• The cookware must be magnetic. Before switching on the appliance always place the magnetic cookware
centered onto the cooking field.
Special notes for your safety:
• According to today’s standards of knowledge, persons with pacemakers are not at risk. In case of
misuse or unfavorable situation, we cannot eliminate remaining risks. For persons with pacemakers, we
recommend consulting a doctor before using any induction cooking plates. Persons with a pacemaker
should keep a minimum distance of 60 cm to the device while in operation.
•To avoid any risks, do not place very big magnetic objects (i.e. griddles) onto the cooking zone of the glass
field. Do not place other magnetic objects other than cookware (i.e. credit cards, TV, radio, cassettes) near
or on the glass surface of the induction cooking plate when it is in operation.
•Place the appliance on a stable, flat, and dry large surface to eliminate the risk of falling down. Do not place
the appliance on flammable surfaces (i.e. tablecloth). Do not place the appliance near or onto hot surfaces
or other strong heating devices (i.e. cookers, open fire, heater, etc.).
•It is recommended not to put metallic utensils (i.e. knives, pot or pan covers etc.) on the cooking plate in
case of switching on the appliance, they might get hot.
•Do not insert any objects (i.e. wires, or tools) into the ventilation slots.
Attention! This may cause electrical shock.
• Do not touch the hot surface of the glass field. Please note: Even though the induction cooking plate does
not heat up during cooking, the temperature of the heated cookware heats up the cooking plate.
The system of induction cooking
The induction cooking plate and the cookware placed on it build up one unit by reason of electro- magnetism.
The emerging energy will change into heat directly in the bottom of the cookware.
This avoids heat loss which is caused by constant heating and permanent keeping warm on standard cooking
plates. It is not necessary to preheat the induction cooking plate. When connected it is in “Standby Mode”,
without any power consumption.
