CERAMIC-GLASS COOKTOP
6
Operating the cooking
hob
Induction hotplate • Ceramic glass hob is fitted with three or four hotplates.
function principle Hob surface is completely flat and smooth, without
edges to accumulate dirt.
• The hob 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 magnetic field at the bottom of the dish
(which can me 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
immediately and remove the sugar residues with a scraper although the cooking zone
is still hot, otherwise the hotplate may be damaged.
• Avoid cleaning the cooktop while the cooking zones are still hot, as you may damage
the hob.
389076
7
Appropriate cookware • Induction hotplate will function perfectly only if
for induction hotplates appropriate cookware is used.
• During cooking, cookware should be placed in the
middle of the cooking zone.
• 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
aluminum bottom, or glass pots are inappropriate.
• When using a pressure cooker, keep an eye on it until
the appropriate pressure level is reached and settled.
First, switch the cooking zone to maximum power,
then reduce the power on time in compliance with the
pressure cooker manufacturer’s instructions.
• Only use cookware with flat bottom! Concave or convex
(indented or bulging) bottom may impede the operation
of overheat protection mechanism and the cooking hob
may become too hot. This could lead to cracks in the
glass surface and melting of the pan bottom. In case of
damage resulting from the use of unsuitable cookware
or overheating of empty, dried-out pots or pans (with
nothing in them), the warranty is void.
• When buying cookware, check if it bears the label
“allows induction”.
8
Pan recognition
One of the many advantages of an induction cooking hob
is the pan, or cookware, recognition. Even if there is no
cookware on the cooking zone, or if a pan with a diameter
smaller than that of the cooking zone, is placed on it, no
heat is wasted. If the pan is much smaller than the cooking
zone, it may not be perceived / recognized by the cooking
zone. When the cooking zone is switched on, a symbol
“U” will light up on the power level display. If a piece of
cookware is placed on the cooking zone in the following
ten minutes, it will be recognized by the cooking hob and
the cooking zone will be powered up to the set cooking
level.
As soon as the pan is removed from the cooking zone,
power supply to the cooking zone is disconnected. If a
pan with a diameter smaller than that of the cooking zone
is placed on it, only the power required to heat up the pan
in use will be supplied.
Power regulation Cooking zone heat power can be set to ten different levels.
The table lists some examples of use for each level.
9
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.
389076
10
HOB CONTROL
• After connecting the glass ceramic hob to the power
mains, all symbols on the display will light up briefly. The
cooking hob is then ready for operation.
• The cooking hob is fitted with electronic sensors which
are activated by touching the designated surface areas
with your finger for at least one second.
• Each time a sensor is activated, this is confirmed by a
beep.
• Do not place any objects on the sensor area. Make sure
the sensor area is always clean.
Switching on the Touch the on/off sensor (A) and hold it for at least 1
cooking hob second.
The cooking hob is activated »0« will appear on all power
level displays (B) and decimal points (B1) will flash.
Turning hotplates on After you have switched on the hob with the on/off key
(A), you may activate the desired cooking zone within the
following 10 seconds.
• After you touch the sensor for the desired cooking zone
(C), »0« on the relevant power level display will be lit more
intensively.
• Touch the sensors »+« (E) and »–« (E) to set the power
level (1-9-P). Touching the »–« sensor first will set the power
level to 9.
Turning hotplates off • First, select the cooking zone you wish to switch off.
• Touch the »–« sensor (E) to set the power level to »0«. If
power level for all cooking zones is set to »0«, then the
hob will be switched off after 20 seconds.
389076
11
Powering off the • The cooking hob may be switched off anytime by
cooking hob touching the on/off sensor (A). All settings will be
deleted, except for the minute minder (see section
»Timer«).
Engaging the control By activating the control unit lock, you can prevent the
unit lock / child safety operation or use of the cooking zones. Thus, the control
lock unit lock also works as a child safety lock.
Remaining heat Glass ceramic hob also features remaining heat indicator
indicator »H«. Hotplates are not heated directly, but through return
heat radiating from the dish. As long as the symbol »H« is
on after the hotplate was switched off, the remaining heat
may be used for warming up food or for melting.
Even when the symbol »H« disappears, the hotplate may
still be hot. Be careful of burns!
Power Boost For rapid cooking, power boost can be activated for any
cooking zone. This will allow you to rapidly heat large
amounts of food using extra power.
389076
12
Note: The front left cooking zone features the super power
function. In a cooking zone with this function, extra power is
activated for five minutes; then, the zone switches to level 9.
Example:
Set the cooking zone to level 6 and leave it to operate for
a while. If the cooking zone setting is not changed, the
security mechanism will switch off the zone after one and
a half hour.
Overheating safety • The hob is fitted with a cooling fan which cools the
device electronic components during cooking. The fan may
operate for a while even after the end of the cooking
389076
process.
13
• Induction cooking hob is also fitted with a built-
in overheating protection device that protects the
electronic parts from damage. The protection device
operates at several levels. When the cooking zone
temperature increases considerably, the cooking power
is reduced automatically. If this is not enough, the power
of currently heated cooking zones is reduced further
or shut off entirely. In this case, »E2« will be indicated
on the display. When the hob has cooled down, entire
cooking hob power is again available.
14
• Value can be set from 01 to 99 minutes. Shut-off timer
can be set for each cooking zone.
• To check the remaining time, select the corresponding
cooking zone and activate the timer function. Press the
»–« or »+« sensor (E) to change the setting. (Press the
»–« and »+« sensor (E) simultaneously and sequentially
to choose between active settings.)
Bridged cooking • Some models allow combining the two left cooking
zones (only with some zones into a single large connected cooking zone.
models) Thus, a large oval pan or a griddle can be placed on
the combined cooking field. The pan should be large
enough to cover both centres of the upper and lower
cooking zone.
• Maximum pan size: 40 cm by 25 cm. We recommend
using a baking dish or pan with a heavy bottom. During
cooking, the dish or pan will heat up. Be careful to
prevent burns.
• When placing the baking dish on the hob, make sure it
does not cover the control module.
15
Safety functions and The cooking hob is fitted with overheating protection
error display sensors. If the temperature rises too high, individual
cooking zones or even the entire cooking hob can be
temporarily switched off automatically.
• Flashing E/2
- The cooking zone has overheated. Wait until it cools
down.
• E/3 flashes
- Unsuitable cookware that lacks ferromagnetic
properties. Use another pot or pan.
16
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF CERAMIC-
GLASS HOB
Cleaning After each use of the glass-ceramic hob, wait for it to
cool down and clean it; otherwise, even the smallest food
residue will be burnt onto the hot surface next time you
use the appliance. For regular cleaning and maintenance
of the glass-ceramic surface, use special conditioning
agents which form a protective layer on the surface,
shielding it from dirt. Before each use, wipe any dust or
other particles from the hob surface and pan bottom as
these could scratch the surface (Figure 1).
Careful: steel wool, abrasive sponges, and abrasive
Figure 1 detergents can scratch the hob surface. Glass ceramic
surface can also be damaged by aggressive sprays and
inappropriate or insufficiently shaken (mixed) liquid
cleaning agents (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
Signage may be worn when using aggressive or abrasive
cleaners or cookware with damaged bottom (figure 2).
Light stains can be removed by a damp soft cloth; then,
wipe the surface dry (Figure 3).
Water stains can be removed using a mild solution of
Figure 2
vinegar; however, do not use this solution to clean the frame
(only with some models, as it may become dull. Do not use
aggressive sprays or decalcification agents (Figure 3).
Heavier stains can be removed using special agents and
utensils for cleaning the glass-ceramic hobs. When using
these products, follow the instructions provided by their
respective manufacturers.
Make sure any residues of cleaning agents are thoroughly
removed, as they could damage the glass-ceramic hob
Figure 3
when the cooking zones heat up (Figure 3).
Remove stubborn and burnt residues with a scraper (figure 4).
Be careful when handling the scraper to prevent injury.
17
Sugar and sugar-laden food may permanently damage the
glass-ceramic surface (Figure 5); therefore, they should
be removed from the glass-ceramic surface as soon as
possible, although the cooking zone may still be hot
(Figure 4). Any change in the color of the glass-ceramic
surface does not affect its operation or the stability of
the surface. Such discolorations are mostly a result of
burnt food residues or use of cookware made of materials
Figure 5
such as aluminum or copper; these stains are difficult to
remove.
Warning: All damage described above predominantly
relates to the aesthetics, i.e. appearance of the appliance
and do not affect its functionality directly. Such errors
cannot be the subject of a warranty claim.
