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 electricity 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.55

Do not install the appliance without the foam gasket. Then turn the hob over insert it into the cut-out of the furniture. Align the positioning symmetrically so that the distances between the hob and the countertop is the same on all sides. (g. 5)

● The hob has a xed-mounted cable with a neutral contact and may only be connected to a 220-240 V ~ 50 Hz socket with grounding pin. Socket power circuit should be protected with a 16 A fuse.59 OPERATION 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 pot, when it is placed on the hob. These currents make the pot real transmitters of heat, while the hob glass surface remains cool. 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. This requires the use of pots whose base is ferromagnetic, in other words susceptible to magnetic elds. Overall, induction technology is characterized by two advantages: ● the heat is only emitted by the pot 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. 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.60 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). 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 10 minutes, 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. 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.61 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 ex- cessive 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 situation 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 cooking62 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.63 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 bright “0”, start setting the desired heat setting using the „+” (2) or „-” (4) sensor eld. Switching on the cooking zones Once the appliance is switched on using the on/o󰀨 sensor eld (1), select a cooking zone (5) within the next 20 seconds.

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 Bo- oster function is in operation, it is automatically deactivated. The cooking zone continues to operate at its nominal power.65 OPERATION If activating Booster function causes the overall power limit of a pair to be exceeded, the heat setting of the other cooking zone in a pair will be automa- tically reduced. Booster function control Two cooking zones arranged vertically form a pair. The residual heat indicator Once a cooking zone is switched o󰀨, „H” is displayed on the relevant cooking zone’s display to warn that the „cooking zone is still hot!”. Do not touch the cooking zone at this time owing to the risk of burns from resi- dual heat, and do not place any object on it which is sensitive to heat! When the residual heat indicator goes out, cooking zone can be touched, however keep in mind that it may still be warmer than ambient temperature. When there is no power, the residual heat indicator does not light up. 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 (7) for 5 seconds to turn Child Lock on/o󰀨. Indicator light is on when the Child Lock function is on.66 OPERATION Limiting 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 co- oking zones at any time in accordance with the operating instructions. Timer countdown can be set independently for all cooking zones. Timer Timer function makes cooking easier by making it possible to set cook time. It can also be used as a Kitchen Timer.

Keeping food warm Keep warm function allows for keeping food warm on a cooking zone. The selected cooking zone operates at a low heat setting. Cooking zone’s heat setting is automatically adjusted so that food temperature is kept at a constant temperature of 65°C. Thanks to this, ready to serve, warm food retains its taste and does not stick to the pot’s bottom. This function can be also used to melt butter or chocolate. For the keep food warm function to operate correctly, use a at base pot or frying pan, so that base temperature is accurately measured by the temperature sensor tted in the cooking zone. The Keep Warm function can be activated for any cooking zone. Due to a risk of the growth of microorganisms, it is not recommended to keep food warm for a long time, so the Keep Warm function is switched o󰀨 after 2 hours.69 Proper routine maintenance and cleaning of the appliance can signicantly extend its trouble-free operation. Cleaning after each use ● Wipe light stains with a damp cloth without detergent. The use of dishwashing liquid may cause a bluish surface discoloura- tion. These persistent stains cannot al- ways be removed right away, even using a special cleaner. ● Firmly adhering dirt can be carefully removed with a scraper. Then wipe the cooking surface with a damp cloth.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Scraper to clean the hob When cleaning induction hobs, the same principles apply as for glass surfaces. Do not use under any cir- cumstances any abrasive or caustic cleaners or scouring powders or pads! Do not use steam or pressure cleaners. Removing stains ● Bright stains of pearl colour (residual aluminium) can be removed from the cool hob using a special cleaning agent. Limestone residue (eg. after evaporated water) can be removed by vinegar or a special cleaning agent. ● Do not turn o󰀨 the cooking zone when removing sugar, food containing sugar, plastic and aluminium foil. Immediately and thoroughly scrape the leftovers o󰀨 the hot cooking zone using a sharp scraper. Once the bulk of the stain is removed the hob can be turned o󰀨 and clean the cooled o󰀨 cooking zone with a special cleaning agent. Special cleaners are available in supermar- kets, electrical and home appliance shops, drug stores, as well as retail food shops and kitchen showrooms. Scrapers can be pur- chased in DIY and construction equipment stores, as well as in shops carrying painting accessories.70

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Never apply a detergent on the hot cooking zone. It is best to let the cleaner dry and then wipe it wet. Any traces of the detergent should be wiped o󰀨 clean with a damp cloth before re-heating. Otherwise, it can be corrosive. Warranty will be void if you do not follow the above guidelines! Important! If the hob’s controls do not respond for whatever reason, then turn o󰀨 the main circuit breaker or remove the fuse and contact customer service. Important! In the event of breakage or chipping of the hob cooking surface, turn o󰀨 and unplug the appliance. To do this, disconnect the fuse or unplug the appliance. Then refer the repair to professional service. Periodic inspections In addition to normal cleaning and maintenance: ● carry out periodic checks of touch controls and other elements. After the warranty expires, have authorised service inspect the appliance every two years, ● repair and identied problems, ● carry out periodic maintenance of the hob.
