Blisters Sugar, food with a high sugar content Remove spills immediately with a glass scraper. Induction Cooking Induction cooking is very different from traditional cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item of cookware by electromagnetic vibrations. Electromagnetic fields can affect electronic circuits and interfere with portable radios and phones. Do not put magnetically active objects (e.g. credit cards, computer diskettes, cassettes) on or near the ceramic glass surface while one or more induction cooking zones are in use. 2 www.iamzchef.com Email: info@iamzchef.com Whatsapp:+1 (838) 910 8317 Facebook: amzchefappliance Cookware Cookware material Never use pans made from common thin steel, glass, earthenware, copper and aluminium. Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking, such as: Cookware made from enameled steel Cookware made from cast iron Special induction-compatible cookware made from stainless steel Cookware sold as induction-ready will often have a symbol manufacturer. Aluminium Ceramic Copper Glass Concave base printed on the bottom by the The magnet test To see if a piece of cookware will work on your appliance, try to stick a magnet to it. If the magnet clings firmly to the bottom of the cookware, it will work on your appliance. If the magnet clings weakly or not at all, the cookware will not heat up on your appliance. Absence of pan or unsuitable size If no pan is placed on the hotplate, or if it is made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the error code "Pot" will show on the display. Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the flashing. If this takes more than 30 seconds, the hotplate will switch off automatically. Note: Proper cookware on an operating induction cooking zone will heat up very quickly. If an empty piece of cookware is left on an operating induction cooking zone, the rapid change in temperature may warp or damage the cookware. Sounds The magnetic field over the induction cooking zone may cause cookware to vibrate, creating a buzzing or humming noise. You may also hear a fan that cools the electronics inside the appliance. Below sounds are not unusual, especially at high settings: Cookware that is not perfectly flat on the bottom may vibrate slightly against the cooking zone. A loose handle may vibrate in its socket. Multi-material cookware may allow small vibrations in its structure. (Sounds are less likely to occur with heavier, higher quality cookware.) Hints & Tips Always place suitable lids on saucepans. When cooking without a lid, considerably more energy is required. Use a heat-resistant glass lid to easily view the inside without lifting it. Use pots and pans with even bases. Uneven bases increase energy consumption. The diameter of pot and pan bases should be the same size as the hotplate. In particular, small saucepans on the hotplate cause energy losses. Note: cookware manufacturers often indicate the upper diameter of the saucepan. This is usually bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan. Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger, less full saucepan requires a lot of energy. Cook with only a little water. This will save energy. Vitamins and minerals in vegetables are preserved. 3 www.iamzchef.com Email: info@iamzchef.com Whatsapp:+1 (838) 910 8317 Facebook: amzchefappliance Always cover as large an area of the hotplate as possible with your saucepan. Switch to a lower heat setting in good time. Select a suitable ongoing cooking setting. You will waste energy by using an ongoing cooking setting which is too high. Use the residual heat of the hotplate. For longer cooking times, you can switch the appliance off 5-10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.

Lock Fry Timer Power/Timer Knob Residual heat indicator Once the surface temperature exceeds 60 / 140, the display will show "Hot", signaling that the surface is still too hot to touch. It may be used, for example, to keep a small meal warm or to melt cooking chocolate. The display remains lit until the hotplate has cooled sufficiently. Over-temperature protection Equipped with a temperature sensor, the appliance can monitor internal temperatures and will automatically cease operation if they exceed safe levels. Detection of small articles When an unsuitable size or non-magnetic pan (e.g. aluminium), or some other small item (e.g. knife, fork, key) has been left on the induction hotplate, an error code "Pot" will appear. A pot or pan with at least a 4.72" bottom diameter is necessary. Setting the Appliance This part provides instructions on how to set the appliance. Operating instruction 1. Press the ON/OFF button to switch on the appliance. 2. Press Fry or Temp. button to select a cooking mode. The display will show the current heat setting. 3. Then set the preferred heat level by rotating the knob. Rotate it clockwise to increase the heat level Rotate it anti-clockwise to decrease the heat level (see figure) 4.

Cooking modes ICON NAME FUNCTION Fry button Press to enter Watt mode Watt range: 100W ~ 1800W Clockwise to increase Anti-clockwise to decrease Press to enter Temp. mode Temp. button Temperature range: 140°F ~ 465°F Cooking mode indicator 5 www.iamzchef.com Email: info@iamzchef.com Whatsapp:+1 (838) 910 8317 Facebook: amzchefappliance - If a specific cooking temperature is not required, we suggest using watt mode. To quickly bring a pot of water to boil, use a higher watt level setting. Similarly, for milk heating, sauce cooking and others, the temp. mode is also applicable. - For frying or sautéing food, temp. mode is preferred because the built-in micro-processor monitors and regulates cookware to the preset temperature. Note: If you don't choose a heat setting within 30 seconds, the appliance will automatically switch off. If the error code "Pot" appears on the cooking zone display The cooktop has an automatic recognition system for suitable cookware. If no cookware suitable for induction is detected on a cooking zone, this is indicated by the code "Pot" on the corresponding cooking zone display. The cookware used is not suitable for induction. The cookware was not placed on the selected cooking zone. The cookware was not placed in the middle of the cooking zone. The cookware is too small. To select cookware that is suitable for induction cooking, see section Induction Cooking.

Cleaning & Care The information in this section provides help on how best to care for your hob. Note: Before cleaning, be sure the controls are turned OFF and the surface is cool. Daily use To remove fingerprints and food stains, apply a vitro-ceramic glass cleaner, ensuring thoroughly rinse and wipe dry. For spills on the glass surface, use a suitable utensil to remove the spill, but beware of the hot cooking zone. Wipe clean with a cloth or paper towel. If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30-degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with hob cleaning cream and buff the surface clean. Note: Do not use other abrasive cleaners and/or wire wool etc., as they may scratch the ceramic glass surface. Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic Special care should be taken when removing hot substances to avoid permanent damage to the glass surface. Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, and syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface of your appliance (not covered by the warranty) unless the spill is removed while still hot. Special care should be taken when removing hot substances. 7 www.iamzchef.com Email: info@iamzchef.com Whatsapp:+1 (838) 910 8317 Facebook: amzchefappliance Troubleshooting Problem Possible causes The appliance cannot be turned on. No power. The controls are unresponsive. The touch controls are difficult to operate. The controls are locked. There may be a slight film of water over the controls or you may be using the finger tip when touching the controls. The glass is being scratched. Cookware with rough-edge, unsuitable abrasive scourer or cleaning products is used. Some pans make cracking or clicking noises. This may be caused by the construction of your cookware (layers of different metals vibrating differently). What to do Make sure the appliance is connected to the power supply and that it is switched on. Check whether there is a power outage in your home or area. If you've checked everything and the problem persists, call a qualified technician. Unlock the controls. See section Child Lock for instructions. Make sure the touch control area is dry and use the finger pad when touching the controls. Use pots and pans with even bases. Always lift cookware off the surface instead of sliding it. Use cookware with flat and smooth bases. See section Cleaning & Care. This is normal for cookware and does not indicate a fault. The appliance makes a low humming noise when used in a high heat setting. This is caused by the technology of induction cooking. This is normal, but the noise should quieten down or disappear when you decrease the heat setting. Fan noise coming from inside. A cooling fan built into your appliance has come on to prevent the electronics from overheating. It may continue to run even after you've turned it off. The appliance or a cooking zone has turned itself off unexpectedly, a tone sounds and an error code is displayed. Technical fault. (typically alternating with one or two digits in the display). This is normal and needs no action. Do not switch the power off while the fan is running.
