HOW TO SAVE ELECTRICITY

Simple line drawing of a tree with two roots and wavy lines at the base (no text or symbols)

Using the electricity in a responsible 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 flat 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 unnecessarily increased.

- The hob has a fixed-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.

Before using the appliance for the first time

• thoroughly clean your induction hob first. 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 first use.
• operate the appliance while observing all safety guidelines.

Induction cooking zone operation principle

Simple line drawing of a steaming pot on a tray with no text or symbols

Electric oscillator powers a coil placed inside the appliance. This coil produces a magnetic field, which induces eddy currents 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.

This requires the use of pots whose base is ferromagnetic, in other words susceptible to magnetic fields.

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 different speeds and is activated automatically. Fan runs until the electronic system has sufficiently cooled down regardless of the appliance or the cooking zones being turned on or off.

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.

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.

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).

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 off.

Switch off the cooking zone using the touch control sensor field rather than by removing the pan.

Pan detector does not operate as the on/off sensor.

The induction hob is equipped with electronic touch control sensor fields, which are operated by touching the marked area with a finger.

Each time a sensor field is touched, an acoustic signal can be heard.

When switching the appliance on or off or changing the heat setting, attention should be paid that only one sensor field at a time is touched. When two or more sensor fields are touched at the same time (except timer and child lock), the appliance ignores the control signals and may trigger a fault indication if sensor fields are touched for a long time.

When you finish cooking switch off the cooking zone using touch control sensor fields and do not rely solely on the pan detector.

The high-quality cookware is an essential condition for efficient induction cooking.

Select cookware for induction cooking

Six identical cooking pots with crossed X marks, arranged horizontally (no text or symbols)

Cookware characteristics.

• Always use high quality cookware, with perfectly flat 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 filling 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 consumption.
• To determine if cookware is suitable, make sure that its base attracts a magnet.
• Cookware base has to be flat 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 excessive 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 effective 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.

For induction cooking us only ferromagnetic base materials such as:

• enamelled steel
• cast iron
• special stainless steel cookware designed for induction cooking.

Marking of kitchen cookware	Check for marking indicating that the cookware is suitable for induction cooking.
	Use magnetic cookware (enamelled steel, ferrite stainless 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.

Control Panel

• Immediately after the appliance is connected to electrical mains, all displays will light up briefly. Your induction hob is then ready for use.
• The induction hob is equipped with electronic touch control sensor fields, which are operated by touching with a finger for at least 1 second.
• Touching of a sensor field is accompanied by an acoustic signal to acknowledge.

No objects should be placed on the sensor fields (this could cause an error). Touch sensor fields should be always kept clean.

Switching on the appliance

To switch on the appliance touch and hold the on/off sensor field (1) for at least 1 second. All displays (3) will show the number „0”.

If none of the sensor fields is touched within 20 seconds, the appliance switches itself off.

Switching on the cooking zones

Once the appliance is switched on using the on/off sensor field (1), select a cooking zone (5) within the next 20 seconds.

1. When a cooking zone selection sensor field (5) is touched, „0” on the corresponding heat setting indicator display will become bright.

2. Set the desired heat setting using the „+” (2) or „-” (4) sensor fields.

If none of the sensor fields is touched within 20 seconds of switching on the appliance, the cooking zone switches off.

A cooking zone is active when its display shows a digit or a letter. This indicates the cooking zone is ready for the heat setting to be set or changed.

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 field.

Switching off cooking zones

• A given cooking zone must be active. Heat setting display is bright.
• To switch off a cooking zone touch the on/off sensor field or touch the lower heat setting sensor field „-” (4) to reduce the heat setting to „0”.

Switching off the appliance

• The hob operates when at least one cooking zone is on.
• To switch off the appliance touch the on/off sensor (1).

If the cooking zone is still hot, the relevant display (3) will show the letter „H” to indicate residual heat.

The Booster Function increases the nominal power of the 210 mm cooking zone from 2000W to 3000W, 160 mm cooking zone from 1200W to 1400W.

In order to activate the Booster function, select the cooking zone, set the heat setting to „9“ and then touch the „+” (2) sensor field again. The letter „P” will be shown on the display.

To deactivate the Booster function, touch the „-” (4) sensor field to reduce the heat setting or lift the cookware from the cooking zone.

For 160, 210 mm cooking zone, operation of the Booster function is limited to 5 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.

Booster function control

Two cooking zones arranged vertically form a pair.

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 automatically reduced.

The residual heat indicator

Once a cooking zone is switched off, „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 residual 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

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 can be set when the appliance turned on or off.

Turn Child Lock on/off

Touch and hold sensor (7) for 5 seconds to turn Child Lock on/off. Indicator light is on when the Child Lock function is on.

The Child Lock function remains set until it is released even after the appliance has been switched off and then switched on again. Disconnecting the appliance from electrical mains deactivates the Child Lock.

Limiting the operating time

In order to increase efficiency, the induction hob is fitted 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 off 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.

In order to conserve electricity, after 30 minutes heating setting „9“ will be automatically reduced to the heat setting „8“, but cook time will not change.

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^ . 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 flat base pot or frying pan, so that base temperature is accurately measured by the temperature sensor fitted 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 off after 2 hours.

Keep warm setting is an additional heat setting available between „0“ and „1“ and is indicated on the display as „U“.

Keep warm setting is activated in the same way as described in the section „Switching on the cooking zones”.

Keep warm setting is deactivated in the same way as described in the section „Switching off the cooking zones”.

When the set time has elapsed an acoustic signal is sounded, which can be muted by touching any sensor field. If no sensor field is touched, the acoustic signal will stop automatically after 2 minutes.

To stop the timer countdown before the set time has elapsed:

• Simultaneously touch „+” (2) and „-” (4) sensor fields to select Kitchen Timer.
• Touch „-” (4) sensor field to reduce time to „00”.
• Kitchen timer will stop.
• Kitchen Timer function does not affect cooking zone operation.

Proper routine maintenance and cleaning of the appliance can significantly extend its trouble-free operation.

When cleaning induction hobs, the same principles apply as for glass surfaces. Do not use under any circumstances any abrasive or caustic cleaners or scouring powders or pads! Do not use steam or pressure cleaners.

Diagram showing three containers crossed by a diagonal line, with no text or symbols present.

Cleaning after each use

• Wipe light stains with a damp cloth without detergent. The use of dishwashing liquid may cause a bluish surface discolouration. These persistent stains cannot always 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.

Scraper to clean the hob

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 off the cooking zone when removing sugar, food containing sugar, plastic and aluminium foil. Immediately and thoroughly scrape the leftovers off the hot cooking zone using a sharp scraper. Once the bulk of the stain is removed the hob can be turned off and clean the cooled off cooking zone with a special cleaning agent.

Special cleaners are available in supermarkets, electrical and home appliance shops, drug stores, as well as retail food shops and kitchen showrooms. Scrapers can be purchased in DIY and construction equipment stores, as well as in shops carrying painting accessories.

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 off 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 off 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 off 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,
