THE PRINCIPLE AND ADVANTAGES OF INDUCTION COOKING
•
When cooking on ordinary cooktops, the hotplate needs to be heated fi rst and only thereafter
is heat transferred to the bottom of the cookware placed on the hotplate. Signifi cant thermal losses
occur during the transfer of heat from the hotplate to the bottom of the cookware, especially
when the bottom of the cookware is not in full contact with the hotplate or if the hotplate is soiled.
•
When cooking on an induction cooktop the metal bottom of the pot is directly heated by
electromagnetic waves. This minimises thermal losses and cooking on an induction cooktop is faster
and consumes less energy.
COOKWARE SUITABLE FOR INDUCTION COOKING
•
Cookware suitable for induction cooking must be made from a metal magnetisable conductive
material (cast iron, enamelled steel, stainless steel).
•
The bottom of the cookware must be fl at and straight.
•
The bottom of the cookware that you wish to use on this induction cooktop should have a diameter
of at least 12 cm. The maximum diameter of the cookware should be such that it does not extend
more than 2 cm past the marked out cooking zone on the hotplate.
COOKWARE THAT CANNOT BE USED FOR INDUCTION COOKING
•
Cookware made from aluminium, copper, ceramics, porcelain or glass.
•
Cookware the bottom of which is bulging or curved.
•
Cookware with a bottom that has a diameter of less than 12 cm cannot be used with this induction
cooktop.
PREPARING AND USING THE INDUCTION COOKTOP
• Before
fi rst use, take the appliance and its accessories out of the packaging material.
•
Check that the hotplate of the induction cooktop is not damaged and that its surface is clean.
Always place the appliance on an even, dry and stable surface. Leave a free space of at least
10 cm around the induction cooktop and 50 cm above it to ensure suffi ciently air circulation during
operation. Connect the induction cooktop to a power socket. The connection to a working power
socket is confi rmed by a sound and "OFF" (turned off) will be shown on the display.
• Place ingredients into cookware suitable for induction cooking. Place the cookware on the
respective hotplate.
Note
:
The large and small hotplates can be used at the same time.
OPERATING THE INDUCTION COOKTOP
1. TURNING ON A HOTPLATE
1.1 Turn on the large/small hotplate by pressing the
button located on the control panel A/B. "ON"
(turned on) will appear on the display.
1.2 Press the MENU button. The induction cooktop automatically detects, whether the cookware
located on the hotplate is suitable for induction cooking. If correct cookware is located on the
hotplate, the induction cooktop will start heating at the preset power level of 1600 W (large
hotplate) / 1300 W (small hotplate). The display will show "1600" or "1300" and the fan will start
running.
