1.2 Safety instructions
Electrical Current
•Too high a mains voltage or incorrect installation may cause electric shock.
•The appliance may be connected only if data on the rating plate correspond with
the mains voltage.
•To avoid short-circuit, the appliance should be kept dry.
•If there are malfunctions during operation, disconnect the appliance from the
power supply.
•Do not touch the appliance’s plug with wet hands.
•Never take hold of the appliance if it has fallen into water. Immediately
disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
•Any repairs or housing opening may be carried out by professionals and
relevant workshops only.
•Do not transport the appliance, holding it by the power cord.
•Do not allow the power cord to come into contact with heat sources or sharp
edges.
•Do not bend, pinch nor knot the power cord.

Safety
4 / 20 105865
EN
•Always completely unwind the power cord.
•Never place the appliance or other objects on the power cord.
•Always take hold of the plug to disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
•Check the power cord regularly for damage. Do not use the appliance if the
power cord is damaged. If this cable is damaged, it must be replaced by
customer service or a qualified electrician in order to avoid dangers.
Flammable Materials
•Never subject the appliance to contact with high temperature sources, e.g.:
oven, furnace, open flame, heat generating devices, etc.
•To avoid fire hazard, clean the appliance regularly.
•Do not cover the appliance with, e.g., aluminium foil or cloths.
•Use the appliance only with materials designated to this end and with correct
temperature settings. Materials, groceries and left-overs remaining in the
appliance may catch fire.
•Never use the appliance near flammable or inflammable materials, e.g.: petrol,
spirit, alcohol, etc. High temperature triggers evaporation of these materials,
and, as a result of contact with sources of ignition, an explosion may occur.
•In case of fire, disconnect the appliance from the power supply before
attempting suitable fire-extinguishing actions.
•Never attempt to extinguish fire with water if the appliance is connected to the
power supply. Following extinction of fire, ensure sufficient fresh air inflow.
Electromagnetic Fields
•Magnetized items, e.g. credit cards, data storage devices or calculators, may
not be placed in an immediate vicinity of the switched on appliance. Magnetic
field might damage them.
•Do not open the bottom cover!
•Cookware should always be placed in the middle of the cooking area, so that
pot bottom covered the electromagnetic field to the maximum extent.
•Scientific researches proved that induction cookers pose no threat.
Nevertheless, people with cardiac pacemaker should keep a distance of at least
60 cm from the working appliance.
Safety of Induction Plate Operation
•During operation, the heating area is getting very hot.
Information: Induction cooker does not generate heat in the process of
cooking. Nevertheless, the temperature of cookware heats up the heating

area and the surface remains hot after use. Do not touch any hot surfaces
of the appliance.
•You may transport and clean the appliance after it cools down entirely.
•It is prohibited to sprinkle hot surfaces with cold water or flammable liquids.
•Do not put metal kitchen utensils, lids, knifes nor any other metal objects on the
heating area. These objects might heat up after switching the appliance on.
•Remember that wearable items, e.g. rings, watches etc., may heat up when they
are close to the cooker’s plate.
•In order to avoid overheating, do not place any aluminium foil or metal plates on
the heating surface of the appliance.
•Do not heat up sealed containers, e.g. canned food, on the heating area of the
induction cooker. Resulting overpressure may cause explosion (rupture) of a
container or a can. The canned food is best to open it, put it in a pot filled with
water and place the pot on a heating area in order to heat it up.
•The heating area is made of a temperature-resistant glass. In case of damage,
even if it is only a small fracture, the device should be immediately disconnected
from the power supply and you should contact the service company.

•Unpack the appliance, remove all external and internal packaging elements and
shipment safeguards.
CAUTION!
Choking hazard!
Prevent children from accessing package materials, for instance: plastic
bags and EPS.
•If the appliance is covered with a protective film, remove it. Remove the film
slowly, so no glue residues are left. Remove any glue residues with the use of a
suitable solvent.
•Be careful not to damage the rating plate and warning labels fixed on the
appliance.
•Never place the appliance in humid or wet environment.
•Place the appliance in a way making the connections easily accessible, so that
they may be quickly disconnected if such a need arises.
•The appliance should be placed on surfaces that are:
–even, with sufficient bearing capacity, resistant to water, dry and resistant
to high temperatures;
–sufficiently large, and thus enabling usage of the appliance with no
problems;
–easily accessible;
–well ventilated.
•Do not place the appliance in the vicinity of devices or objects that are sensitive
to magnetic fields (e.g. radio, television, etc.).

5.2 Operation
Method of operation of heating plates
In induction cookers the electric voltage is applied to a conductive coil under the
glass. This generates magnetic field, which being a physical effect, heats the
bottom of a cookware directly.
This translates to savings of time and energy, as —contradictory to traditional
heating areas —there is no heating up of a heater and then of the glass heating
plate.
Another advantage of the technical features described above is the very short
cooking time.
Additionally, inflow of heat changes instantly with every change of settings and it
may be controlled precisely. The induction heating plate reacts to changes in
settings as fast a gas cooker, for the energy is delivered immediately to a pot,
without the need to prior heating up of other materials.
The induction technology combines the speed of reaction with a basic benefit of the
current, making it possible to precisely control heat inflow.

Cookware Pieces
The induction appliance is equipped with a cookware detection mechanism.
To check if a cookware piece is suitable for induction, perform the following test:
–place a cookware piece on the hob of the appliance,
–use the control unit to select level 4,
–if the display does not blink, the cookware piece is compatible;
–if the display blinks, the cookware piece is not recognised and thus it
cannot be used.
The compatibility of cookware pieces can also be checked with a magnet: if a
magnet sticks to the bottom of a cookware piece, such cookware piece is suitable
for induction appliances.
Suitable Cookware:
•Iron cookware
•Enamelled iron cookware
•Steel or enamelled cast iron pots/pans
•Cast iron pots/pans
•Stainless steel cookware
•Aluminium cookware with special bottom
Unsuitable Cookware:
•Glass, ceramic or clay cookware
•Aluminium cookware without special bottom
•Bronze or copper cookware
•Cookware with feet
•Containers with bulged bottoms
ATTENTION!
Do not place plastic containers onto a hot hob of the appliance.
To obtain better results, use only cookware/containers with a diameter of 200–
380 mm.

6.1 Safety Instructions for Cleaning
•Before cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
•Leave the appliance to cool down completely.
•Make sure water does not enter the appliance. Do not immerse the appliance in
water or other liquids during cleaning. Do not clean the appliance with a
pressurized water jet.

cleaning agents. They may damage the surface.

Cleaning
18 / 20 105865
EN
6.2 Cleaning
1. Clean the appliance daily; more often should it be needed.
2. Clean the lightly soiled glass hob, housing and control panel with a soft, damp
cloth and a mild, non-scouring, cleaning agent. Wipe with a clean cloth.
3. For burnt stains, proceed as follows:
–moisten the soiled area with warm water,
–remove the soiling with a special glass scraper,
–wipe the place with the scrubbing side of a sponge for cleaning sensitive
surfaces,
–finally, wipe the surface dry with a soft cloth.
4. For limescale stains, apply warmed wine vinegar or commercially available
descaling agent to the area, wait for it to work, and then wipe off with a soft,
damp cloth.
5. For deposits caused by spilled sugar, melted plastic or aluminium, apply a
special glass/ceramic glass cleaner (with silicone if possible) to the surface, then
wipe the surface.
6. After cleaning, dry cleaned surfaces thoroughly with a soft cloth.
7. Ventilation openings at the bottom of the appliance should not be obstructed
with dirt nor dust. Clean them regularly with a brush or vacuum cleaner.
