OPERATION
Cooking Process
The induction cooker is switched on by turning the control
knob (OFF
➯
ON) and it is immediately ready for operation.
The luminous operation indicator light 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 only)
➯
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 by turning the control knob, the
food is immediately exposed to a different temperature. Do
not put empty pans on the cooking zone, first put grease or
liquid into the pan and start the cooking process afterwards.
Empty pans and pots heat up very quickly. Adjust the
heating level carefully to the required cooking mode. Set and
adjust the power by turning the control knob.
The pan should always remain in the center of the heating
area, otherwise, the bottom of the pan is heated up
unequally and the food inside the pan may burn. When
heating up oil or grease, constantly check the pan to prevent
oil and grease from overheating and burning.
When using a GN-pan for heating by induction just use the
cooking positions of 1 or 2.
Comfort
The cooker transmits energy only when 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 to the pan 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
process will stop. Except for the pan, no heat is stored.
Out Of Operation
If the cooker is not in use make sure that the control knob is
in the “OFF” position. If you don’t use the cooker for a long
period (several days), unplug the unit. Make sure that no
liquid can enter into the cooker, do not clean the cooker with
a jet of water.
Safety Concerns
Risk Involved By Disregarding Safety Information
Danger for persons, the environment and the cooker can
result from disregarding safety information. Certain risks may
be associated with disregarding precautions, including:
• Danger to persons through electrical causes.
• Danger to persons through overheated pans.
• Danger to persons through an overheated cooking
platform (ceran plate).
Safety Conscious Work
The safety information pointed out in these instructions,
existing national regulation for the prevention of accidents
as well as any internal working, operating and safety
regulations stipulated by the operator must be observed at
all times.
Safety Information For The
Operator/Operating Personnel
The following safety precautions should be followed at all
times:
• The heating area is warmed up from the heat of the pan.
To avoid injuries (burning) do not touch the heating area.
• To avoid overheating of pans due to the evaporation of
the content, don’t leave pans unattended.
• Switch the control knob off if you take the pan away for
a while. This will avoid the heating process to continue
automatically when a pan is placed back on the heating
area. So, if any person starts to use the cooker, he/she will
have to start the heating process by turning the control
knob in the ON-position.
