IMPORTANT NOTES AND PRECAUTIONS
386679
• The IQcook system can only be active on one cooking zone at a time. When the settings
procedure is over, the IQcook system can be selected for another cooking zone.
• When using the IQcook system, the power boost function (P) cannot be used on the
adjacent cooking zone (above, under).
•Before the start of operation with any IQ function, the system must check all parameters;
therefore, the start of cooking is slightly delayed. During this time, do not remove the pot
from the cooking zone.
• Do not use of the STOP/GO function when using the IQcook system as this will interrupt
the IQcook system. (If the STOP/GO function is used nevertheless, then reactivate the IQ
system.)
• Reactivate the IQ system when the cooking zone is cooled (»H« is lit up on the display unit).
This will lead to optimum operating results.
• If you intend to use the IQ sensor on the lid, then a magnetic metal ring must be attached
to the upper side of the lid, on which the IQ sensor is installed before use. The glue will
fully set in 24 hours. In the meantime, do not use this lid and do not wash it (see section
»Preparing the lid«).
• Make sure the surfaces of the lid and the ring onto which the IQ sensor is to be installed are
always clean.
Place the IQ sensor on the ring so that it snaps into place.
• During the cooking process, do not lift the lid (only with functions that require the IQ
sensor). If this is necessary (e.g. to stir the food), only remove the lid briefly – for no more
than approx. 10 seconds.
• Do not place the lid with the IQ sensor on another pot or pan during the cooking process.
Use the same pot or pan until the end of the cooking process.
• Do not use the IQ sensor as a lid handle and do not remove it from the lid during cooking.
• Warning! The handle of the lid can heat up during operation; thus, use a cloth or a kitchen
mitten to touch it.
• The IQ sensor is water resistant. To allow a long useful life and sleek appearance of the
sensor, remove it from the lid after cooking and store it in a safe place so that it is not
damaged.
• Clean the IQ sensor using with a soft slightly damp cloth. Keep the front side always clean.
• A battery is installed in the IQ sensor (instructions for battery replacement are provided
herein).
