Hob surface is completely flat and smooth, without edges to accumulate dirt.
• The hob is fitted with high power induction hotplates. Heat is generated directly at the
bottom of the dish, where it is most needed, without any losses through the ceramic
glass surface.
This way the required extent of energy is considerably smaller compared to traditional
heaters, which operate on radiation principle.
• Glass ceramic hotplate is not heated directly, but only by return heat transmitted by the
dish. This heat figures as "remaining heat" after the hotplate is turned off. The induction
hotplate generates heat from the induction coil, installed underneath the ceramic glass
surface. The coil creates magnetic field at the bottom of the dish (which can me
magnetized) which in turn originates whirling fl ows of current which then heat the
hotplate.

IMPORTANT!

In case sugar or other heavily sweetened substance is spilled on the hotplate, wipe it
immediately and remove the sugar residues with a scraper although the cooking zone is
still hot, otherwise the hotplate may be damaged.
Avoid cleaning the cooktop while the cooking zones are still hot, as you may damage the
hob.
• Induction hotplate will function perfectly only if appropriate cookware is used.
• Dish should be in the middle of the hotplate during cooking.
• The appropriate cookware is the one which enables induction, for example steel,
enamel or steel alloy cookware. Pots made from steel alloy with copper or aluminium
bottom, or glass pots are inappropriate.
• If you use the pressure cooker ("economy pot") keep it under close surveillance until
proper pressure is obtained. Hotplate should fi rst operate on maximum power, then
follow the manufacturer's instructions and use the appropriate sensor to decrease the
power.
• When buying cookware, check if it bears the label "allows induction".

Magnet test
Use small magnet to test if the dish bottom is magnetic. Only dishes where magnet sticks
to the bottom are suitable for induction cooking.
Dish recognition
One of great advantages of the induction hotplate is dish recognition. Even if there are no
dishes upon the hotplate, or the dish diameter is smaller than the diameter of the relevant
hotplate, there are no thermal energy losses. When the hotplate is on, the power indicator
displays letter "U". If you place the dish over that hotplate within the following 1 minute,
the hotplate recognizes the dish and turns on to the preset power value.
At the moment you remove the dish from the hotplate, power is suspended. If you place
smaller dish upon the hotplate and it is recognized, the hotplate will only use the amount
of energy required to heat the dish according to its size.
Hotplate may be damaged if:
• it is turned on and left empty, or an empty dish is placed on it;
• you use clay dishes which leave scratches on the ceramic glass surface;
• you fail to wipe the dish bottom dry prior placing it on the ceramic glass hotplate; heat
induction is obstructed and the hotplate may be damaged;
• you fail to use the appropriate dishes that can be magnetized: steel dishes, enamel or
steel alloy dishes; induction hotplate will not function otherwise.
Heating power of the hotplates may be set at nine different levels.
The following chart indicates illustrative use of each power setting.
Power
Purpose
Setting
0 Off, using remaining heat
1-2 Maintaining warm food, slow simmer of smaller quantities
3 Slow simmer (continuation of cooking after a powerful start-up)
4-5 Slow cooking (continuation) of larger quantities, roasting larger chunks
6 Roasting, browning
7-8 Roasting
9 Start of cooking, roasting
P Especially powerful setting for extremely large quantities of food
