BEFORE FIRST USE
IMPORTANT!
You should clean the ceramic cooktop surface (refer to the “Cleaning and Maintenance” section).
►
You should switch on one cooking zone at a time, for 5 minutes at the maximum setting. This will help to eliminate
any new smell that exists and evaporate any humidity that has formed on the heating elements during transit.
►
Do not burn off more than one zone at once.
►
You must place a saucepan filled half full with cold water on each cooking zone as you burn it off.
TOUCH CONTROLS
►
All operations are performed by means of the touch controls that can be found in the front center of the cooktop
(when standing in front).
SWITCHING ON A COOKING ZONE AND SETTING A POWER LEVEL
► Press the power button (1) for 2 seconds to turn the appliance on.
▷ The 4 zone LED lights (4) will all display “0”.
▷ After 20 seconds of inactivity, the cooktop will automatically switch off.
► After selecting your cooking zone by touching the zone indicator symbol (4), you then use the +/- (2/3) buttons to
increase or decrease your desired heating level.
▷ Each cooking zone has a power range of 1-9, where 9 is the maximum power. At power level “0” the cooking zone
will be turned off.
IMPORTANT!
When you have finished cooking, make sure that you set the zone to OFF, by using the “-“ button and
setting the zone to (“0”).
CHILD LOCK
The child lock feature prevents your induction cooktop from being inadvertently being switched on.
To lock your cooktop:
► Firstly turn the induction cooktop on using the Power button (1).
► Simultaneously press a cooking zone selection button (4) and the Decrease button (3), and then press the cooking zone
selection button (4) once again alone.
► An “L” will appear on all cooking zone LEDs to indicate that the cooktop is locked.
NOTE:
Where a cooking zone has residual heat, the LED will alternate between the “L” and “H” symbols.
To temporarily unlock your cooktop for cooking:
► Simultaneously press a cooking zone selection button (4) and the Decrease button (3).
► The “L” indicator will disappear and be replaced with a “0” and a flashing dot displayed for all zones.
NOTE:
Where a cooking zone has residual heat, the LED will alternate between the “H” and “0” symbols.
► The cooktop is now temporarily unlocked and can be used.
► The child lock will become active again after switching off the zones.
To cancel the child lock:
► Simultaneously press a cooking zone selection button (4) and the Decrease button (3), and the press the Decrease
button (3) once again alone.
► Within 10 seconds the child lock will be cancelled and will enter Standby mode with all zones showing “0”.
NOTE:
Where a cooking zone has residual heat, the LED will alternate between the “H” and “0” symbols.
SWITCHING OFF A ZONE GRADUALLY
After selecting your desired zone to switch off (4), simply press the Decrease (3) button to reduce the power setting to “0”.
The selected zone will then switch off after reaching “0”.
SWITCHING OFF A ZONE INSTANTLY
After selecting your desired zone to switch off (4), simply press the Increase (2) and Decrease (3) buttons simultaneously.
The selected zone will switch off immediately.
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATORS
► After a zone is switched off, the corresponding cooking zone will show a flashing “H” symbol next to the corresponding
zone. This means that the temperature of the zone is over 55°C and is therefore still high enough to cause injury.
► The residual heat indicator will go out after the temperature of the zone falls below 55°C.
IMPORTANT!
The residual heat indicator will disappear if the mains supply to the product is cut.
Warning!
It is still possible to burn yourself on a cooktop zone, even when the residual heat indicator has gone
off. Always use caution when using the cooktop.
POT/PAN SENSOR
Each induction zone has a built-in sensor so that it can detect the presence of a pan.
► The sensor is fine-tuned to detect a pan being placed on it. The pan should be one size smaller than the nominal
diameter of the zone.
► If after placing a pot or pan onto a cooking zone and selecting that cooking zone, a “U” shaped symbol appears on the
cooking zone display (see below), this indicates an error. The symbol lets you know that the pot or pan is either the
incorrect size, or that it could be made from a material that is inappropriate for use on an induction cooktop.
► If a cooking zone is selected but no pan is detected, the pan sensor system will check for the presence of a pan
approximately every few seconds.
► You should check that your pots/pans are suitable for use on an induction cooktop (see the pan manufacturer’s
trademark or instructions).
