METOS Ardox IEC
4.2. Operation procedures
4.2.1. Using the range
Ardox IEC range with ceramic hobs heats up very fast, so no preheating is necessary.
Infrared cooking zones:
Select cooking zone according to cookware to be applied and food to be prepared. Start cooking from
position “6” and when boiling begins, decrease the power as needed. Cook- ware should be placed on
the centre of heating zone, otherwise the bottom is heated un- evenly.
Despite the fact that infrared heating elements are equipped with temperature limiters, the cooking
zones should not be left without a pan for a long period. If the set power of cooking zone exceeds the
heat reception capability of the pan, the temperature limiter would adjust the power as needed.
Induction cooking zones:
To generate power for induction cooking zone, put first cookware within cooking zone and turn corre-
sponding switch from “0” position to any position between “1” and “12”. The maximum power is when
the switch is in”12” position and the minimum power when the switch is in “1” position.
Induction heating zones are also controlled by temperature sensor. Overheated pans (hot oil, empty
pans) can be detected and energy transfer will be stopped. The induction zones must be restarted after
they have cooled down.
If there is a long interruption in the electricity supply, all power switches of the range should be set to
“0” position. This should be done to prevent unexpected start up of the range when electricity supply
is restored.
4.2.2. Cooking hints
1. Before use, ensure hob surface is clean, dry and free of grease. Remove any burnt on food debris.
2. Familiarise yourself with cooking area and control settings.
3. Each cooking zone has a power capacity of 5kW.
4. Each zone is governed by individual energy regulator.
5. Control setting is from 1 to 12. (1 - lowest setting, 12 - highest).
6. Boiling, steaming, poaching, stewing, pot roasting, deep and shallow frying can be achieved on the hob.
7. Ferritic cooking vessels must be used.
8. To boil liquid, follow this procedure:
• Fill and position pan centrally within cooking zone.
• Turn appropriate switch dial to 12.
• When boiling occurs, reduce setting and continue to cook by simmering.
9. The lower setting is dependent on amount and density of liquid and also starch content.
10. Skill is required to control simmering and the ability to select a corresponding temperature setting
will improve with practice.
11. Any spillage should be cleaned from hob surface as soon as practically possible.
12. Setting for roasting is from 6 to 8. Higher power may cause burning of the food
Failure to clean filter regularly may cause problems that will not be covered by warranty. The air intake
filter MUST ALWAYS be in place during operation.
Wipe glass-ceramic hob clean using a damp cloth and warm, soapy water. For heavy stains, use a scraper
while cooking zone is still warm.
Wipe down with a damp cloth when zone is cool.
