5.1 What is induction cooking?
The principle of induction cooking is very simple. When the pan is pla-
ced on the pyroceram surface of the hob, it enters a magnetic field
generated by an induction system. The ferrous base of the pan heats
up rapidly as molecules rub against one another, producing heat. The
heating speed and intensity can be adjusted by controlling the magne-
tic field.
5.2 Why should you choose induction?
For
Safety
, because there are no flames or heat sources that create
hazards when the pan is removed from the heat source. The hob shuts
off automatically as soon as the pan is removed
For
Speed
, because heat is generated directly inside the pan, allowing
it to heat up immediately. For the same reason, the temperature is
adjusted immediately, in the same way as gas cooking
For
Efficiency
, because compared with other types of cooking, induc-
tion has very high energy yield, around 85%. This
cooking system also keeps the surrounding area cool and healthy, as
there is no heat dispersion, unlike other types of cooking appliances.
5.3 Caution and hazard
Caution! Incorrect usage and failure to comply with the
instructions provided could cause injury or damage to
people and property..
Caution! Before using or carrying out maintenance
work on the appliance, please read this use, mainte-
nance and installation manual carefully.
Hazard! Failure to follow the relative safety regula-
tions, laws and directives could expose you to hazard.
Hazard!The incorrect use or handling of the generators
poses a hazard to people, animals and property. Failure
to ready and study this use and installation manual
exposes you to hazard.
5.4 Safety of the user or personnel responsi-
ble for use
Electrical hazards should be excluded. The induction generator should
be used by qualified personnel and it should be installed by a certified
professional in compliance with specific international, national and
regional regulations on electrical and electronic appliances for collecti-
ve use and civil and industrial electrical installations.
5.5 Safety of the personnel responsible for use
The pyroceram area is heated by the heat of the saucepan. To avoid
burns, do not touch the heating zone.
To avoid excessive overheating, do not leave the empty saucepan on
the heat or heat it for no reason.
If cooking with several saucepans at the same time, make sure that the
handles do not cross each other and that they are outside the field of
induction. The handles may become very hot depending on the type of
material from which they are made.
Risk of burns!
We recommend using oven gloves.
Saucepans must always be kept a small distance apart. They should not
touch each other. When you remove the saucepan, it is advisable to
switch off the cooking zone to prevent the heating system from swit-
ching back on automatically should you happen to replace the sauce-
pan.
Do not place other material (paper, card, fabric, etc.) between the sau-
cepan and the cooking zone as it could catch fire.
Metal objects heat up very quickly if placed in the heating zone when
it is in operation. It is therefore advisable not to place objects other
than saucepans on the induction hob (cans, closed tins, aluminium
trays, cutlery, rings, keys, watches, etc.)
People with pace makers should consult their doctor to find our
whether they can work in the vicinity of a hob with induction genera-
tor.
Do not place credit cards, phone cards, cassette tapes or other magne-
tic objects on the pyroceram plate with induction system.
The induction generator has an internal cooling system. Make sure
that the air inlet and outlet holes are not blocked by objects (paper,
rags or other). This could cause overheating and lead the induction
generator to switch itself off.
Do not allow liquids (water, oil or other) to enter the induction gene-
rator.
Do not clean the generator with a jet of water.
If the pyroceram top is cracked or broken, switch off the induction
hob and disconnect the electricity supply.
Do not touch any of the internal parts of the induction generator.
5.6 Safety during installation, maintenance
and controls
The personnel responsible for use must be qualified. All installation,
maintenance and control operations must be performed by personnel
qualified to issue the relative certificates requested by the relative
authorities as regards safety
in the workplace.
Said personnel must study this manual in depth. Only highly qualified
personnel may install, maintain, service, repair and collect the induc-
tion generator component. In practice, said personnel must be trained
by means of a specific training course authorised by the manufacturer
as regards the induction generator.
Moreover, they must meet the requirements set by the relative autho-
rities as regards the electrical and electronic safety of installations.
Generally speaking, work should only be carried out on the induction
generator component after it has been disconnected from the electri-
city supply.
The induction generator must be switched off and disconnected from
the power supply and electricity network.
The safety and protection installations must be replaced and reinstal-
led at the end of the above operations, in keeping with the interna-
tional, national and regional regulations and laws on safety, thus
ensuring correct and safe usage of the component.
5.7 Preparation and Start-up
Before starting up the appliance, remove the protective wrapping.
Then carefully clean the working surface and the external parts with
lukewarm water and detergent, using a damp rag to remove all traces
of anti-rust material applied in the factory, then dry with a clean cloth.
5.7.1 Start-up
Before using the appliance for the first time, thoroughly clean out
the plate (see the chapter 6.4“Cleaning and taking care of the
machine”).
To start up the appliance, see the instructions for regular use.
The heating zone is heated by the heat emanated by the base of
the saucepan. To avoid burns and injury, do not touch the heating
zone.
Connect the appliance to the power supply after making sure that
the voltage corresponds to that used by the induction generator
and indicated on the manufacturer's plaque.
Place the saucepan to be heated in the central of the cooking zone,
beneath which the inductors are located.
