OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The basic layout of the induction cooktop is shown in the diagram below.
The induction cooktop appliance is operated by touching buttons, with the functions confirmed by LED
displays and acoustic signals.
Turning On and Turning Off the Cooktop Appliance
NOTE: Do not operate the cooktop without first placing a suitably sized cooking vessel containing food on the
appropriate cooking zone. Missing or incorrectly sized cookware will cause the “U” fault to be displayed on
the Heat level display (cooking zone off). Turn off the cooking zone or replace cookware to continue cooking.
If the appliance is in
Stand-By-Mode,
it is put into
Operating-Mode
by pressing the
On/Off
button for at least 1
second. A beep signal indicates the successful operation acoustically.
On all Heat Level Displays a ´0` will appear and all
Decimal Points
of the Heat Level displays will flash (1
second on, 1 second off).
If there is no operation within 20 seconds, all the Heat Level Displays will automatically turn off. If the displays
are turned off, the hotplates will be re-set into
Stand-By-Mode
.
If
On/Off
is pressed for more than 2 seconds (in
Operating-Mode
), the appliance is switched off and is set into
the
Stand-By-Mode
again. The appliance can be turned off by pressing
On/Off
at any time; even if other
buttons are pressed simultaneously.
If there is a residual heat of a hotplate remaining, this will be indicated in the correspondent heat setting Heat
Level
Display as a red “H”
.
Selecting A Cooking Zone
Select a single cooking zone by pressing the corresponding
Heater Selection Button
, and the
Decimal Point
of the chosen cooking zone turns on. For the selected cooking zone, you can set or adjust the heat level
between 1-9 by touching the
Increase Heat Setting Button
or
Decrease Heat Setting Button
. All of the other
cooking zone displays will have a visible ‘O’ or ‘H’ (if recently used) but they will not have a decimal point.
If left idle for more than 10 seconds, the decimal point on the chosen cooking zone display will turn off (the
cooking zone is no longer selected). Press the
Heater Selection Button
again to select the cooking zone
again. Other cooking zones can be selected without waiting for the previous one to become inactive.
The Heat Level Display works on a thermostat system. This means that the cooking zone will switch on and
off in order to remain at the chosen Heat Level. NOTE the cooking zone will remain on for longer periods if a
higher Heat Level is chosen, alternatively the cooking zone will be on less regularly on lower Heat Level
Settings.
Turning Off Individual Cooking Zones
A particular cooking zone can be turned off in 2 different ways:
A) Selecting the cooking zone & then simultaneously pressing the
Increase Heat Setting Button
and
Decrease Heat Setting Button
, after which a beep signal sounds and “0“ appears in the Heat Level Display.
B) Reduction of the heat setting to “0“ by operating the
Decrease Heat Setting Button
. When this happens,
the associated
Decimal Point
of the cooking zone will also be turned off. If there is residual heat from this
hotplate remaining, a red ´H` will be shown in the Heat Level Display area.
