Frequently Asked Questions - LCHOBTC16 Logik

How do I turn on the ceramic hob?

Touch the ON/OFF control. After turning on, you will hear an audible tone and all indicators will light up then go out, indicating standby mode.

Why are the touch controls unresponsive?

The controls may be locked. Unlock them by touching and holding the Keylock control for a while. Alternatively, ensure the control area is dry and clean, and use the ball of your finger.

How do I lock the controls to prevent accidental operation?

Touch the Keylock control. The timer indicator will show 'Lo'. To unlock, touch and hold the Keylock control for a few seconds.

What does 'H' mean on the display?

'H' indicates that the cooking zone is still hot (residual heat). It will disappear when the surface cools to a safe temperature.

How do I set the timer to turn off a cooking zone?

Touch the power level controls of the desired zone until the red light illuminates. Then set the time using the + and - timer controls. The zone will automatically switch off when the time elapses.

What should I do if something spills on the touch controls?

Switch off the hob, soak up the spill, and wipe the control area with a clean damp sponge or cloth. Ensure it is dry before turning the hob back on.

Can I use any type of cookware on this ceramic hob?

Use cookware with flat and smooth bases, the same size as the cooking zone. Avoid pans with jagged edges or curved bases, and always lift pans instead of sliding them to prevent scratches.

How do I clean burnt-on sugar or spills?

Remove immediately while the glass is warm (but not hot) using a ceramic hob scraper held at a 30° angle. Then clean with a ceramic hob cleaner and wipe dry.

What is the auto shutdown feature?

If a cooking zone is left on for an extended period, the hob will automatically shut off. Shutdown times vary by power level (e.g., 8 hours for low settings, 2 hours for high settings).

Using Your Ceramic Hob

To Start Cooking

1. Touch the ON/OFF control.

After turning on, you will hear an available tone. All the indicators light up then go out, indicating that the ceramic hob has entered standby mode.

1. Place a suitable pan on the cooking zone that you wish to use.

Cooking Guidelines

Take care when frying as oil and fat heat up very quickly. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.

Cooking Tips

• When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting.
  • Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
• Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
• Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated through.

Simmering, Cooking Rice

• Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 85^ , when bubbles are just rising occasionally to the surface of the cooking liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and tender stews because the flavours develop without overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based and flour thickened sauces below boiling point.
• Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a setting higher than the lowest setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time recommended.

Searing Steak

To cook juicy flavoursome steaks:

1. Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2. Heat up a heavy-based frying pan.
3. Brush both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and then lower the meat onto the hot pan.
4. Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the steak and how cooked you want it. Times may vary from about 2 – 8 minutes per side. Press the steak to gauge how cooked it is – the firmer it feels the more 'well done' it will be.
5. Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax and become tender before serving.

For Stir-Frying

1. Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick. If cooking large quantities, cook the food in several smaller batches.

Heat Settings

The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on several factors, including your cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment with the ceramic hob to find the settings that best suits you.

Cleaning and Maintenance

What? How? Important!
Everyday soiling on glass (fingerprints, marks, stains left by food or non-sugary spillovers on the glass)	1. Switch the power to the ceramic hob off.2. Apply a ceramic hob cleaner while the glass is still warm (but not hot!)3. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.	When the power to the ceramic hob is switched off, there will be no 'hot surface' indication but the cooking zone may still be hot!Take extreme care.Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon scourers and harsh/abrasive cleaning agents may scratch the glass. Always read the label to check if your cleaner or scourer is suitable.Never leave cleaning residue on the ceramic hob: the glass may become stained.
Boilovers, melts, and hot sugary spills on the glass	Remove these immediately with a fish slice, palette knife or razor blade scraper suitable for ceramic glass ceramic hobs, but beware of hot cooking zone surfaces:1. Switch the power to the ceramic hob off.2. Hold the blade or utensil at a 30° angle and scrape the soiling or spill to a cool area of the ceramic hob.3.

Installation

Preparing the Worktop

Cut out the work surface following the dimensions shown in the drawing below.

For the purpose of installation and use, a minimum distance of 5cm space must be left around the cut out.

Be sure the thickness of the work surface is around 33mm. Use a heat-resistant work surface material to avoid deformation caused by the heat from the hob. The minimum distance between the hob and the cupboard should be at least 76cm.

Ensuring Adequate Ventilation

Always make sure the ceramic cooker hob is well ventilated and that the air inlet and outlet are not blocked. This hob requires an adequate supply of fresh, cool air to fully function. The base of the hob must have direct unrestricted ventilation to the room where the hob is installed. Follow the requirements below.

Fastening the Fixing Brackets

The unit should be placed on a stable, smooth surface (use the packaging).

1. Turn the hob upside down, place it on a soft surface and fasten the brackets to the appropriate holes. DO NOT tighten the screws at this stage.

2. Apply sealing strips around the edge of the hob.

• The hob must be installed by qualified personnel or technicians.

• The hob should not be mounted above cooling equipment, dishwashers and rotary dryers.

- All surfaces around the hob should be able to withstand the heat generated by the hob.

- Never use a steam cleaner to clean the hob.

- Do not use a silicon sealant to seal the appliance against the aperture. This will make it difficult to

remove the hob from the aperture, particularly if it needs to be serviced.

Connecting the Hob to the Mains Power Supply

1. Remove the screw A.

1. Push the top plate back and then lift it up.

The power supply should be connected in compliance with the relevant standard, or a single-pole circuit breaker the method of connection is shown below.

3 × 6 ~mm^2 / 3 × 2.5 ~mm^2

• This appliance must be earthed.
- For this connection a power lead of wire type H05W-F should be used.

PELN

• If the mains cable is damaged and needs to be replaced, this should be done by a qualified person using the proper tools, so as to avoid any accidents.
• If the ceramic hob is being connected directly to the mains supply, an omnipolar circuit breaker must be installed with a minimum gap of 3mm between the contacts.

• The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has been made and that it complies with safety regulations.
  • The mains cable must not be bent or compressed.
  • The mains cable must be checked regularly and only replaced by a qualified person.

• Assemble the cable clamp, be aware that the ellipse hole on cable clamp must match the ellipse hole on. Fix the top plate,
