3 Instructions on Safe-handling of the Appliance
3.1 General Instructions
The equipment is a technical appliance that is only intended for commercial use.
These appliances are used for the commercial preparation of meals in the containers provided for this
purpose such as pots and pans.
The appliances are neither suitable for spatial heating nor for the warming up of other materials –
except those normally used in cooking.
Electric installations must only be carried out by registered installation companies in accordance with
the specific national and local regulations. The installation companies are responsible for correctly
interpreting all regulations and performing the installation in compliance with the safety instructions.
The warning signs and type plates must be strictly observed. Check and ensure that the mains voltage
corresponds to the voltage indicated for the appliance (stated on the type plate).
If the appliance is set up in the immediate vicinity of a wall, partition wall, kitchen furniture,
decorative coverings, etc., it is recommended that these are made of non-flammable materials;
otherwise they must be covered with suitable non-flammable heat insulating materials and
relevant fire prevention regulations must be carefully observed!
Ventilation of the work rooms complying with the regulations is to be ensured.
The employers' liability insurance association (BG) rules “Working in Commercial Kitchens” of the
“Food Processing Industry” expert committee of the BG Central Office (BGR 111) are to be observed
when setting up and operating equipment.
Technical modifications to the appliance by unauthorised persons without written permission from the
manufacturer completely nullify any claims under the guarantee and invalidate any claims in respect of
product liability.
These instructions are to be made known to the members of staff affected in the context of an
operating directive.
3.2 Safety instructions for operating, cleaning and repair
Overheated fats and oils can be self-igniting. The preparation of food using fats and oils should not be
left unsupervised. Never try to extinguish fat or oil using water! Put on the lid, switch off the appliance
and remove the pot carefully from the cooking zone.
Several parts, such as the top plate of the induction range appliance, get very hot due to the high
temperatures needed for cooking. Protect yourself by only touching the control elements provided and
by wearing clothing that prevents direct skin contact.
The system may only be operated and cleaned by personnel who have received appropriate
instructions. Maintenance and repair may only be performed by qualified specialists who have received
training.
Do not place any metal objects (closed cans, cutlery, jewellery, watches etc.) on the cooking surface.
These can get very hot.
Do not place any paper, cardboard, cloth or similar materials between the cooking utensils and the
cooking surface. These materials can easily catch fire due to the hot pan.
Only use pots and pans suitable for induction appliances; the bottom of the utensil must be
magnetic. The minimum diameter of the pot must be 12 cm. Empty pots and pans should only be
preheated for a short time. These get hot immediately the cooking zone is switched on and can lead
to melting of the bottom. If you are using two pots at the same time, make sure these do not touch
each other.
Always place handles so that they lie outside the cooking areas. These can get very hot. Always
switch off cooking zones that are not being used. Power is automatically fed to the switched-on
cooking zone as soon as metal parts come in contact with the cooking surface.

Persons with pacemakers or metal implants should consult their doctor to make sure that these items
cannot malfunction or heat up.
While the appliance is in operation, the user may not wear any objects such as rings or watches that
could heat up if they came into close contact with the cooking surface.
The manufacturer cannot be made liable for damage due to inexpert connection and handling. Claims
under the guarantee in such cases are null and void.
Credit cards, telephone cards and similar objects can be made inoperable if they come into close
contact with the cooking zones.
The air slits under the control panel and in the intermediate floor may not be altered in cross section.
Do not hang any cloths over the panel. This could interfere with the internal cooling air system. The
appliance has an inlet air filter. Nevertheless, you must ensure that the incoming air contains no
grease from other appliances that could be drawn into the induction appliance (e.g. from nearby deep
fat fryers and grilling plates). The temperature of the air being drawn in must be below +35°C.
Should a crack form in the glass ceramic surface, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains
supply immediately and the competent repair service informed.
Before repair work is started, the appliance must be disconnected on all poles from the power (using
isolating equipment in the customer's supply, e.g. contact breakers).
3.3 Dangers resulting from non-observance of the safety instructions
Non-observance of the safety instructions can result in dangers to people, the surroundings and the
induction appliance itself. Any claims for damages are excluded in the event of non-observance of the
safety instructions. Non-observance of the safety instructions could result in the following specific risks
(examples):
- danger to people due to electrical factors
- danger to people due to overheated pans
- danger to people due to overheated surfaces (ceramic hob)
3.4 Safe use
The safety instructions in these operating instructions, existing national regulations for accident
prevention when using electrical systems and all company-specific work, operating and safety
instructions must be observed.
3.5 Safety instructions for operating personnel
Attention! Only place pots and pans onto the appliance if their full surface area is located on the
cooking zone. Ignoring this safety instruction will cause damage to the pots and the appliance.
Ramifications if ignored: Pots will become welded together and joint materials will burn due to the
heat from the pans. This will destroy the seals and allow moisture and grease to penetrate into the
appliance causing it to malfunction.
•If the ceramic glass is cracked or broken, the induction appliance must be switched off and
disconnected from the electricity supply. Do not touch any parts inside the induction appliance.
•The ceramic hob is heated by the heat of the pan. To avoid injuries (burns), do not touch the ceramic
hob.
•In order to avoid overheating an empty pan, never heat a pan unsupervised or without food.
•Turn off the cooking zone if you remove the pan for a long period of time. This will prevent the
heating process automatically restarting as soon as a pan is placed onto the cooking zone again.
Unintentional heating is thus prevented, i.e. if a person wants to use the induction appliance then
they have to start the heating process by switching on the appliance and turning the control knob
to “ON”.
•Do not use the cooking surface for storage purposes!
•Do not place paper, cardboard, textiles, etc. between the pan and the ceramic hob because these
items could catch fire.
•Since metal objects heat up very quickly when they come into contact with an operational cooking
zone, never place objects other than pans onto the induction appliance (closed cans, aluminium foil,
cutlery, jewellery, watches, etc.).
•People with pacemakers should consult their doctor to find out whether it is safe for them to be near
induction appliances.
•Do not place credit cards, phone cards, cassettes, or other objects sensitive to magnets on the
ceramic hob.
•Only use pots and pans of the recommended type and size.
•The induction appliance has an internal air cooling system. Avoid blocking the air inlets and outlets
with objects (e.g. textiles). This would cause the appliance to overheat and thus switch off.
•Prevent liquids from penetrating into the appliance and avoid water or food spilling over the edge of
the pan. Do not use a water jet to clean the appliance.

3.6 Instructions for transport
Transport ascobloc appliances only in the original packaging. This avoids unnecessary damage and
expense.
Check the appliance for damage.
Do not lift or shift the appliance by holding the top plate, the bottom edges at the sides of the appliance
or by the door handles. The bottom edges at the front and rear of the appliance are provided for this
purpose.
3.7 Instructions on installation
The appliance is wired up in the factory as far as the connector. All connection work must be carried
out by an authorised specialist company. Allow the technical experts to look at these documents.
The legally acknowledged regulations (Germany VDE, Austria ÖVE, Switzerland SEV etc.) and the
connection requirements of the local electricity utility are to be observed.
Before beginning the installation work, it should be checked that the mains voltage, mains type and the
current rating of the circuit breaker match the values given on the type plates. An isolating device in
the customer's scope of supply that is effective on all poles must be provided, e.g. contact breakers
with at least 3 mm contact gaps, so that the appliance is disconnected from the power supply during
repair and installation work. Connection to an equipotential bonding system is available. Make the
connections in accordance with the local regulations.
Mains cables are not to be sharply bent, crushed or damaged by sharp edges. Mains cabling is to be
so laid that contact with hot parts cannot occur. The power supply cable must be led through the
appliance fully sheathed, from the screwed connection to the entry of the terminal box. The appliance
is intended for permanent connection; connection via plug and socket is not permitted.

5.2 Functional test
Use pans suitable for induction cooking with a minimum base diameter of 12 cm. If carrying out a
functional test on appliances with a main switch, firstly turn on the switch and then proceed as follows.
•Place the pan in the centre of the cooking zone and add a little water.
•For appliances with LED lamps: Turn the rotary power knob to ON (a position between Min and
Max). The green LED control lamp flashes (cooking setting 10% - 30%) or is permanently lit (cooking
setting 30% - 100%) and the water heats up.
•For appliances with a digital display (1-9): Turn the rotary power knob to ON (a position between
Min and Max). The display indicates the selected power level between (1-9).
•For appliances with LED lamps: Remove the pan from the cooking zone – the control lamp should
flash (searching for pan).
•Place the pan back onto the cooking zone – the control lamp is permanently lit again and the heating
process resumes.
•Turn the rotary power knob to the 0 position. The heating process is stopped and the control lamp
goes out.
•A lit control lamp indicates that energy is being transferred to the pan.
•For appliances with a digital display (1-9): Remove the pan from the cooking zone – the display will
show the (searching for pan) symbol.
•Place the pan back onto the cooking zone – the digital display will show the selected power level
again and the heating process resumes.
•Turn the rotary power knob to the 0 position. The heating process is stopped and the display
switches off.
•A number on the display indicates that energy is being transferred to the pan.
•If the operating display and/or the LED or digital display remains off or only flashes for a short period
of time, check the following:
•Is the induction appliance connection to the mains electricity or has the main switch been turned on?
•Is the rotary power knob set to the ON position?
•Are you using a pan suitable for induction cooking (test with a magnet) with a base diameter of
at least 12 cm?
•Is the pan positioned in the centre of the cooking zone?
•Use a magnet to check whether the pan is made of a suitable material. The magnet should stick
lightly to the base of the pan. If this is not the case, your pan is unsuitable for an induction appliance.
Select a pan that is recommended for use with induction appliances. If the induction appliance
still doesn’t work after the functional test, refer to the section Fault detection / Troubleshooting.
5.3 Operation
5.3.1 Cooking process
The operating lamps or the digital display (1-9) show whether energy is being transferred to the pan.
The power level can be selected by turning the rotary power knob. The inductive power transferred to the
pan is dependent on the position of the potentiometer.
MIN position > minimum power
MAX position > maximum power
Due to the following circumstances, the cook must proceed more carefully than when cooking with
standard cooking systems. If the cooking level is changed using the rotary power knob, the food will
respond immediately. Empty pans or pots heat up very quickly. NEVER place empty pans onto the
ceramic hob. Firstly add grease or liquid to the pan and then start cooking. Use the rotary power knob to
precisely set the corresponding power level for the desired cooking method. The pan should always be
placed in the centre of the cooking zone (except on appliances with a surface coil), otherwise the bottom
of the pan will be heated unevenly. If heating up oil or grease, continuously check the pan to prevent
overheating or burning of the oil or grease.
Attention
Heat is transferred to the cooking zone
by the hot pan. In order to avoid
injuries, do not touch the cooking zone.

Convenience
The induction appliance only transfers energy as long as a pan is located in the cooking zone. This is
independent of the position of the rotary power knob. If you remove a pan from the cooking zone, the
energy transfer to the pan is stopped immediately. If you place the pan back in the cooking zone, the
energy level you selected previously is again transferred to the pan. The cooking process is stopped
by switching off the rotary power knob. However, the appliance remains ready to use (standby). It is
only when the mains plug has been disconnected (or the main switch has been turned off) that the
appliance has no power.

3 2 (first digit of software version)
4 1 (second digit of software version)
5 9 (third digit of software version)
5.3.3 Normal operation
The decimal point flashes every 2 seconds in standby (potentiometer setting = off). The pot is firstly
searched for when the potentiometer setting = on: U and a decimal point on the display indicate when
power is being provided. (After 1 minute energy saving mode: search pulse every 5 seconds.)
If a pot is detected, the display switches to level 1 - 9.
Meaning of the decimal point:
ON = operation
1 second pulse = power limited due to excessive heat sink temperature
½ second pulse = power limited due to excessive coil/pan temperature
¼ second pulse = power limited
1/10 second pulse = power limited due to suboptimal pan material
5.4 Improper operation
The proper functionality of the induction appliance can only be guaranteed if it is used correctly.
The appliance must always be operated within the limits stated in the technical data.
5.5 Modification / use of spare parts
Contact the manufacturer if you intend to make any modifications to the appliance. For safety reasons,
only use original spare parts and accessories that have been approved by the manufacturer.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for costs resulting from the use of non-original components.
5.6 Pan detection
Pans with a diameter of less than 12 cm (base) are not detected. The LED operating lamp is lit during
operation or the digital display shows the selected power level (1-9). When operating the appliance
without a pan or with a pan made out of an unsuitable material, no heat is generated, the control lamp
flashes only briefly or the display does not indicate a pan - error messages.
5.7 Monitoring the cooking zone
The cooking zone is monitored by a temperature sensor located beneath the ceramic hob (centre of
the cooking zone). It can detect if pans located in the centre of the cooking zone are overheating
(hot oil, empty pans). The supply of heat is stopped. The appliance does not supply heat to the pan
again until the temperature has returned to a normal value.
Attention!
Only the cooking appliance is protected from overheating, not the pan. An overheated pan is
only detected when the ceramic hob – due to the overheating – reaches the switch-off
temperature (260°C).
Attention!
Only place pots and pans onto the appliance if their full surface area is located on the
cooking zone. Ignoring this safety instruction will cause damage to the pots and the appliance.
Ramifications if ignored: Pots will become welded together and joint materials will burn due to the
heat from the pans. This will destroy the seals and allow moisture and grease to penetrate into the
appliance causing it to malfunction.

5.8 Generation of noise
The cooling fans are audible, but switch off again from time to time.
5.9 Decommissioning
When the induction appliance is not in use, ensure that the main switch or the rotary power knob are
not turned on inadvertently. If you do not intend to use the induction appliance for a longer period of
time (several days), disconnect the mains plug from the socket or turn off the main switch. Ensure that
no liquids can penetrate into the induction appliance and do not use liquids to clean the appliance.
5.10 Cleaning
Please observe the hygiene regulations in your company! The instructions in this document are not a
substitute for such regulations (observe the tips for handling stainless steel appliances in commercial
kitchens!).
Attention! Appliances may not be cleaned using water under pressure (spraying with water hose or
steam jet or pressure washer). The appliance is to be shut off if the surroundings are to be cleaned
using such means!
The appliance must be shut off and adequately cooled down before cleaning. Appliance parts or
accessories that come in contact with foodstuffs must be cleaned thoroughly with cleaning agents and
then rinsed off with tap water. Flammable liquids are not to be used for cleaning.
To avoid interruptions in operation and for hygiene reasons, the appliance should be cleaned daily
