6. OPERATING OF THE APPLIANCE

1. Power and savings

Induction hobs heat up food much more quickly than other systems do. As the heat is produced in the cookware itself, less energy is lost and the performance of the appliance becomes better. Induction-based cooking uses only half the energy as other systems do. This lower consumption makes induction-based cooking the cheapest of all electric-based cooking systems.

2. Safety

The risk for getting burnt by the hot glass-ceramic is minimal. As the heat is produced in the cookware itself, the glass hardly heats up at all. The induction rings have got a cookware detection system, i.e. the rings will not work unless there is a suitable cookware on it.

1. Switching on a ring

Place your fingertip on he On/Off sensor. Remember there is a safety device to prevent children from playing with the controls which is deactivated by leaving your fingertip on the control for three seconds. If the safety sensor is running or if you use the appliance for the first time, you should deactivate the safety device first.
Touch the timer sensor if you want to use it for cooking.
Touch the + and - sensors for adjusting the cooking time.
Make sure you touch the sensor corresponding to the ring you wish to use.
Adjust the power of the selected ring by touching the + and - sensors.

Important

If all the rings are turned off, the appliance will stop operating within a few seconds. An H displays, which rings are still hot.
You can activate the safety sensor whenever you wish by holding your fingertip on the sensor for three seconds.
If any items are left on the sensors the appliance will beep several times and then stop operating.
The appliance will automatically stop operating after 2 hours, even if a ring is still working but the settings were not changed in any way within these 2 hours.

4. Timer function

The timer function can merely control one ring at the same time. When the timer function is activated this is indicated at the power display of the corresponding ring by an illumination of the display. If you want to cancel the timer function, use the - sensor to decrease the setting to O.

5. Booster function

All rings can be used with the booster function, which sets the ring to its maximum power by running the ring at maximum power for 5 minutes. Afterwards the ring runs by a setting which maintains this temperature. This takes place automatically. The programming procedure is as the following:

→ Touch the sensor of the ring you want the booster function to run with for 2 seconds.
Now the corresponding display shows the status signal P and the ring is driven to its maximum temperature as long as it is needed.
When the heating period is finished you hear a short sonic signal (beep) and the power display shows the level, which is needed to maintain the temperature. The ring now is operating within its conventional parameters.
If you touch the ring indicator while the booster function is running, the booster function will be cancelled. Now you can choose the power settings 0 – 9 again. If at a ring the booster function of which was activated has been adjusted a power setting before, this power setting will be readjusted if you cancel the booster function.

Cookware

Use the supplied magnet to verify whether any cookware is suitable to be used on an induction hob.
If the magnet adheres on the bottom of the cookware, the cookware can be used on an induction hob.
The induction ring display itself also indicates whether the cookware is suitable.
If the power indicator flashes and shows the status signal E0, the cookware will not be suitable and the ring will not be neatened up.
If the cookware has got a very small base, the ring indicator will also flash and the ring will not be neatened up., even if the metal is suitable. We recommend not to use any cookware with a smaller base than described below (in mm):

ring 280 →	160 diameter	ring 210 →	180 diameter
ring 180 →	160 diameter	ring 150 →	120 diameter

Glass, ceramic, earthenware, aluminium, copper and non-magnetic stainless steel are generally unsuitable.
Enamelled stainless steel cookware with a special base suitable for induction cooking may be used. Make sure the cookware is labelled for the use on an induction hob.
Induction-based heat is very rapidly generated in the base of the cookware itself. So never heat up an empty cookware.

Different types of cookware are suitable for the use on an induction hob, but induction cooking works best, when you use cookware with a thick base, because the energy is very efficiently used and distributed then.

Avoid scrapping the glass ceramic of the hob when moving the cookware.

Lift the cookware for moving it.

Do not leave any cooking utensils on the hob when it is operating. It could detect them as cookware and heat them up.

Cutlery will ordinarily not be detected as cookware, but larger utensils may be detected as cookware.

Keep an eye on pressure cookers when using the higher induction settings. Pressure cookers heat up very quickly.
