Operation
Before first Use
Unpack the induction plate and check for any damage in transit. Keep packaging
material out of reach of children. Plastic bags etc. may become a deadly toy.
Product Features of Induction Hotplates
With induction hotplates, an electric voltage is applied on a conductor spool
beneath the glass surface. The eddy currents create magnetic fields, which
directly heat up the bottom of cookware which can be magnetised.
This means saving time and energy, because contrary to common hotplates,
the cookware is heated up, not the heating element and the hotplate itself.
Due to these technical characteristics the unit needs very short start-up
cooking time.
In addition, the heat supply promptly adapts to changed settings and can be
controlled in small steps. The induction hotplate reacts to changed settings
just as fast as a gas stove, as the energy reaches the pot immediately without
having to heat up other materials first.
The induction technology combines this fast reaction with the basic
advantage of being able to exactly adjust the heat supply.
As the cooking plate is only heated up indirectly via the bottom of the
cookware, over spilling
food cannot stick and burn and there is hardly any
danger of burns for the user. The glass surface is only heated up by the hot
cookware.
The induction hotplate will switch off, if
- you take off the cookware after cooking process. First the unit will turn to
standby
mode and after 15 seconds it will automatically switch off.
- the pot recognition function detects whether suitable cookware is placed on
the hotplate or not. If this is not the
case, no energy is transmitted.
- the hotplate is operated with empty cookware. The built-in temperature
sensor will automatically turn off the hotplates.
- the induction hotplate is switched on without placing cookware on the
cooking plate. The unit will automatically turn off after 15 seconds.
Setting up the Unit
Place the unit on a stable and level surface. Never place the unit on a
flammable surface (e.g. table cloth, carpet, etc.). Do not place the unit on a
metal table.
Do not block or cover the ventilation slots (7). This may overheat the unit.
Also keep sufficient distances to the ceiling, walls or other items.
