Starting The Appliance; Instructions For Use; What Is Induction Cooking; Why Should You Choose Induction - Lotus PCI-94ET Guia Para La Intalación E Instrucciones De Uso

Before using the appliance for the first cooking, it is necessary to clean it carefully, (see paragraph "cleaning and care").
Check the connection of the appliance and start it up following the instructions.
Caution: - always keep an eye on the appliance while it is in use!
- For models PCI-74ET we recommend using flat-based pans, since those with a concave or rounded
base increase the cooking times and use more energy.
Instructions: each plate is connected to a power adjuster which lets you choose between the minimum temperature,
indicated on the knob by the number 1, and the maximum temperature, indicated by 6. For initial
cooking the highest temperatures are advised.
- each plate is equipped with a temperature limit switched which is triggered when the temperature
reached may damage the glass (see the paragraph "what to do in case of problems").
Warning: only use suitable pans (with a ferrite base, i.e.430 steel).

What is induction cooking?

The principle of induction cooking is very simple. When the pan is placed on the pyroceram surface of the hob, it enters
a magnetic field generated by an induction system. The ferrous base of the pan heats up rapidly as molecules rub against
one another, producing heat. The heating speed and intensity can be adjusted by controlling the magnetic field.

Why should you choose induction ?

For Safety, because there are no flames or heat sources that create hazards when the pan is removed from the heat
source. The hob shuts off automatically as soon as the pan is removed
For Speed, because heat is generated directly inside the pan, allowing it to heat up immediately. For the same reason,
the temperature is adjusted immediately, in the same way as gas cooking
For Efficiency, because compared with other types of cooking, induction has very high energy yield, around 85%. This
cooking system also keeps the surrounding area cool and healthy, as there is no heat dispersion, unlike other types of
cooking appliances.
Induction generators only work properly with saucepans with an iron, cast iron or chrome-plated iron base. These pans
may also be enamelled.
The generators accept all the above type of saucepans and adapt in real time to supply the same power.
The pans must have a diameter of between 160 mm and 260 mm.
It is best for the bans to have a flat base.
The generator does not accept unsuitable pans.
Any other product no mentioned in this paragraph should be considered automatically excluded and unsuitable for use
with induction generators.
Switch on the main switch installed above the appliance. Turn the control knob corresponding to the hotplate, from
position "O" to the desired heating level, between 1 and 6.
The light comes on as soon as the appliance is powered. To turn off the hotplate, turn the knob back to position "O".
CAUTION
: The heating zone is heated by the heat emanated by the base of the saucepan. To avoid burns and injury,
do not touch the heating zone.
a) Connect the appliance to the power supply after making sure that the voltage corresponds to that used by the
induction generator and indicated on the manufacturer's plaque.
b) Place the saucepan to be heated in the central of the cooking zone, beneath which the inductors are located.
c) Turn the knob/potentiometer in a clockwise direction
To activate the power supply: the GREEN LED turns on.
Absence of the saucepan: the GREEN LED flashes.
d) Select the desired power using the knob/potentiometer, which will set the power immediately.
When you remove the pan from the inductor for brief periods, it will stop supplying power, and when you replace the
pan the power will be restored immediately at the same level as before. For safety reasons, if the pan is removed for
more than 600 seconds, the induction is switched off completely and will need to be switched back on if the pan is
replaced, restoring the knob/potentiometer to the "OFF" position and then back to the desired power by turning the knob
in a clockwise direction.
