Hotplate function principle
• Ceramic glass hob is fitted with three or four hotplates. Hob surface is
completely flat and smooth, without edges to accumulate dirt.
• The hob is fi tted 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 fl ows 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.
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 fi rst 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.
