Clean the combiset
^Before using for the first time, clean
the appliance with a damp cloth and
dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use liquid dish soap to clean
the combiset, this may cause
permanent blue discolorations.
Heat the appliance
When the combiset is first connected to
the power supply and after a power
failure, all indicators in the display will
light up for approx. 1 second. The
combiset can be used as normal once
the indicators go out.
Metal components of the appliance
have a protective coating which may
give off a slight odor the first time
the appliance is heated.
The smell will dissipate after a short
time and does not indicate a faulty
connection or appliance defect.
Before using for the first time
10

How it works
An induction coil is located under the
burner. When the burner is switched
on, this coil creates a magnetic field
which impacts directly on the base of
the pan and heats it up. The burner
itself is heated indirectly by the heat
given off by the pan.
Induction burners only work when a
magnetic based pan is placed on it
(see "Cookware").
Induction automatically recognizes the
size of the pan, i.e. heat is only
generated in the area covered by the
base of the pan.
The burner will not work:
– if it is switched on without a pan in
place, or if the pan is unsuitable
(non-magnetic base).
– if the diameter of the pan is too small.
– if the pan is taken off the burner
when it is turned on.
If this happens, ßwill flash in the
display.
If a suitable pan is placed on the burner
within 3 minutes, ßwill go out and you
can continue cooking as normal.
If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed
on the burner, the burner and the
combiset will switch off automatically
after 3 minutes. 0will flash alternately
with Cin the display.
To use the burner again as normal, first
turn the control knob to "0".
Be careful not to place cutlery or
other metal objects on the combiset.
When the appliance is switched on,
or when there is residual heat
present, there is the risk of metal
objects heating up quickly.
Beware of burns.
Depending on the material, other
objects left on the combiset could
also melt or catch fire.
Turn off the burner after use.
Induction
11

Noises
When using an induction burner, the
following noises can occur in the pan,
depending on what it is made of and
how it is constructed.
–Higher power settings may cause a
buzz. This will decrease or cease
altogether when the power setting is
reduced.
–If the pan base is made of layers of
different materials (e.g. a
sandwiched base), a cracking sound
may be heard.
– You may hear a clicking sound from
the electronic switches, especially on
lower settings.
The appliance has a cooling fan to help
extend the life of the electronics. When
the combiset is being used at high
levels for a long period of time, this will
come on and you will hear a whirring
sound. The fan may continue to run
after the appliance has been switched
off.
Induction
12

Cookware
Suitable pans include:
–stainless steel pans with a magnetic
base
–enameled steel pans
–cast iron pans
Unsuitable pans:
–stainless steel pans without a
magnetic base
–aluminum and copper pans
–glass, ceramic or earthenware pots
and pans
To test whether a pot or pan is suitable
for use on an induction combiset, hold
a magnet to the base of the pan. If the
magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.
Unless the pan manufacturer states
that you can do so, do not use pans
with very thin bases on this
combiset, and never heat empty
pans. This could damage the
appliance and cookware, and effect
the uniformity of the cooking.
Pan size
To make optimum use of the burner,
choose cookware that fits between the
inner and outer marking of the burner. If
the base diameter of the pan is smaller
than the inner marking, the induction
heating will not work. The burner will
behave as if it has no pan on it.

Turning the burner On/Off
^To turn the burner on, press the
control knob down and turn it
clockwise ato the desired setting.
^To turn the burner off, turn the
control knob counterclockwise bto
"0".
Do not turn the burner on without
pressing the control knob down, and
do not turn the knob past "B I" to
reach "0".
When the combiset is turned on the
On/Off indicator lights up. Once the
combiset has reached a factory set
temperature the residual heat indicator
will light.
When the combiset is turned off the
On/Off indicator will go out.
Residual heat indicator
The residual heat indicator will go out
once the combiset has cooled to a safe
temperature.
As long as the residual heat
indicator is lit do not touch or place
any heat sensitive items on the
burner. Danger of burns, and fire
hazard.

operate with extra power for 10
minutes.
Once the booster time has elapsed the
burner will automatically revert to power
level 9. The Bindicator and Iin the
display will go out.
Taking a pan off the burner while the
booster is in operation interrupts the
booster function. It will resume if a pan
is placed back on the burner within 3
minutes.
To activate the Booster
^Turn the control knob past power
level 9 to BI, then turn back to level 9.
Iappears in the display and the B

Overheating protection
The induction coils and the cooling
element of the electronics are fitted with
an overheating protection feature. This
prevents the induction coils and cooling
element from overheating.
This mechanism works in the following
ways:
–If the booster function is being used,
it will be switched off.
–The power level will be reduced.
–If an induction coil is affected, the
burner will turn off and an Hwill
appear in the display.
^Turn the control knob to "0".
Once the Hhas gone out, the combiset
can be used again as normal.
If the control knob is not turned back to
"0", Cand 0will flash in the display. To
use the burner again, first turn the
control knob to "0".
–If the cooling element is affected, the
power supply to the burner will be
reduced.
Once the cooling element has cooled
sufficiently the burner will continue
working again at the original power
level.
–If the temperature continues to rise
after the power level has been
reduced, the burner will switch off.
Cand 0will flash alternately in the
display.
^Turn the control knob to "0".
Once the burner has cooled to a safe
temperature the combiset can be used
again as normal.
The overheating protection feature may
be activated by:
