" start setting the desired heat setting by sliding your nger across the setting selection sensor eld (2). Switch on the cooking zone Once the appliance is switched on using the on/o󰀨 touch sensor (1), select a cooking zone (3) within the next 10 seconds.

For Ø 180, Ø 210-220 , Ø 160-180 cooking zone, operation of the Booster function is limited to 10 minutes. Once the Booster function is automatically deactivated, the cooking zone continues to operate at its nominal power. The Booster function can be reactivated, provided the appliance electronic circuits and induction coils are not overheated. When the pot is lifted from the cooking zone when the Booster function is in operation, it remains active and the countdown continues. When the appliance electronic circuits or induction coils overheat when the Booster function is in operation, it is automatically deactivated. The cooking zone continues to operate at its nominal power.22 OPERATION Depending on the model, the cooking zones are paired vertically or crosswise. Total power is shared within the paired cooking zones.. If you attempt to enable the Booster function for both cooking zones simultane- ously, the maximum power available would be exceeded. In that case the heat setting of the rst activated cooking zone will be reduced to the highest level available. Booster function control The Child Lock function protects the appliance from inadvertent operation by children. The appliance can be operated once the child lock function has been released. The child lock function The Child Lock function can be set when the appliance turned on or o󰀨. The Child Lock function remains set until it is released even after the appliance has been switched o󰀨 and then switched on again. Disconnecting the appliance from electrical mains deactivates the Child Lock. Turn Child Lock on/o󰀨 Touch and hold sensor (9) for 5 seconds to turn Child Lock on/o󰀨. Indicator light (10) is on when the Child Lock function is on. The "H" residual heat indicator is not displayed during a power outage. However, cooking zones may still be hot! Residual heat indicator Heat energy that remains accumulated in the cooking zone after cooking is called the re- sidual heat. The appliance displays two di󰀨erent levels of residual heat. When a cooking zone temperature is above 60°C and the cooking zone or the appliance is switched o󰀨, the relevant cooking zone display will show the letter "H". Residual heat indication is displayed as long as the cooking zone temperature exceeds 60°C. When a cooking zone temperature is between 45°C and 60°C, the relevant cooking zone display will show the letter "h" indicat- ing low residual heat. When a cooking zone temperature is below 45°C the residual heat indication is turned o󰀨. When residual heat indicator is on, do not touch the cooking zone as there is a risk of burns and do not place on it any items sensitive to heat!23 OPERATION Limit the operating time In order to increase e󰀩ciency, the induction hob is tted with a operating time limiter for each of the cooking zones. The maximum operating time is set according to the last heat setting selected. If you do not change the heat setting for a long time (see table) then the associated cooking zone is automatically switched o󰀨 and the residual heat indicator is activated. However, you can switch on and operate individual cooking zones at any time in accordance with the operating instructions.
