5. BEFORE YOU START
Unpack the device. First check whether all the parts are complete and
undamaged. If any items are missing or damaged, please phone our hotline.
Keep the packaging material away from children and dispose of appropriately.
5.1 Introduction to induction cooking
Cooking with an induction hotplate works differently to what you are used to
from normal hotplates. The heat is generated by means of an electromagnetic
field in the base of the cooking vessel and not by means of heat resistors in the
heating zone. This saves energy and reduces cooking times.
At high power, the content of the cooking vessel is heated much quicker, it also
reacts much more quickly to the temperature being turned down. You could
say that using an induction hotplate is very similar to cooking with gas.
But you do need special induction-compatible cookware with a ferromagnetic
base.
5.2 Suitable cookware
Only use ferromagnetic cookware which is suitable for induction hotplates.
These should be labelled accordingly when you buy them. Cookware made
of non-magnetic metals (aluminium, copper, etc.) and other materials (e.g.
ceramics, porcelain, glass, etc.) is not suitable.
The base of the cookware must be able to stand flat on the induction hotplate,
be smooth and have a diameter of between 12 and 19 cm.
If the cookware is not the right diameter or is made of unsuitable material, the
heating zone automatically switches off. A beeper sounds every 2 seconds and
the error E0 is shown on the display (11).
6. GETTING STARTED
Place the appliance on an even, non-slip and dry surface.
Risk of fire!
• Do not place the device on textile surfaces such as tablecloths.
• Do not place the device on metal surfaces. These can heat up quickly and
cause a fire.
• Never place the device under flammable items such as curtains.
• The openings on the bottom of the product must never be covered. Keep
a distance of at least 10 cm clear all around the device and at least 60 cm
clear above it to guarantee sufficient cooling.
