General information
Cooking with induction technology
When cooking with induction technology, heat is only generated
by means of magnetic power, if a pot or pan with a magnetisable
base is placed on a switched-on cooking zone. The induction
cooker heats only the base of the cooking utensils used, not
the cooking zone itself. Under the glass-ceramics surface, the
induction coil is located. If the coil is supplied with electrical
power a magnetic field develops generating whirls in the pot’s
base. This results in the heating of the base material. The induc-
tion process saves energy as heat is solely produced where it
is needed.
What cooking utensils may I use?
Induction cookers require pots, i.e., pot bases made of magnet-
isable material. Today, cooking utensils appropriate for induction
cooking usually bear a note saying ‚Suitable for induction hob’
or similar.
But principally you may use any iron-based cooking utensils; to
find out whether a pot or pan is suitable, i.e., magnetisable just
try the following:
Put the respective pot on the hob. If you hear an alarm sound
after selecting the cooking function and switching the device on,
the pot is not suitable.
NOTE:
For reasons of safety, the device automatically switches to the
standby mode after a few seconds.
Cooking utensils made of the following materials are not
suitable for induction hobs:
Clay, glass or aluminium.
Do not use the following types of pots:
Pots with bended
(convex/parabolic)
bases.
Pots with a base
diameter of less
than 12 cm.
Pots standing on
feet.
Mains supply
Connected load/wattage
The hob can take up an overall load of 2000 W. Because of this
high connected load it is recommended to use a separate con-
nection protected over a 16A safety switch.
CAUTION: OVERLOAD!
Do not use extension cables or multiple sockets as the power
consumption of this device is too high for these.
Connection
• Before inserting the mains plug into the socket check
whether the voltage which you intend to use corresponds to
that of the machine. Please see the label on the machine for
details.
• Only connect the machine to a correctly installed safety
socket, 230 V/50 Hz.
Designated use
• This device is intended to be used to prepare food in induc-
tion crockery.
• If the appliance is not used according to the instructions or
incorrectly, the manufacturer is not liable for the resulting
damage!
Initial operation
•
Standby mode:
After you have connected the device’s plug
to the mains supply, the hub is in standby mode. A signal
sounds and the indicator lamp on the ON/STANDBY button
(5) flashes. The display shows “L” for “LOW” (low tempera-
ture).
• Put a suitable pot on the cooking zone.
• Press the ON/STANDBY button (5) to start cooking. The
indicator lamp on the ON/STANDBY button (5) will be on
continuously.
Choose power output of the hot plate
• Press the
-/+
buttons (2/4) repeatedly to select a power level
of between 1 and 9.
NOTE:
•
The hot plate always starts off on level P
(OWER)

You can use the TIMER button to limit the cooking time.
• Switch on the unit and select a power level of your choice.
• Then press the TIMER (1) button. The indicator lamp on the
TIMER button (1) will be on continuously.
• Set a switch-off time between 1 and 199 minutes with the
-/+
buttons.
NOTE:
• Press the
-
or
+
buttons briefly to adjust the time by one
minute.
• If you hold down the
-
or
+
buttons, the time will jump by
