2.2. CHOICE OF POTS
The induction cooking system is equipped with a pot
recognition system. If the pot is removed from a turned on
cooking zone, the latter switches off automatically. When the
pot is put back on the zone, the zone switches on again.
•
It is advisable to use pots that are specially designed for
induction, and multilayer-type pots in particular.
•
Use pots with bottoms in: iron, iron plate, enamelled iron,
special multilayer metals.
•
Do not use pots in layered metal with aluminium body
and open rim.
•
This heating system does not work with unsuitable
materials; these are: chrome-nickel s/steel, aluminium,
copper, brass, glass, porcelain.
•
Pots of less than approx.
12 cm
in diameter are not
recognised by the system; heating remains off.
•
It is also advisable to use pots with MAXIMUM diameter
of
28 cm
in order to obtain maximum heating efficiency.
• To avoid compromising inductor functionality,
never use
pots with bottoms that are not perfectly flat
: the tempe-
rature may not be measured correctly, thus damaging
the appliance.
OK!
2.3. COOKING ADVICE
•
Optimum even heating is achieved with pots properly
centred on the circular serigraphy.
•
Never place more than one pot on the same circular area.
•
Never allow two or more pots to touch on the top when
switched on.
•
Induction has a very low inertia in transferring electric
energy from the source to the food: if the energy value is
changed the reaction on the food occurs immediately.
•
Heating is very rapid: at max. power, bottoms of empty
pots and pans reach approx. 200°C.
•
Shifting the pot on the vitroceramic plate causes uneven
conduction of heat on the bottom, and therefore food
sticking to a part of it: the pot must always remain in the
middle of the cooking zone.
•
When heating oil or fat, watch the pot constantly, because
these substances can quickly overheat and burn.
2.4. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
The hot-plate cannot be cooled with water.
Avoid
overflowing of pots on the hot-plate, e.g. when they are
filled with water from a side dispenser.
•
For reasons of strength, a 6 mm thick vitroceramic top is
used. Therefore the appliance is suitable for normal use
in industrial kitchens. There is an unavoidable residual
risk of breakage due to punctiform impacts, e. g. objects
falling on it.
CAUTION! Be careful when handling pots. Any exces-
sive knocking could damage the vitroceramic top.
•
If the vitroceramic plate has cracks or is broken, the
induction cooker must not be used. This would be
dangerous.
•
As a result of the transmission of heat from the pot, the
vitroceramic plate is very hot after being used for cooking
and therefore must not be touched (avoid burns).
•
Due to risks in case of overheating, empty pots must not
be heated while unattended.
•
Do not place paper, cardboard, cloths, etc, between the
pot and the plate, because this could cause fire.
•
As the transmission of heat occurs rapidly and unevenly in
metal objects, no other objects except pots must be placed on
the cooktop. The high temperature reached could cause burns
to personnel.
•
Do not place closed tinned foods, aluminium foil, cutlery
or other metal objects on the cooking zone.
•
If a splashguard device is used for cooking, it must not
have a metal surface.
•
When using the appliances, objects such as rings and
watches, etc., worn by the user can become very hot if
brought near the surface of the appliances.
•
Persons wearing pacemakers should see a doctor to
know if their safety is guaranteed near this type of
appliance.
•
Do not place credit cards, telephone cards, tape cassettes
or other articles that react to magnetisation on the glass
plate.
•
The induction cooker is equipped with internal air cooling.
The air intake and outlet openings must not be blocked
with objects or cloths, otherwise the appliance could be
damaged due to excessive overheating.
•
Do not clean this appliance with jets of water.
•
Repairs can only be carried out by personnel trained by
the manufacturer.
•
Make sure the pots do not touch and that they are always
placed a certain distance from each other.
