Part Number 4533030 Rev 1 07/2017
Operation
Section 3
Automatic Pan Detection, No Pan No
Heat
When a temperature or a power level is selected, the
appliance supplies energy only when a pan is placed in the
cook zone.
When you remove the pan from the cook zone, the
appliance stops power supply immediately. If the pan is put
back in the cook zone, power supply resumes.
NOTE: Switch off the cook-top by means of the control. Do
not rely on the Pan Detection as the ON-OFF control.
NOTE: Pan with a bottom diameter smaller than 12cm or 5” is
not detected by the system.
When Appliance Is Idle
BEST PRACTICE:
When the induction appliance is not in use, always put the
control knob in the 0 (OFF) position.
Notice
Switch the appliance OFF if you take the cookware away
for a while. This will prevent the heating process to start
automatically and unintentionally when a pan is placed
back on the heating area. If any person needs to use
the induction appliance, he/she will have to turn the
appliance ON intentionally.
Reading Signals from the Indicator
Lamp
PAN DETECTION MODE:
When the appliance is ON but without any pan sitting on the
cooking surface, the appliance is in Pan Detection mode and
the indicator lamp flashes.
As soon as a pan is put into the cook zone, the pan engages
the heating process and the indicator lamp stops flashing
and remains bright.
However, the indicator lamp will keep flashing if the
appliance is unable to detect the pan or an unsuitable pan is
used.
When a fault occurs, the indicator lamp flashes at intervals.
See section 5 Troubleshooting.
