Using the induction hob

Before first use

IMPORTANT: You should clean the ceramic hob surface (see "Cleaning and maintenance" section).

• You should switch on the hob for 5 minutes at the maximum setting. This will help to eliminate any new smell that exists and evaporate any humidity that has formed on the heating elements during transit.
• You must place a saucepan filled half full with cold water on the zone as you burn it off. Otherwise the induction zone will not operate.

Cookware that is suitable for an induction hob

The table below shows cookware that is normally suitable for use on an induction zone hob:-

Cookware	Suitable
Steel, enamelled steel	Yes
Cast iron	Yes
Stainless steel	Yes (if stated by the pan manufacturer)
Aluminium, copper, brass	No
Glass, ceramic, porcelain	No

• The bottom of the pans should be as flat and thick as possible.
• Certain types of cookware may result in a noise being made when being used on an induction zone hob. This does not mean that there is an appliance fault.
• IMPORTANT: You should make sure that all pans are placed in the centre of the induction zone that you are using.

Hob guidelines

• The first few times the hob is used, it may give off an acrid, burning smell. This smell will disappear completely with repeated use.
• The saucepan must be positioned exactly on the zone for efficient heating to occur. Pans should have the same diameter as the cooking zone that it is being used on.

• You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can scratch the ceramic surface.
  Before use, make sure that the bottom of the saucepan is clean and dry.

• When cold, the bottom of the pan should be slightly concave, as it will expand when hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This will allow the heat to transfer more easily.

• The best thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2 – 3 mm of enamelled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich type bottoms.
  ○ If these rules are not followed, then there will be a great loss of heat and energy. Heat not absorbed by the saucepan, will spread to the hob, frame and surrounding areas.

○ Preferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower heat.
○ Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water as possible, to reduce cooking times.
- DO NOT attempt to heat an empty pot.
- You should never leave the hob unattended at any time during use.
- Food or liquid that has high sugar content may damage the hob if it comes into contact with the ceramic hob surface. Any spillages should be wiped up immediately, however this may not prevent the hob surface from becoming damaged.
- Never heat foods in sealed containers, such as compressed products or cans to avoid an explosion caused by heat expansion.
○ IMPORTANT: The ceramic hob surface is tough; however it is not unbreakable and can be damaged. Especially if pointed or hard objects are allowed to fall on it with some force.
DO NOT USE THE HOB IF THE SURFACE BECOMES BROKEN OR CRACKED. YOU SHOULD CONTACT THE BAUMATIC SERVICE

DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY.

The glass is being scratched.	Rough-edged cookware.Unsuitable, abrasive scourer or cleaning products being used.	Use cookware with flat and smooth bases. See the section on cookware in this manual.
Some pans make crackling or clicking noises.	This may be caused by the construction of your cookware (layer of different metals vibrating differently).	This is normal for cookware and does not indicate a fault.
The induction hob makes a low humming noise when used on a high heatsetting.	This is caused by the technology of induction cooking.	This is normal, but the noise should quieten down or disappear completely when you decrease thepower level.
Fan noise coming from the induction hob.	A cooling fan built into your induction hob has come on to prevent the electronics from overheating. It may continue to run even after you've turned the induction hob off.	This is normal and needs no action. Do not switch the power to the induction hob off at the wall while the fan is running.
The power light (2) turns on but the pans do not become hot.	The induction hob cannot detect the pan because it is not suitable for induction cooking.
