Metos Induction range Ardox IE
9
4.3. Operation procedures
4.3.1. Using the range
Ardox I range with ceramic hobs heats up very fast, so no preheating is necessary.
Select cooking zone and place cookware within the cooking zone. Start cooking from position “12” and
when boiling begins, decrease the power as needed. Cookware should be placed on the centre of hea-
ting zone, otherwise the bottom is heated unevenly.
Each induction heating zone is controlled by a temperature sensor. Overheated pans (hot oil, empty pans)
can be detected and energy transfer will be stopped. The induction zonesmust be restarted after they
have cooled down.
If there is a long interruption in the electricity supply, all power switches of the rangeshould be set to
“0” position. This should be done in order to prevent unexpected startupof the range when supply of
electricity is restored.
4.4. 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.
