OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
General Information
Only qualified or trained personnel should use this appliance.
The green neon illuminated indicates power to the appliance.
Hob
Rotate the control knob to the required power level setting.
After use, switch the hob zone off by means of the control. Do not rely on the pan
detectors.
Fans may continue to operate after controls are switched to zero. This is normal.
Do not place aluminium foil or plastic vessels on hot ceramic surfaces. Do not
use the surfaces for storage.
Metallic objects should not be placed within the cooking zones as they will get
hot. Take care when operating the appliance as rings, watches or similar objects
could get hot in close proximity to the hob surfaces.
Only use pans of the size and type recommended in the pan selection notes.
Users with heart pacemakers should consult with their doctor or the manufacturer
of the pacemaker.
Induction cooking and pan selection
Induction cooking produces heat directly in the base of the pan. The system
comprises a ceramic glass hob with an induction coil beneath it. The coil
generates an alternating magnetic field. When a pan with a magnetic base is
placed on the cooking zone, eddy currents are produced in the base of the pan
leading to the production of heat. The pan heats extremely quickly.
The quality of the cookware is essential to the efficiency of induction cooking.
The base of the pan needs to be flat with good heat distribution.
Suitable pans are made from cast iron, enamelled steel and stainless steel with a
magnetic base. Unsuitable pans are glass, earthenware, aluminium, copper and
non-magnetic stainless steel.
Operation of the pan detection system is dependent on the size of the pan and its
material. Power from the induction coil to the pan will vary and is dependent on
size and pan material.
It is normal for induction generators to make buzzing, whistling and clicking
noises, especially on lower power settings.
Locate the pan concentrically over the ceramic glass target ring. If the inner ring
of the ceramic glass is visible around the pan, the pan is too small.
