The main advantage of induction heating is the reduction of losses during heat transfer because the
bottom of the pot is heated directly. When using an electric stove with hotplates or a ceramic hob,
the hotplate or hob is heated first and only then is this heat transferred to the bottom of the pot. This
transfer is the source of high heat losses, especially if the bottom of the pot and the hotplate are not
in full contact (there is an air gap or burned food between the two surfaces). On the other hand with
induction heating the bottom of the pot is heated a lot faster and cooking is therefore faster with a
substantially lower electrical energy consumption.
Advantages of cooking on an induction hotplate
1. The high efficiency and the significant energy saving: heat efficiency achieves up to 50%, which
saves time and makes the product more useful.
2. High capacity microprocessor controlled activity of the product - you can easily cook, fry or heat
any kind of food.
3. Easy touch controls with display.
4. Uniform heating: The bottom of the pot heats uniformly.
5. Safety control functions: automatic monitoring of the size of the bottom of the pot.
protection against overheating or overvoltage.
Appropriate pots and pans for use on an induction hotplate
Before use, make sure that the pot, which you are using is from a magnetised conductive material
(enamel, cast iron, stainless steel) and that the bottom of the container is flat and even with a diameter
of 12 – 24 cm.
Inappropriate pots and pans:
ceramic, glass, aluminium, pots/pan with a curved/boulging bottom,
or with a diameter smaller than 12 cm.
The induction hotplate is ready for cooking almost immediately. Never place empty pots/pans on an
glass ceramic hob. Always place pots/pans in the centre of the induction zone otherwise the lower part
of the pan will be unevenly heated and food in the pan may be burnt.
When heating oil, constantly monitor the pot/pan to prevent it from over heating or catching on fire.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Place the induction hotplate on an even surface so that the openings for the inflow and outflow air
openings are not covered. The distance between the induction hotplate and the wall must be at least
10 cm.
1) Turning it on
By pressing the on/off button
you will switch on the induction cooker. You will hear a beep and
the display will show „--“. After pressing the on/off button press the button for heating within
a minute. The heating will switch on and also an indicator light next to the heating button
. The
fan will switch on. If you do not take any action within 30 seconds, the induction cooker will beep for
30 seconds and then it will switch to a shutdown mode. By pressing the on/off button again you
will switch the cooker back on.
The induction cooker detects automatically if you are using proper cookware. If yes, the heating button
will stop flashing and the cooker will switch on. Otherwise, a beep will sound and a warning sign
E1
will appear on the display. If you do not put pot on the plate within 30 seconds, the induction cooker
will beep for 30 seconds and then it will switch to a shutdown mode.
