[. . . ] - Reduced danger of burns as the cooking surface is only heated under the base of the saucepan; foods which overflow do not stick. 4. 1 Layout of the cooking zones Zone Outside diameter (mm) 200 160 Max. absorbed power (W) * 2300 1300 Absorbed power function (W) * 3000 1400 in power * power levels are indicative and can vary according to the pan used or the settings made. 4. 2 Cookware recognition If there is no saucepan on a cooking zone or if the saucepan is too small, no energy will be transmitted. If there is a suitable saucepan on the cooking zone, the recognition system notices it and turns on the hob to the set power level. Energy transmission is also interrupted when the saucepan is removed from the cooking zone (the symbol will flash on the display). If the cookware recognition function is activated in spite of the saucepan or frying pan on the cooking zone being smaller than the zone itself, only the necessary energy will be transmitted. Cookware recognition limits: The minimum diameter of the saucepan base is indicated by a circle inside the cooking zone. Pans with smaller diameters risk not being detected and therefore not activating the inductor. 31 Instructions for the user 4. 3 Cookware suitable for use in induction cooking The containers used on the induction cooking surface must be made of metal, with magnetic properties and a sufficiently large base. Suitable containers Unsuitable containers · Copper, stainless steel, aluminium, fireproof · Enamelled steel cookware with thick bases. · Cookware in multilayer stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel and aluminium with a special base. To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a magnet close to the bottom: if it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If you do not have a magnet, you can put a small amount of water in the pan, place it on a cooking zone and start the hot plate. If the symbol appears on the display, it means the pan is not suitable. Use only cookware with a perfectly flat bottom. Using cookware with an irregular bottom could jeopardise the efficiency of the heating system so that cookware is not detected on the hot plate. 4. 4 Limiting the cooking duration The hob has an automatic device which limits the duration of use. If the cooking zone settings are not changed, the maximum duration of operation of each zone depends on the power level selected. When the device for limiting the duration of use is activated, the cooking zone turns off, a short alert is sounded and if the zone is hot the symbol will show on the display. However, the automatic switch-off function takes precedence over the limitation device; the cooking zone only turns off after the time set for automatic switch-off has elapsed. Set power level 1-2 3-4 5-6 7 8 9 Maximum cooking duration in hours 8 6 5 3 2 1½ 4. 5 Protection from hob overheating If the hob is used on full power for a long period, the electronics will have trouble cooling down if the room temperature is high. To avoid excessively high temperatures forming in the electronics, the power to the cooking zone is reduced automatically. If, during normal use of the hob in normal room temperatures, the code E2 appears frequently, this means that cooling is probably insufficient. This may be caused by insufficient cooling slots or the lack of appropriate screening. If necessary, check the installation. 32 Instructions for the user 4. 6 Advice on energy-saving Below you will find advice on how to use your hob effectively and economically. · The diameter of the base of the saucepan must correspond to the diameter of the cooking zone. [. . . ] The minimum distance between a ventilation hood and the cooking surface must be at least the distance indicated in the ventilation hood installation instructions. The minimum distances must also be respected for the edges of the hob on the back as indicated in the mounting illustrations. 8. 2 Section cut from the work surface The following operation requires building and/or carpentry work and must therefore be carried out by a competent tradesman. Installation can be carried out on various materials such as masonry, metal, solid wood or plastic laminated wood as long as they are heat resistant (T 90°C). Create an opening in the counter top with the dimensions shown in the figure, keeping a minimum distance A from the rear edge. [. . . ]
