Basic adjustment of the sensors to the environment
Upon each connection to the power supply the sensors of the appliance are automatically adjusted to the environment to
ensure their proper function, all displays turn on and are fully illuminated for a few seconds.
During the adjustment procedure the sensors must be free of any objects, otherwise the adjustment procedure will be
interrupted until such objects are removed from the sensor surface. During this period the regulation process of the
cooktop is impossible.
Hotplate functions
Ceramic glass cooktop is fitted with three or four hotplates. The cooktop surface is completely flat and smooth, without
edges to accumulate dirt.
The cooktop is fitted with high power induction hotplates. Heat is generated directly at the bottom of the dish, where it is
most needed, without any losses through the ceramic glass surface.
This way the required extent of energy is considerably smaller compared to traditional heaters, which operate on
radiation principle.
Glass ceramic hotplate is not heated directly, but only by return heat transmitted by the dish. This heat figures as
“remaining heat” after the hotplate is turned off. The induction hotplate generates heat from the induction coil, installed
underneath the ceramic glass surface. The coil creates a magnetic field at the bottom of the dish (which can be
magnetized) which in turn originates whirling flows of current which then heat the hotplate.
IMPORTANT!
In case sugar or other heavily sweetened substance is spilled on the hotplate, wipe it up immediately and carefully
remove the sugar residues with a scraper while the cooking zone is still warm, otherwise the hotplate may be damaged.
Avoid cleaning the cooktop while the cooking zones are still hot, as you may damage the cooktop.

Installation - continued
Appropriate cookware for induction hotplates
Induction hotplate will function perfectly only if appropriate cookware is used.
Dish should be in the middle of the hotplate during cooking.
The appropriate cookware is the one which enables induction, for example steel, enamel or steel alloy cookware. Pots
made from steel alloy with copper or aluminium bottom, or glass pots are inappropriate.
If you use the pressure cooker (“economy pot”) keep it under close surveillance until proper pressure is obtained.
Hotplate should first operate on maximum power, then follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use the appropriate
sensor to decrease the power.
When buying cookware, check if it bears the label “allows induction”.
Magnet test
Use small magnet to test if the dish bottom is magnetic.
Only dishes where magnet sticks to the bottom are suitable for induction cooking.
Dish recognition
One of great advantages of the induction hotplate is dish recognition. Even if there are no dishes upon the hotplate, or
the dish diameter is smaller than the diameter of the relevant hotplate, there are no thermal energy losses. When the
hotplate is on, the power indicator displays letter “U”. If you place the dish over that hotplate within the following 10
minutes, the hotplate recognizes the dish and turns on to the preset power value.
At the moment you remove the dish from the hotplate, power is suspended. If you place smaller dish upon the hotplate
and it is recognized, the hotplate will only use the amount of energy required to heat the dish according to its size.
Hotplate may be damaged if:
•it is turned on and left empty, or an empty dish is placed on it;
•you use clay dishes which leave scratches on the ceramic glass surface;
•you fail to wipe the dish bottom dry prior placing it on the ceramic glass hotplate; heat induction is obstructed and
the hotplate may be damaged;
•you fail to use the appropriate dishes that can be magnetized: steel dishes, enamel or steel alloy dishes; induction
hotplate will not function otherwise.

Power regulation
Heating power of the hotplates may be set at nine different levels.
The following chart indicates illustrative use of each power setting.
Energy saving tips
When buying cookware be careful in selecting size: pot diameter usually refers to the top edge of the dish, which is often
larger than the dish bottom.
Steam-pressure pots (economic pots), which use pressure in tightly sealed interior, are especially economic, and save
both time and energy. Shorter cooking time leaves more vitamins in food.
Always leave enough water in steam-pressure pots, otherwise it may result in overheating which may damage both the
pot and the hotplate.
Always cover the cookware with lids of appropriate size.
Use such dish size to accommodate the quantity of food to be prepared. If you use excessively large pot for small
amount of food, you will consume considerably more energy.
