PREPARATION
FIRST CLEANING OF THE
APPLIANCE
• Remove all packaging materials.
• Wipe the surfaces of the appliance with
a damp cloth or sponge and dry with a
cloth.
iThe surface might get damaged by
some detergents or cleaning materials.
iDo not use aggressive detergents,
cleaning powders/creams or any sharp
objects during cleaning.

10
VENTILATION
The cooling system is fully automatic.
The cooling fan starts with a low speed
when the calories brought out by the
electronic system reach a certain level.
The ventilation starts his high speed
when the hob is intensively used. The
cooling fan reduces his speed and stops
automatically when the electronic circuit
is cooled enough.
GENERAL WARNINGS
• Do not let any objects to fall on the hob.
Even small objects such as saltshakers
may damage the hob. Do not use
cracked hobs. Water may seep through
these cracks and cause a short circuit. If
the surface is damaged in any way (e.g.
visible cracks), turn off the fuse first,
then call the authorized service to unplug
the product to reduce the risk of electric
shock.
• Do not use unbalanced and easily tilting
pots/pans on the hob.
• Do not heat the pots/pans and pots
empty. The pots and the appliance may
be damaged.
• Always turn off the hob's burners after
each use.
• You shall damage the appliance if you
operate the hobs without any pot or
pots/pans. Always turn off the hobs after
each operation.
• After each use the cooking surface will
be hot, so do not put the plastic pots/
pans on the cooking surface. Clean such
material on the surface immediately.
• Sudden temperature changes on the
glass cooking surface may cause
damage, be careful not to spill cold
liquids during cooking.
• Put a sufficient amount of food in pots
and pans. Thus, you can prevent food
from pouring forth out of the pots/pans
and will not need to clean unnecessarily.
• Do not place the covers of pots and pans
on burners/zones.
• Place the pots by centering them on the
burners/zones. If you wish to place a pot
on a different burner/zone, do not slide it
towards the desired burner; rather, lift it
first and then put it on the other burner.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF THE
INDUCTION HOB
Induction hob is like an open circuit. The
circuit completes when a cooking pots/
pans suitable for induction cooking is
placed on it and an electronic system
below the glass surface generates a
magnetic field. The metal base of the
pots/pans is heated by taking energy from
this magnetic field. Thus, the heat is not
generated on the surface of the hob, but
directly on the pots/pans above it. Glass
surface is heated with the heat of the
cooking pots/pans.
GENERAL INFORMATION OF COOKTOP USAGE

11
ADVANTAGES OF COOKING
WITH INDUCTION
Induction hobs offer some advantages
as the heat is transferred directly to the
cooking pots/pans.
•
Foods that overflow during cooking do
not burn rapidly as the glass cooking
surface is not heated directly. It is
cleaned more easily.
•
Cooking shall be faster as the heat is
generated directly on the cooking pots/
pans. Thus, it saves time and energy with
respect to other hob types.
•
As the heat is given directly to the
cooking pots/pans, there is no heat loss,
and it provides a more efficient cooking.
•
The fact that the heat transfer stops and
the cooking surface is not heated directly
when the cooking pots/pans is removed
from the cooking surface provides a
safer use against possible accidents
while cooking.
FOR A SAFE OPERATION:
•
Do not select high heating levels when
using non-sticking cooking pots/pans
coated with little amount of oil or used
without oil (teflon type).
•
Do not use glass cooking surface as a
surface where you can place something
on it or as a cutting surface.
•
Do not place metal objects such as
cutlery or pot lids on your hob as they
may get hot.
•
Never use aluminium foil for cooking.
Never place food wrapped in aluminium
foil on the induction zone.
•
Keep magnetic objects such as credit
cards or tapes away from the hob while
it is operating.
•
If there is an oven under your hob and it
is being operated, the sensors on the hob
may reduce the cooking level or turn off
the hob.
•
Your hob has an automatic shut-off
system. Detailed information about
this system is provided in the following
sections. However, if you use thin based
pots for your cooking, these pots shall
heat up very quickly and the bottom
of the pan may melt and damage the
cooking surface and the appliance
before the automatic shut-off system is
activated.
COOKING POTS/PANS
You shall use ferromagnetic, quality
cooking pots/pans which bear a label or
warning that it is compatible for induction
cooking only with your induction hob.
Generally, the higher the iron content,
the better the cooking pots/pans shall
perform. The base diameter of the
cooking pots/pans shall match the
induction zone. Suggested dimensions are
listed below.
Suitable pots/pans:
•
Cast iron pots/pans
•
Enamelled steel pots/pans
•
Steel and stainless steel pots/pans
(with label or warning indicating that it is
induction compatible)
GENERAL INFORMATION OF COOKTOP USAGE

12
Unsuitable pots/pans:
• Aluminium pots/pans
•
Copper pots/pans
•
Glass pots/pans
•
Pottery
•
Ceramic and porcelain
Recommendations:
•
Use flat bottomed cooking pots/pans
only. Do not use pots/pans with convex
or concave bases.
•
Use cooking pots/pans with thick,
processed bases only. If you use thin
based pots, these pots shall heat up very
quickly and the bottom of the pan may
melt and damage the cooking surface
and the appliance before the automatic
shut-off system is activated. Sharp
edges may cause scratches on the
surface.
•
The bases of some cooking pots/
pans have a smaller ferromagnetic
field than its true diameter. Only this
area is heated by the hob. Therefore,
the heat is not evenly distributed and
the cooking performance is decreased.
Moreover, such cooking pots/pans
may not be detected by large induction
hobs. Thus, the cooking hob shall be
selected according to the size of the
ferromagnetic field.
•
Some cooking pots/pans have a base
that contains non-ferromagnetic
materials such as aluminium. These
types of cooking pots/pans may not heat
adequately or may not be detected by
the induction hob at all. In some cases, a
bad pots/pans warning may appear.
Equal distribution of the cookware
on the right and left and center hobs
for the selection of hobs affects the
cooking performance positively while
cooking multiple meals on the induction
hobs.
Pan detection
The pan detection ensures a perfect
safety. The induction doesn’t work:
•
If there is no pan on the heating zone
or if this pan is not adapted to the
induction. In this case it is impossible
to increase the power and the display
shows [ U ]. This symbol disappears
when a pan is put on the heating zone.
•
If the pan is removed from the heating
zone the operation is stopped. The
display shows [ U ]. The symbol [ U ]
disappears when the pan is put back to
the heating zone. The cooking continues
with the power level set before.
After use, switch the heat element off:
don’t let the pan detection [ U ] active.

The detection of cooking pots/pans by the
induction hobs depend on the diameter
and material of the ferromagnetic in
the base of the pots/pans. To ensure
detection of the cooking pots/pans and
achieve an efficient cooking, the cooking
pots/pans shall be selected as per the size
of your hob. The cooking pots/pans sizes
recommended for hob sizes are given
above.
Boiling behavior may vary depending
on the pot types, size of the pot and
size of the cooking zone. For a more
homogenous boiling behavior, a one step
larger cooking zone might be used. To
use a larger cooking zone does not cause
wasting of energy at induction hobs,
because the heat is only created in the
relevant pot area.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT COOKING
This section describes tips on preparing
and cooking your food.
• Never fill the pan with oil more than
one third of it. Do not leave the hob
unattended when heating oil. Overheated
oils bring risk of fire. Never attempt to
extinguish a possible fire with water!
When oil catches fire, cover it with a
fire blanket or damp cloth. Turn off the
hob if it is safe to do so and call the fire
department.
• Before frying foods, always remove their
excess water and put them inside the
heated oil slowly. Make sure that frozen
foods are defrosted before frying.
• When heating oil, make sure that the pot
you use is dry and keep its lid open.
• The cooking temperature and time values
given for foods may vary depending on the
recipe and amount.
