Using induction cooking zones safely and efficiently Operating principles: Induction hob heats directly the cooking vessel as a feature of its operating principles. Therefore, it has various advantages when compared to other hob types. It operates more efficiently and the hob surface does not heat up. Induction hob is equipped with superior safety systems that will provide you maximum usage safety. our hob can be equipped with induction cooking zones with a diameter of 145, 180, 210 mm depending on the model. With induction feature, each cooking zone detects each vessel placed on them. Energy builds up only where the vessel contacts with the cooking zone and thus, minimum energy consumption is achieved. Operation time constraints The hob control is equipped with an operation time limit. When one or more cooking zones are left on, the cooking zone will automatically be deactivated after a certain period of time (see Table-1). If there is a timer assigned to the cooking zone, the timer display will also turn off later. Operation time limit depends on the selected temperature level. Maximum operation time is applied at this temperature level. The cooking zone may be restarted by the user after it is turned off automatically as described above. Table-1: Operation time limits Temperature level Operation time limit hour 0 0 1 6 2 6 3 5 4 5 5 4 6 1,5 7 1,5 8 1,5 9 20 minutes P (Booster) 5 minutes (+) (') The hob will drop to level 9 after 5 minutes Overheating protection Your hob is equipped with some sensors ensuring protection against overheating. Following may be observed in case of overheating: • Active cooking zone may be turned off. • Selected level may drop. However, this condition cannot be seen on the indicator. Overflow safety system Your hob is equipped with overflow safety system. If there is any overflow that spills onto the control panel, system will cut the power connection immediately and turn off your hob. "F" warning appears on display during this period. Precise power setting Induction hob reacts the commands immediately as a feature of its operating principles. It changes the power settings very fast. Thus, you can prevent a cooking pot (containing water, milk and etc.) from overflowing even if it was just about to overflow. Operating noisy Some noises may arise from the induction hob. These sounds are normal and a part of induction cooking. • Noise becomes prominent in high temperature levels. • Alloy of the saucepan can cause noise. • In low levels, a regular on/off sound can be heard because of the operating principles. • Noise can be heard if an empty saucepan is heated. When you put water or food in it, this sound will clear away. • The noise of the fan that cools electric system can be heard. If the surface of the touch control panel is exposed to intense vapor, entire control system may become deactivated and give error signal. Keep the surface of the touch control panel clean. Erroneous operation may be observed. 20/EN
