Operation
5.1
Cooking process
The induction cooker is switched on with the control knob (OFF ON) the cooker is imme-
diately ready for operation. The illuminated indicator operation lights means that energy is
being transferred to the pan. The power rating is set by turning the control knob. The
inductive power depends on the position of the potentiometer:
Position 1
>
minimum power
Position 9
>
maximum power (BH/BA)
Position 12
>
maximum power
Due to the following characteristics, the operator must be more attentive when using the
induction cooker than it would be required with other appliances. The heat storage capacity of
this system is very low. If the heating level is changed with the control knob, the food is
immediately exposed to a different temperature.
Do not put empty pans on the glass
ceramic cooking zone
, first put grease or liquidity into the pan and start cooking process after
that. Adjust carefully the heating level to the required cooking mode. Set and adjust the power
with the control knob.
The welding of the bottom of steadily overheated pans can get loose and lead to a
deformation. A strong and punctiform overheating can damage the detector.
The pan should always remain in the center of the heating area, otherwise, the bottom of the
pan is heated unequally and the food inside the pan may burn. The hot pan must not cover
neither the silicone joint nor the housing (heat may dry out the silicone joint and it may
break), this can lead to a failure of the device
.
When heating up oil or grease, constantly
check the pan to prevent oil and grease from overheating and burning.
If a GN-pan shall be heated up by induction just use cooking position 1 or 2.
5.2
Comfort
The cooker only transmits energy if a pan is placed on the heating area, independently of the
position of the control knob. If you take the pan away from the heating area, power transfer
stops immediately. If the pan is put back on the heating area, the selected power will be
transferred to the pan again.
After switching the cooker to the off position the cooking will stop. The heat is only saved in
the pan.
