4. Operation Instructions

Working Theory

Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology. It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the pan, rather than indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because the pan eventually warms it up. The diagram shows the magnetic circuit, induced currents, an iron pot, a ceramic glass plate, and an induction coil.

Before Using Your New Induction Hob

• Read this guide, taking special note of the 'Safety Warnings' section.
• Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction hob.

4.1. Touch Controls

• The controls respond to touch, so you don't need to apply any pressure.
• Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
• Each time a touch is registered, a beep sounds.
• Make sure that the operating elements are always clean and dry and that no object (e.g. a utensil or cloth) is placed on them. Even a thin film of water can make it difficult to operate the controls. The diagram shows a correct touch with the ball of the finger [✓] and an incorrect touch with the tip of the finger [✗].

4.2. Choosing Cookware

• Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking.
• Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan.
• You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test: Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction.
• If you do not have a magnet: Put some water in the pan you want to check. If the display does not flash and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
• Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.
• Cookware bases with aluminium content reduce the ferromagnetic range, meaning less energy is transferred to the cookware, resulting in insufficient recognition or heating.
• Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base. The diagrams show examples of unsuitable cookware (crosses over pots) and suitable cookware (pots with flat bases).
• Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, lies flat against the glass and is the same size as the cooking zone. Use pans whose diameter is the same size as the graphic of the selected zone. If you use a pan that is slightly larger, the energy will be used to the maximum. If you use a smaller pan, the power may be lower than expected. Pots with a diameter of less than 140 mm may not be recognised by the hob. Always place your pot in the centre of the cooking zone. The diagrams illustrate correct and incorrect pan placement.
• Always lift pans off the Induction hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass. The diagrams show correct lifting [✓] and incorrect sliding [✗] of pans.

4.3. Pan Dimension

The cooking zones automatically adjust to the pan's diameter up to a limit. The pan base must have a minimum diameter corresponding to the cooking zone for best efficiency. Place the pan in the middle of the cooking zone.

4.4. How to Use

Start Cooking

• Touch the ON/OFF button. After switching on, a signal tone sounds and " - " is displayed on the control elements, indicating standby mode.
• Place a suitable pan on the cooking zone. Make sure the bottom of the pan and the surface of the cooking zone are clean and dry.
• Each hob zone has its own independent slider, boost, and timer operation button to control power level/timing.
• Adjust heat setting by touching the slider control. If no heat setting is chosen within 20 seconds, the hob will automatically switch off. You will need to start again. Heat settings can be modified at any time during cooking.

The diagram shows slider controls for adjusting heat settings, labeled 'Power up' and 'Power down'.

If the display flashes > < alternately with the heat setting, this means:

• You have not placed a pan on the correct cooking zone, or
• The pan you're using is not suitable for induction cooking, or
• The pan is too small or not properly centered on the cooking zone.

Heating only takes place if there is a suitable pan on the cooking zone. The display switches off automatically after 1 minute if there is no suitable cookware on the cooking zone.

Finish Cooking

• Move the slider of the corresponding burner all the way to the left. After 3 seconds, the hob switches off, and the display shows "0", then "-".
• Turn the whole cooktop off by touching the ON/OFF control.
• Beware of hot surfaces: 'H/h' indicates which cooking zone is hot to the touch. It disappears when the surface has cooled down to a safe temperature. This can also be used as an energy-saving function; use the hotplate while it is still hot to heat more pans.

Using the Boost Function

• Activate the boost function: Touch the ON/OFF button. After switching on, a signal tone sounds and " - " is displayed, indicating standby mode. By touching the boost control "P", the zone display shows "Marquee" and the power reaches maximum level.
• Cancel the Boost function: While the boost mode is running, touching any level on the slider will stop the boost mode, and the selected level will be shown in the display area.

NOTE:

• The boost function can work in all cooking zones.
• The cooking zone returns to its original setting after 10 minutes.
• The flex cooking zone returns to its original setting after 5 minutes.
• If the boost function of the 1st cooking zone is activated, start the 2nd cooking zone and vice versa.
• If the original heat setting is 0, it will return to 9 after the boost function has ended.

Flexible Area

• This area can be used as a single zone or as two different zones, depending on cooking needs.
• The flexible zone consists of two independent inductors that can be controlled separately. When used as a single zone, the part not covered by the cookware is automatically switched off after 8 seconds.
• To ensure correct detection of the pan and even heat distribution, the cookware should be positioned correctly: At the front or back of the flexible zone if the cookware is smaller than 21 cm. Everywhere with larger cookware.
• To activate the flexible area as a single large zone, simply press the corresponding button.

Examples of good pot placement and bad pot placement are shown in diagrams.

Locking the Controls

• You can lock the controls to prevent unintentional use (e.g. if children accidentally switch on the cooking zones).
• When the controls are locked, all controls except the ON/OFF button are deactivated.

[!] When the cooktop is in lock mode, all controls except ON/OFF are deactivated. You can always switch off the induction hob in an emergency using the ON/OFF control, but you must first unlock the hob the next time you operate it.

Timer Control

• Each heating zone has independent buttons for increasing and decreasing the time.
• A short press of the button increases or decreases the time by 1 minute; a long press increases or decreases it by 10 minutes.
• In Flex mode, the time control buttons of the Flex hobs can control the time of the Flex zone.
• In flex zone mode, if time is set and the flex zone function is turned off, the time will remain on the front cooking zone.
• When you switch to flex mode, the time setting is switched off by default.
• The maximum time that can be set is 8:00.
• The maximum setting time of the current cooking zone is the standard time of the cooking zone.
• Click on the slider to display the current level and move the slider to adjust the level.

1. If the time is set to 0, the level indicator mode is exited at a set time without any operation for 3s. The display shows '0:0:0'.
2. The button for increasing the time is effective for long and short presses. Diagrams show '+' and '-' buttons with arrows.
3. The button for decreasing the time is effective for long and short presses.
4. Press the plus or minus button simultaneously for 1s to cancel the time measurement.

Pause

1. When the cooking zones are in operation, touch the " II " [Pause] button. All displays show " - " and heating at level 2. At this moment, only the " II " and " " controls can be operated.
2. Touch " II " [Pause] again, the displays will show the original setting and the cooking zones will continue to heating up.

Pan Transfer

The pan transfer function is deactivated by default and can be switched on or off as follows: When switched off, press and hold the opening button " " to start the hob. Then within 10 seconds press the time reduction function button of the LF cooking zone for 3s.

• If "On" is shown on the LF digital display, this means that the pot transfer function is activated.
• If the LF digital display shows "Off", this means that the pan transfer function is deactivated.
• If the cooking zone is in boost mode, the pan transfer function is not activated by default.
• Once the transfer has been confirmed, the time and power level are transferred.

Diagrams illustrate the pan transfer process: starting LR hob, transferring to RF, and confirmation/disconfirmation steps.

5. Quick Start Guide

[!] Be careful when deep-frying, as oil and fat heat up very quickly, especially when using PowerBoost. At extremely high temperatures, oil and fat will ignite spontaneously, posing a serious fire hazard.

Cooking Tips

• When the food is boiling, reduce the temperature.
• Using a lid shortens the cooking time and saves energy as it retains the heat.
• Reduce the amount of liquid or fat to shorten the cooking time.
• Start cooking at a high level and reduce the level when the food is cooked through.

Simmering, Cooking Rice

Simmering takes place below the boiling point, at around 85°C, when bubbles occasionally rise to the surface of the cooking liquid. It is key to delicious soups and delicate stews as it allows flavors to develop without overcooking. Cook egg-based sauces and sauces thickened with flour below the boiling point.

For some methods, like cooking rice using the absorption method, a higher setting than the lowest may be necessary to ensure proper cooking within the recommended time.

Searing Steak

To cook juicy, flavorsome steaks:

1. Leave the meat to stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2. Heat a heavy frying pan.
3. Brush both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and then place the meat in the hot pan.
4. Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time depends on thickness and desired doneness, varying between 2 and 8 minutes per side. Press on the steak to check how cooked through it is – the firmer it feels, the better cooked through it is.
5. Allow the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes before serving so it can relax and become tender.

For Stir-frying

1. Choose an induction-compatible flat wok or a large frying pan.
2. Have all ingredients and utensils ready. Stir-frying should be quick. For large quantities, cook in several smaller batches.
3. Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
4. Cook the meat first, set aside and keep warm.
5. Stir-fry the vegetables. When hot but still crisp, turn the heat down to low, return the meat to the pan and add the sauce.
6. Stir the ingredients gently so they are heated through.
7. Serve immediately.

Detection of Small Articles

If a pan of unsuitable size or a non-magnetic pan (e.g., aluminium) or another small item (e.g., knife, fork, key) is left on the cooktop, the hob automatically switches to standby after 1 minute. The fan continues to work for another 1 minute.

Heat Settings

The settings below are guidelines; the exact setting depends on cookware and cooking amount. Experiment to find what suits you best.
