“Safety Instructions” continued
•
Ensure that any accidental pulling on the cable or tripping over is not possible.
•
Regularly check the cable. If it is damaged, for example, by squeezing, then it must be
replaced by a qualified professional.
•
Do not touch the appliance, cord and plug with wet hands.
•
The appliance must not be immersed in water or other liquids. Should the device fall into
water, immediately unplug the power cord and have the unit inspected before reuse by an
expert. There is a risk of electric shock.
•
Do not use damaged hotplate! In this case, disconnect the device from the power supply and
contact your dealer!
•
Do not operate the unit with an external timer or separate remote control!
•
Use the device only by placing a suitable pot on it which has to be filled with contents to be
heated. Do not leave any empty pans on the active cooking surface. Your cookware and
ultimately your device may be damaged – A risk of overheating exists!
•
Do not operate the device without cookware!
When a pot is removed for a short while, a series of acoustic signals sound and after
approximately one minute, the cooking process is automatically switched off.
Then, if no further operation takes place within the next 2 hours, the device switches off
automatically.
•
After each time the device switches off or is switched off, the fan will come on, even up to 1
minute after! This is a normal and necessary technical operation.
•
Caution: After use the cooking surface with which the cooking utensil had contact is very hot!
Do not touch!
•
Never attempt to open the device or repair it at all. A danger to life exists!
•
Do not leave the device unattended during use. Be especially careful when children are near
because they may not recognize the dangers in dealing with electric devices and it may
cause injury from the generation of heat.
•
Caution! The unit is powered as long as it is connected to the mains.
•
Before cleaning, always pull the plug from the socket, likewise when unused for long periods
and allow the unit to cool down before cleaning/putting away.
3. Induction
An electromagnetic alternating field is generated in the cooking plate with the help of a coil. This
energy is transmitted to the bottom of the cooking vessel where it is converted into heat.
Advantages:
With induction hobs, heat is better distributed and the cooking material is heated more quickly as
they function not only at the bottom of the cooking-vessel but the side walls are also heated. The
reaction time is very short and the food is heated very quickly. With this short response time the
cooking process can be more accurately controlled than with a stove with electric hotplates made
of cast steel. Therefore
•
Time and energy savings.
