OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE

Use the induction cooking zones with suitable cookware. After the power supply is turned on, all of the displays light up for a moment. When this time is over, the hob goes into standby mode and is ready for operation. The hob is controlled with electronic sensors which are operated by touching the related sensors. Each sensor activation is followed by a sound signal (buzzer).

Switching the appliance on:
Switch the hob on by pressing the ON/ OFF key All heater displays show a static “0” and the bottom right dots blink. (If no cooking zone is selected within 20 seconds, the hob will automatically turn off.)

Residual heat indicator:

The residual heat indicator indicates that the ceramic glass has a dangerous touch temperature in the circumference of the cooking zone. After switching off the cooking zone, the respective display shows an “H” until the assigned cooking zone temperature is at an uncritical level.

Safety switch-off function:

Every cooking zone will be switched off after a defined maximum operation time if the heat setting is not modified. Every change in the cooking zone puts the maximum operation time back to the initial value of the operating time limitation. The maximum operation time depends on the selected temperature level. Wait until ‘F’ disappears for all zones,turn the hob on by touching and continue to use.

Child Lock:

The child lock function can be activated after switching the control on. To activate the child lock, simultaneously operate the front increase heat setting key and the decrease heat setting key and then operate the increased heat setting key again. “L” meaning LOCKED will appear in all heater displays and the control can not be changed. (If a cooking zone is in the hot condition, “L” and “H” will be displayed in alternation.) The hob will remain in a locked condition until it gets unlocked, even if the control has been switched on and off. To deactivate the child lock, first, switch the hob on. Simultaneously operate the front increase heat setting key and the decrease heat setting key and then operate the decrease heat setting key again. “L” will disappear in the display and the hob will be switched off

Key Lock:

Key lock functionality is for blocking and setting the appliance into safe mode during operation. Touch modifications as, for example, increasing heat settings and others should not be possible. Only switching the appliance off is possible. The lock function becomes active if the Key Lock button is pressed for at least 2 seconds. This operation is acknowledged by a buzzer. After a successful operation of more than 2 seconds, the Key Lock Indicator flashes and the heater becomes locked.

• Minute minder timer (1 to 99 minutes):

The minute minder timer can be operated if the cooking zones are switched off. The timer display displays “00” with a blinking dot. Press the timer setting key to increase the time or press it to decrease the time. The adjustment range is between 0 and 99 minutes. If there is no operation in 10 seconds, the minute minder timer will be set and the blinking dot will disappear. After the timer is set, the time runs down according to the adjustment. When the time is over, a signal sounds and the timer display blinks. The sound signal will be stopped automatically after 30 seconds and/or by operating any key. The minute minder timer can be changed or switched off anytime by operating the increase timer key and/or decrease timer key. Switching off the hob by pressing at any time will also switch off the minute minder timer.

• Cooking zone timer (1 to 999 minutes):

• Cookware made of steel, enameled steel, cast iron and stainless steel (if appropriately labeled by the manufacturer) will give you the best results.
• Cookware made of enameled steel or aluminum or copper bottoms can cause a metallic residue to remain on the hob. If left, this becomes difficult to remove. Clean the hob after every use.
• Cookware is suitable for induction if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.
• The cookware must be placed centrally on the cooking zone. If it is not placed correctly, is displayed.
• When using certain pans, you may get various noises from the pans, this is due to the design of the pans and does not affect the performance or safety of the hob

Energy saving

• Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the cookware bottom up to a certain limit. However, the magnetic part of the cookware bottom must have a minimum diameter depending upon the size of the cooking zone.
• Place the cookware in the cooking zone before it is switched on. If it is switched on before putting any cookware on it, the cooking zone will not operate and the control display shows.
• Use a lid to reduce cooking time.
• When the liquid comes to a boil, reduce the temperature setting.
• Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times. · Select the proper temperature setting for the cooking applications.
