Pelgrim IKR8083F Induction Hob with Extractor

Pictograms usedIntroduction

This hob has been designed for the real lover of cooking. Cooking on an induction hob has a number of advantages. It is easy, because the hob reacts quickly and can also be set to a very low cooking level. Because, moreover, it can also be set to a high cooking level, it can bring dishes to the boil very quickly. The ample space between the cooking zones makes cooking comfortable. Cooking on an induction hob is different from cooking on a traditional appliance. Induction cooking makes use of a magnetic field to generate heat. This means that you cannot use just any pan on it. The pans section gives more information about this. For optimum safety the induction hob is equipped with several temperature protections and a residual heat indicator, which shows which cooking zones are still hot. This manual describes how you can make the best possible use of the induction hob. In addition to information about operation, you will also find background information that can assist you in using this product. You will also find cooking tables and maintenance tips. Read the manual thorougly before using the appliance, and store these instructions in a safe place for future reference. The manual also serves as reference material for service technicians. Please, therefore,
stick the appliance identification card in the space provided, at the back of the manual. The appliance identification card contains all the information that the service technician will need in order to respond appropriately to your needs and questions.

Enjoy your cooking!

Indications in the display

SAFETY

Before use, read the separate safety instructions first!

Temperature safety

A sensor continuously measures the temperature of certain parts of the hob. Every cooking zone is equipped with a sensor that measures the temperature of the bottom of the pan to avoid any risk of overheating when a pan boils dry. In case of temperatures rising too high, the cooking level is reduced automatically or the hob switches Off automatically.

Cooking-time limiter

The cooking-time limiter is a safety function of your cooking appliance. It will operate if you forget to switch Off your hob. Depending on the cooking level you have chosen, the cooking time will be limited as follows:

Cooking level	Maximum operating time ( in hours, minutes)
1	8 h 36 min
2	6 h 42 min
3	5 h 18 min
4	4 h 18 min
5	3 h 30 min
6	2 h 18 min
7	2 h 18 min
8	1 h 48 min
9	1 h 30 m
P (boost)	5 min (than switch to setting 9)

USE

Induction noises

A ticking sound

• This is caused by the capacity limiter on the left and right zones. Ticking can also occur at lower cooking levels.

Pans are making noise

• Pans can make some noise during cooking. This is caused by the energy flowing from the hob to the saucepan. At high levels, this is perfectly normal for some pans. It will not damage either the pans or the hob.

The fan is making noise

• To enlarge the lifespan of the electronics, the appliance is equipped with a fan. If you use the appliance intense, the fan is activated to cool down the appliance and you will hear abuzzing sound. The fan runs on for several minutes after the hob has been switched Off.

Pans

Always place a pan in the middle of a cooking zone. In linked mode always use a (fish) pan where both the center/middle positions of the linked cooking zones are covered.

Pans for induction cooking

Induction cooking requires a particular quality of pan.

Pans that have already been used for cooking on a gas hob are no longer suitable for use on an induction hob.

• Only use pans that are suitable for electric and induction cooking with:
  • A thick base (minimum 2.25 mm);
  • A flat base.

You can check for yourself whether your pans are suitable using a magnet. A pan is suitable if the base of the pan is attracted by the magnet.

Suitable	Unsuitable
Special stainless steel pans	Earthenware
Class Induction	Stainless steel
Hard-wearing enameled pans	Porcelain
Enameled cast-iron pans	Copper / Aluminum
	Plastic

Be careful with enamelled sheet-steel pans! The enamel may chip (the enamel comes loose from the steel), if you switch the hob on at a high level when the pan is (too) dry; the base of the pan may warp – due, for example, to overheating or to the use of a too high cooking level.

• Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded base can interfere with the operation of the overheating protection, so that the appliance becomes too hot. This may lead to the glass top cracking and the pan base melting. Damage arising from the use of unsuitable pans or from boiling dry is excluded from the guarantee.

Minimum pan diameter

• The diameter of the bottom of the pan must be at least 12 cm and max. 22 cm. You will achieve the best results by using a pan with the same diameter as the zone. If a pan is too small, the zone will not work.
• The length of a fish-pan (oval pan), used on linked cooking zones, must be at least 22 cm.

Pressure cookers

• Induction cooking is very suitable for cooking in pressure cookers. The cooking zone reacts very quickly, and so the pressure cooker is quickly up to pressure. As soon as you switch
  A cooking zone Off, the cooking process stops immediately.

Cooking setting

The cooking zones have 9 levels. Beside it there is a ‘boost’ level (P). Set the cooking level by touch and slide over the selection bar. At the first touch, the level is set according to the part of the selection bar that you touch. By slide over the selection bar, the cooking setting is changed. By move to the right, the level increases, while moving to the left decreases the level. When you move your finger away from the selection bar, the cooking zone starts to operate at the level set.

Boost function

• You can use the ‘boost’ function to cook at the highest cooking level during a short period of time (max. 5 minutes). After the maximum boost time the power will be reduced to setting 9.
• The Boost function is not available when cooking zones are linked!

Boost power management

Cooking zones are networked in pairs (both left and both right cooking zones) to supply the power for the Boost function. When the Boost function is selected, a proportion of energy is taken away from the paired cooking zone and the following happens within the pairs:

• Auto heat-up is deactivated.
• The cooking setting is reduced. The paired cooking zone can be set to level 5.
• The cooking zone, which is set to a lower cooking level, will be flashing in the display.

Pan detection

If the hob does not detect a (ferrous) pan after a pan is placed on a cooking zone, the pan detection symbol flash in the display. After 10 seconds ‘no pan’ detection the cooking zone switches Off.

Cooking levels

Because the settings depend on the quantity and composition of the contents of the pan, the table below is intended as a guideline only.

Use setting ‘boost’ to:

• bring the food or liquid to the boil quickly;
• ‘shrink’ greens;
• heat oil and fat;
• wok.

Use setting 9 to:

• sear meats;
• cook fish;
• cook omelettes;
• fry boiled potatoes;
• deep fry foods.

Use setting 7 and 8 to:

• fry thick pancakes;
• fry thick slices of breaded meat;
• fry bacon (fat);
• cook raw potatoes;
• make French toast;
• fry breaded fish;
• cook through pasta;
• fry thin slices of (breaded) meat.

Use setting 4-6 to:

• complete the cooking of large quantities;
• defrost hard vegetables;
• fry thick slices of breaded meat.

Use settings 1-3 to:

• simmer bouillon;
• stew meats;
• simmer vegetables;
• melt chocolate;
• poach;
• melt cheese.

Use of the downdraft

Preferably cook with a lid on the pan; this reduces cooking odors and energy consumption. An (internal) recirculation filter that is too moist due to water vapour also reduces the effectiveness of the recirculation filter.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Daily cleaning

• Although food spills cannot burn into the glass, we nevertheless recommend you to clean the hob immediately after use.
• Best for daily cleaning is a damp cloth with a mild cleaning agent.
• Dry with kitchen paper or a dry teacloth.

Stubborn stains

• Stubborn stains can also be removed with a mild cleaning agent such as washing-up liquid.
• Remove watermarks and lime scale with vinegar.
• Metalmarks (caused by sliding pans) can be difficult to remove. Special agents are available.
• Use a glass scraper to remove food spills. Melted plastic and sugar is also best removed with a glass scraper.

Never use abrasives. They leave scratches in which dirt and lime scale can accumulate. Never use anything sharp such as steel wool or scourers.

Water collector

It is recommended to check and empty the water collector every two weeks.

Cleaning the grid, grease filter and internal recirculation filters
Attention; there are different models that do not have internal recirculation filters (see ‘Maintenance / Cleaning the grid and grease filter’).

1. Remove the grid from the extraction inlet.
2. Carefully pull the grease filter out of the extraction inlet

• Clean the grid with hot water and neutral soap, without using abrasive sponges (do not use detergents!).
• Clean the grease filter at least every 2 months (or when the filter saturation indication system indicates this necessity. This will maintain good performance of the extractor and prevent a potential fire hazard, caused by excessive grease build-up.
• Clean the filter with a non-aggressive detergent, preferably by hand, or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle.

Internal recirculation filters

• These recirculation filters are regenerable and require periodic maintenance.
• The recirculation filters should be washed every 3 to 4 months without detergent. After a maximum of 8 maintenance times, the filters should be replaced.
• The recirculation filters can be washed in the sink with hot water or can be placed in the dishwasher on a fast wash cycle, without any other dishes (to avoid the presence of fats or oils) and at a recommended temperature of up to 70 °C.
• The recirculation filters can be dried in an oven with top and bottom heat at a temperature of up to 70 °C for 2 hours.

Cleaning the grid and grease filter (external recirculation filters)

1. Remove the grid from the extraction inlet.
2. Carefully pull the grease filter out of the extraction inlet.

• Clean the grid with hot water and neutral soap, without using abrasive sponges (do not use detergents!).
• Clean the grease filter at least every 2 months (or when the filter saturation indication system indicates this necessity. This will maintain good performance of the extractor and prevent a potential fire hazard, caused by excessive grease build-up.
• Clean the filter with a non-aggressive detergent, preferably by hand, or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle.

Odour filter (recirculation use)

If you use a filter unit installed in the kitchen plinth: replace the odour filter, depending on the intensity of use, every year (or when the saturation indicator indicates this). To do this, order replacement filter HF3006. When inserting the new filter, pay attention to the arrow that indicates the direction of the airflow.
Attention: please note that these filters are not regenerable and should be disposed of with residual waste after use.

TROUBLESHOOTING
