Introduction
We are pleased you decided in favour of this superior induction cooking plate and would like to thank you for your
confidence. Its easy operation and wide range of applications will certainly fill you with enthusiasm as well. To
make sure you can enjoy using this appliance for a long time, please read through the following notes carefully and
observe them. Keep this instruction manual safe. Hand out all documents to third persons when passing on the
appliance. Thank you.
As the pot bottom is heated instantaneously, induction cooking is very energy-saving (saves up to 50 % in
comparison with other cooking methods).
The induction cooktop generates or interrupts the heat supply immediately after the activation of the control.
This efficient energy utilization allows for exact control of the heat supply and is furthermore time-saving in the
cooking process.
A further amount of time is saved on account of the extreme speed by which energy is available after switch-on.
No waiting times! For instance, when heating 2 l of water you will be 60 %quicker than you are on conventional
cooktops!
Induction cooking provides for extra safety: Even when the cooking utensils are removed from the cooktop
without having turned it off, the heating process is interrupted automatically. In case a cloth or another
combustible material should be placed on the cooktop by accident, it cannot burn even if the cooktop has been
activated. After the cooking process, nothing but the residual heat emitted by the pot is noticeable on the glass
ceramic plate.
The cooking surface is very easy to clean. As it is not heated directly, leftovers cannot scorch. Neither do you
have to wait for it to cool before cleaning.
Suitable: any flat-bottomed (12 – 23 cm in diameter) cooking utensils made of iron, such as enameled pots,
pots made of cast iron or of magnetic stainless steel. The very short response times to setting changes (short
pre-heating time, quick disable searing) are at thick pot bottoms only possible to a limited extent.
Unsuitable: any cooking utensils consisting of aluminum, copper, glass or ceramic, as well as any pots having
a pot diameter of less than 12 cm.
Tip: Check by means of a magnet whether the pot bottom is suitable. If the magnet clings to the outside of the pot
bottom, the vessel is qualified for induction cooking.

Only use pots or pans suitable for induction cooking, i. e. cooking utensils that are made of ferromagnetic
material. Always keep the glass ceramic surface and the pot bottom clean and dry.
Do not leave any food in aluminum foil on the glass ceramic surface, nor cutlery, pot lids or other objects made
of metal as those might become hot.
Never use oven sprays or stain removers for cleaning! Special cleaning agents for the glass plate are available
on the market.
Avoid scratches on the glass plate caused by pointed or sharp objects. Protect the glass plate against breakage
by falling objects.
Touching the sensor with your finger activates the relevant function and an acoustic acknowledgment signal.
NOTE: Always keep the control panel clean and dry. Do not touch it with fingers wet and do not use it as a shelf of
deposit as this might lead to malfunctions.
If the temperature of the cooking zone has reached a value of more than 80 °C due to the waste heat emitted
by the pot, the LED “heat” (8a) will glow.
As soon as the temperature has dropped below 80 °C or the appliance is disconnected from the mains, the LED
“heat” (8a) goes out.
Pot recognition
Each cooking zone features a sensor that recognizes whether there is a vessel on the cooking zone.
If no suitable vessel is recognized on the cooking zone after switch-on, the display (4) will show “E0” and an
alternate warning signal will sound. If no pot is recognized within 60 seconds, the appliance will switch
automatically into standby mode.
If a pot is removed from the cooking zone during operation, the display (4) will show “E0” and an alternate
warning signal will sound. If a pot is re-placed within 60 seconds, the cooking process will continue with the
level last set and an operating time that might have been set before will continue to run. However, if no pot is
recognized within 60 seconds, the appliance will switch automatically into standby mode.
Fan
After switch-on an inside fan starts working, which cools the interior parts of the appliance in order to prevent the
appliance from overheating. It is normal for the fan to continue running in the standby mode after a long operation
time.
The operating time restriction will cause the cooktop to switch automatically in the standby mode if the settings
have not been changed for a period of 2 hours. This happens independently of the respectively set level.
After an automatic switch-off the cooking plate can be turned on once again and the maximum operating time
will be active again.
In case the operating time (timer) is set for a period of more than 2 hours, this setting takes priority. The
appliance switches off automatically after the set time has elapsed.
Priority regulation
Although any other sensor is still activated, the appliance may be brought to standby mode at any time during
operation by touching the associated main switch sensor.
Switching-on
For switching-on touch the main switch (1). The display (4) shows “00“ and the LEDs “power“ (7) and “temp“ (6)
are flashing.
Now decide on the cooking mode you would like to work with (either “power level“ or “temperature level“).
NOTE: If there is no further activation within 60 seconds after switch-on, the control will switch back to the standby
mode.
For cooking in the “power level” mode touch the “power“ sensor (7). The appliance automatically switches to
the power level “06“. The display (4) shows “06“ and the LED “power“ (8b) is lit continuously.
NOTE: In case the appliance had not been separated from the mains after its previous use the display shows,
as a suggestion, the power lever as lastly set.
By touching the “+“ sensor (3) you can increase the power up to level 10.
By touching the “-“ sensor (5) you can reduce the power down to level 01.
By default the “power level” mode is displayed by the figures “01” to “10”. By simultaneously touching the “+” and
“-“ sensors for 3 seconds the display switches over to show the power values instead of the power levels; this
means for example that “100” is displayed instead of “01” and “800” instead of “06” etc.. This format is valid until
the user will set it back. The selected display format remains saved also after switch-off. Only after pulling the
mains plug or a cut-off from the mains there is a reset of the control to the default format with the figures “01” to
“10”.
NOTE: The temperature at the bottom of the cookware is checked by a sensor in the center of the cooking zone.
The regulation will only function properly if the cookware covers this area. The cookware should have a flat and
not too thick bottom to ensure a good heat transfer. The maximum tolerable temperature for the “power level”
mode is 200 °C.
Cooking in “temperature level” mode
The “temperature level” mode is ideal for roasting, grilling or frying.
For cooking with the “temperature level“ mode touch sensor “temp“(6).
The appliance automatically switches to temperature level “120 °C“. The display (4) shows “120“, the LED
”temp“ (8c) is lit continuously.
NOTE: In case the appliance had not been separated from the mains after its previous use the display shows,
as a suggestion, the power lever as lastly set.
By touching the “+“ sensor (3) you can increase the temperature up to 240 °C.
By touching the “-“ sensor (5) you can reduce the temperature down to 60 °C.
level 01 60 °C
level 02 80 °C
level 03 100 °C
level 04 120 °C
level 05 140 °C
level 06 160 °C
level 07 180 °C
level 08 200 °C
level 09 220 °C
level 10 240 °C
NOTE: The temperature at the bottom of the cookware is checked by a sensor in the centre of the cooking zone.
The regulation will only function properly if the cookware covers this area. The cookware should have a flat and
not too thick bottom to ensure a good heat transfer. The maximum tolerable temperature for the “temperature
level” mode is 240 °C.
During operation in the “power level” mode touch the sensor “temp“ (6) for changing to the “temperature level”
mode.
During operation in the “temperature level” mode touch the sensor “power“ (7) for changing to the “power level”
mode.
NOTE: If there is no further activation within 5 seconds after activating the operating time, the control will switch
back to the normal cooking mode without timer.
By touching the “+“ sensor (3) you can increase the operating time in minute intervals up to 3 hours (180
minutes).
By touching the “-“ sensor (5) you can reduce the operating time in minute intervals.
By continuously pressing the “+“ sensor (3) or “-“ sensor (5) you can increase or reduce the operating time in
10-minute intervals.
Starting with the “-“ sensor (5) the display commences with “3:00“ (180 minutes). By touching this sensor again
you can reduce the operating time.
On the display (4) the adjusted operating time e. g. “1:15” (1 hour, 15 minutes) is indicated. About 5 seconds after
setting the timer the display switches back to the initial function. When touching the senor “timer” (2) again, the
display (4) shows the active remaining operation time for approximately 5 seconds; now the timer can also be
adjusted once again. Once the set time has elapsed there is a short audible signal and the control automatically
switches over to standby mode.
NOTE: Changing the power or temperature level will not affect the time set.
Setting the operating time (timer) – reset function
Touching the “timer” sensor (2) for 3 seconds during active operating time mode (timer), the timer display gets
reset to the value “0:00” and the set time is not active any more. In this case there will be no automatic switch-off
and the appliance keeps on working.
Switching-off
For switching-off touch the main switch (1). The display (4) shows “OFF“.
Now the control is in standby mode.
NOTE:
If the waste heat of the pot creates a temperature on the cooking zone of more than 80 °C the LED “heat” (8a)
is lit. As soon as the temperature has sunk below 80 °C, respectively the unit is disconnected from the mains
the LED “heat” (8a) expires.
: It is normal for the fan to continue running in the standby mode after a long operation time.
OUR ADVICE: Electrical appliances featuring a standby mode consume some power also in a non-operating
state. Save energy by disconnecting your appliance from the mains after the fan has stopped or during non-use
periods by pulling the mains plug.
Before cleaning always disconnect the unit from the mains!Let the appliance cool down before cleaning!
Remove any coarse residues from the glass ceramic plate by means of a special glass scraper, which is
available in the specialized trade and in household equipment shops.
Following that clean the cold glass surface with a damp cloth and some dishwater and wipe it dry with a clean
cloth or kitchen tissue. On the market there are suitable cleaning agents for glass ceramic cooktops available
with which the whole glass surface is treated by means of a kitchen tissue until there is no soiling visible
anymore. Never immerse the appliance into water and do not use steam jet appliances.
Make sure no water or steam may infiltrate the appliance from below either.
Never use abrasives, steel wool or sharp, scratchy objects.
If there is any dirt visible in the area of the ventilation slots, it can be removed from the outside by means of a
vacuum cleaner.
