If in spite of all positive controls and tests the cooker doesn’t
work, refer to the Trouble Shooting Section.
Heating
The induction cooker is switched on with the control knob
(OFF
→
ON). The cooker is immediately ready for operation.
The illumination 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 10: Maximum Power for GUI 2.5
Position 12: Maximum Power for all other models.
Control Knob
The number that points to the indicator operation marks the
actual position of the control knob.
OFF - Position
0 points to the indicator operation.
ON - Position
Any position, where other than 0 points to the indicator
operation.
Simmer Control
We have designed these units with excellent simmer control,
The 3.5kW and 5.0Kw units all feature an infinite control
and we have marked the overlays from 1-12 as the power
increases. (0-10 for GUI2.5). We have designed the units such
that the range from 1-9 (1-7 on GIU2.5) controls the heat
from about 5% to 50% of total power, giving a great range
of simmer control. The power jumps dramatically for strong
boiling and quick heat after that.
Cooking Process
Due to the following characteristics, the operator must be
more attentive when using the induction cooker than it
would be required with other appliances.
OPERATION Continued
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. Empty pots
and pans will heat up very quickly and are then ready for
cooking. Once this has occurred, carefully adjust the heating
graduation to the desired cooking level by setting and
adjusting the power with the control knob.
Set and adjust the power with the control knob. 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.
When heating up oil or grease, constantly check the pan to
prevent oil and grease from overheating and burning.
Comfort
The cooker only transmits energy if a pan is placed on the
heating area. 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 cooking will
stop.
Pan Detection
During pan detection, the indicator operation flashes. No
power is transferred and the indicator lamp flashes if no pan
or an unsuitable pan is detected. Pans having a diameter
smaller than 127 mm (5”) are not detected.
Control Of The Heating Area
The heating area is controlled with a temperature sensor.
Overheated pans (hot oil, empty pans) will be detected.
Energy transfer will be stopped. The induction unit must be
restarted after it has cooled down.
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 longer
period (several days), unplug the unit.
Make sure that no liquid can enter into the cooker, and do
not clean the cooker with a jet of water.
