Frequently Asked Questions - NW3IND.K2 NEW POL

Why does my induction hob turn off while in use?

The hob may turn off if a cooking zone has been on too long (safety switch-off), if the controls are damp, or if an object is resting on them. Check the safety switch-off times in the manual: for heat settings 1-2 after 6 hours, 3-4 after 5 hours, etc. Dry the controls or remove any objects. If the issue persists, contact an authorized service agent.

What kind of cookware can I use on this induction hob?

Use thick, flat, smooth bottomed cookware made of steel, enamelled steel, cast iron, or stainless steel with a ferromagnetic base. Avoid aluminium, copper, glass, ceramic, or non-ferromagnetic stainless steel. To test, hold a magnet to the base; if it sticks, it's suitable. Minimum pan diameters: 120 mm for small zones, 140 mm for medium, 160 mm for large.

How do I activate the child lock?

After switching on the hob, simultaneously press the left and right side of the Sliding Button, then press the right side again. 'L' will appear on all displays. To deactivate, switch on the hob, press both sides of the Sliding Button, then press the left side. 'L' disappears and the hob turns off.

What does the 'U' symbol mean on the display?

The 'U' symbol indicates that no pan is placed on the cooking zone or the pan is unsuitable for induction. Place a suitable induction-compatible pan on the zone. If a correct pan is placed, the symbol disappears and cooking continues.

How do I clean the ceramic glass hob?

Allow the hob to cool completely. Use a cream or liquid cleaner specifically for ceramic glass. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals. Immediately clean spills, especially sugary substances, to prevent damage.

What is the Boost function and how do I use it?

Boost provides maximum power for fast boiling. To activate, select a cooking zone, set a heat level, then press the 'P' button. 'P' appears on the display. Note that using Boost on two zones on the same side may cause automatic power reduction due to power management.

How does the Smart Pause function work?

Smart Pause reduces all active cooking zones to power level 1. Press the ON/OFF button to activate; 'II' appears on all displays. Press again to deactivate and return to previous settings. If not deactivated within 30 minutes, the hob switches off.

What should I do if an error code appears?

Error codes like E1, E3, etc. indicate specific issues. For example, E5 means internal temperature too high – let the hob cool. E3/E4 may be voltage/frequency issues – try switching off and on. If the error persists, contact an authorized service agent.

Can I use the hob if the glass surface is cracked?

No. If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance immediately to avoid electric shock. Contact an authorized service agent for repair. Do not use the hob until it is repaired.

Why do my pans make noise during cooking?

Noises from pans are normal with induction hobs. They are caused by the energy transfer from the hob to the cookware. It does not affect performance or safety. The sound may vary depending on the pan design.

5.1 CLEANING

WARNING: Switch off the appliance and allow it to cool before cleaning is

to be carried out.

General Instructions

• Check whether the cleaning materials are appropriate and recommended by the manufacturer before use on your appliance.
• Use cream cleaners or liquid cleaners which do not contain particles. Do not use caustic (corrosive) creams, abrasive cleaning powders, rough wire wool or hard tools as they may damage the cooker surfaces.

Do not use cleaners that contain particles, as they may scratch the glass, enamelled and/or painted parts ur appliance.

- Should any liquids overflow, clean them immediately to avoid parts becoming damaged.

Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning any part of the appliance.

Cleaning the Ceramic Glass

Ceramic glass can hold heavy utensils but may be broken if it is hit with a sharp object.

WARNING : Ceramic Cooktops - if the surface is cracked, to avoid the possibility of an electric shock, switch e appliance and call for service.

- Use a cream or liquid cleaner to clean the vitroceramic glass. Then, rinse and dry them thoroughly with a dry cloth.

Do not use cleaning materials meant for steel as they may damage the glass.

- If substances with a low melting point are used in the cookware's base or coatings, they can damage the glass-ceramic cooktop. If plastic, tin foil, sugar or sugary foods have fallen on the hot glass-ceramic cooktop, please scrape it off the hot surface as quickly and as safely as possible. If these substances melt, they can damage the glass-ceramic cooktop. When you cook very sugary items like jam, apply a layer of a suitable protective agent beforehand if it is possible.

• Dust on the surface must be cleaned with a wet cloth.
• Any changes in colour to the ceramic glass will not affect the structure or durability of the ceramic and is not due to a change in the material.

Colour changes to the ceramic glass may be for a number of reasons:

1. Spilt food has not been cleaned off the surface.
2. Using incorrect dishes on the hob will erode the surface.
3. Using the wrong cleaning materials.

Cleaning the Stainless Steel Parts (if available)

- Clean the stainless steel parts of your appliance on a regular basis.

- Wipe the stainless steel parts with a soft cloth soaked in only water. Then, dry them thoroughly with a dry cloth.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING&TRANSPORT

6.1 TROUBLESHOOTING

If you still have a problem with your appliance after checking these basic troubleshooting steps, please contact an authorised service person or qualified technician.

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Hob control card's display is blacked out. The hob or cooking zones cannot be switched on.	There is no power supply.	Check the household fuse for the appliance.Check whether there is a power cut by trying other electronic appliances.
The hob switches off while it is in use and an 'F' flashes on each display.	The controls are damp or an object is resting on them.	Dry the controls or remove the object.
The hob switches off while it is use.	One of the cooking zones has been on for too long.	You can use the cooking zone again by switching it back on.
The hob controls are not working and the child lock LED is on.	Child lock is active. Switch off the child lock.
The saucepans make noise during cooking or your hob makes a clicking sound during cooking.	This is normal with induction hob cookware. This is caused by the transfer of energy from the hob to the cookware.	This is normal. There is no risk, neither to your hob nor to your cookware.
The 'U' symbol lights up in the display of one of the cooking zones.	There is no pan on the cooking zone, or the pan is unsuitable.	Use a suitable pan.
Power level 9 or 'P' is automatically reduced. If you select power level 'P' or 9 on two cooking zones, which are on the same side, at the same time.	Maximum power level for the two zones is reached	Operating both zones at power level 'P' or 9 would exceed the permitted maximum power level for the two zones.
