o
Metallic objects are heated up very quickly when placed on the induction unit when the unit is in
use. Do not place any objects such as closed cans, aluminum foil, cutlery, jewelry, or watches on the
induction unit when the unit is in operation.
o
Do not place credit cards, phone cards, tapes, or any objects sensitive to magnetism on the cooking
surface.
o
Do not place any vessels made of aluminum or plastics on the glass-top.
•
The induction unit has an internal air-cooling system. Do not block the air intake and exhaust openings with
objects such as cleaning cloths or containers. Any obstruction to the air intake and exhaust could cause the
unit to overheat and to switch off.
•
Switch the unit 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 unit, he/she will have to turn the unit ON intentionally.
•
A dirty air intake filter blocks the fresh air intake. Clean the air intake filter (dishwasher-safe) at least once a
week or as often as necessary.
•
Use only induction suitable cookware with proper sizes and made of proper material. The induction suitable
cookware should also be in good condition without any uneven, arched or partially detached bottoms.
•
Protect the induction unit from moisture if the unit is placed next to high steam emitting equipment such as
pasta cookers, steamers, and water bath.
•
Do not place the induction unit next to a heat producing unit such as an oven or a deep fryer.
1.3
Improper Use of the Equipment
The reliability of the induction unit can only be guaranteed when it is used properly. The induction unit must
always be operated within the limits provided in the technical specifications. Please also refer to chapter
9
Important Rules
for using induction equipment.
1.4
Unauthorized Modification and Use of Spare Parts
Please contact Garland if you intend to make any changes on the induction unit. For safety reasons, always use
genuine parts and accessories approved by Garland. Any unauthorized modification as well as any installation of
unapproved components will void all warranty.
1.5
Pan Detection
Energy is transferred to cookware when the induction system detects a suitable pan on the heating area. The
green indicator light signals to communicate the Pan Detection process:
•
When the unit is ON without any pan on the hob, the green indicator light flashes; the unit is in pan
detection mode.
•
As soon as a pan is put on the hob, the heating process is engaged and the indicator light stops flashing
and remains bright. However, the indicator light will keep flashing if the unit is not detecting any pan or
an unsuitable pan is placed on the hob.
NOTE:
Pan with a bottom diameter smaller than 5”(12 cm) is not detected by the system.
