Operation
Section 3
,
Caution
Short Cook Time
Induction appliances cook food faster than conventional
cooking equipment. To avoid overheating and burning,
check the cooking process frequently. Never leave the
appliance unattended during operation.
,
Caution
Metallic objects are heated up very quickly when placed
on the induction cook zone during operation. To avoid
injury,
DO NOT place any objects such as closed cans, aluminum
objects (aluminum foils), cutlery, jewelry, or watches on
the appliance.
DO NOT place any object such as paper, cardboard, or
cloth on the cooking surface, because this creates a fire
hazard.
DO NOT place credit cards, phone cards, tapes, or any
objects that are sensitive to magnetism on the appliance.
DO NOT use the appliance for storage.
DO NOT place any paper products, cooking utensils,
cutlery, plastic vessels or food on the appliance.
,
Caution
Aluminum foil must not be used with induction cook-
top! Aluminum foil may ignite and cause a fire!
Notice
Do not use the cooktop for food preparation such as
cutting and chopping.
n
Warning
Risk of burns from high temperatures. You may get burnt
if you touch any of the parts during operation. Surfaces
close to the cooking area including side panels may get
hot enough to burn skin. Use extreme caution to avoid
coming in contact with hot surfaces or hot grease. Wear
personal protective equipment.
Cooking with Induction Glass-Tops Models
n
Warning
Never Leave An Empty Pan On Cooktop
Induction appliances heat up empty pans very quickly.
Never operate the appliance with an empty pan. Do not
pre-heat pan. Always put food products, water or oil
into the pan before turning on the appliance. Failure to
do so will result in irreparable damage.
Notice
Broil-Dry Protection
Cook zones are monitored by temperature sensors. The
sensors can detect overheating at the base of a cooking
pan.
When an overheated pan (overheated oil, empty pan) is
detected, the appliance stops transferring energy to the
pan immediately. You must turn off the appliance and
let it cool down before re-starting the appliance.
,
Caution
Do Not Touch Overheated Appliance
To avoid burn injuries, do not touch the appliance
when a pan is overheated and take all the necessary
precautions when removing the overheated pan.
n
Warning
Steam can cause serious burns. Always wear some type
of protective covering on your hands and arms when
removing lids or pans from the appliance. Lift the lid or
pan in a way that will direct escaping steam away from
your face and body.
