[. . . ] Important Notes For your safety Do not operate the appliance if it is damaged. The appliance must only be connected by an authorised specialist, paying attention to the relevant regulations of the power supply companies and the regional construction regulations. When connecting electrical appliances in the proximity of the cooktop, make sure that connecting cables do not come into contact with hot cooking surfaces. Wait until the residual heat display goes off before taking the wok stand away. [. . . ] The cooling fan of the induction unit may go on and off during operation. Please note: the induction cooking zone does not emit any warmth after being switched off. Indicator light The indicator light on the display panel lights, as long as the cooking zone is switched on. Pot recognition The indicator light on the display panel flashes and the cooking zone does not operate, if no pan or an unsuitable receptacle (too small, non-magnetic) has been placed on the cooking zone. Residual heat display Although induction-cooking plates do not reach the same high temperatures as traditional cooking plates, they can remain hot after cooking when used over long periods of time through contact with the heated receptacle. After switching off the indicator light will flash, as long as the cooking zone has not cooled down sufficiently to be touched safely. Note: the duration of the residual heat display is based on the length of the operation and the cooking power level. The residual heat display may still flash for some time despite cooling down, depending on the food and the size of the cooking receptacle.

The heat required depends not only on the type and condition of the food, but also the size and contents of the pot. The settings table is based on normal household cooking utensils (for 4 people). A higher setting may be necessary for larger cooking utensils with large quantities of food. 8 5. Suitable cooking receptacles and how to use them Only ferromagnetic receptacles are suitable for cooking by Induction. To see if your receptacles are suitable, make sure that they are attracted to a magnet. Receptacles made of enamelled steel, cast iron or special stainless-steel receptacles (designed for cooking by induction) can all be used. Do not use receptacles made of thin normal steel or glass, earthenware, copper or aluminium. When a cooking receptacle is made of unsuitable material or is too small for the cooking zone, then the cooking zone does not operate and the indicator light on the display panel flashes. No energy is wasted, even if the cooking zone is not completely covered by the pan. Energy saving tips We recommend that you use high quality pots and pans with thick flat bases. Proceed as follows: ­ Pour sufficient oil into the wok to coat the surface. ­ Heat up the oil to just before the smoking point; only then begin with stir frying. ­ Cut the food into pieces of equal size, but not too small, thus making sure they do not burn. ­ If you are cooking large quantities, fry in portions as otherwise not all the food will reach the hot base of the wok. 10 7.
