TEMPERATURE CURVE
Due to the following characteristics the operator must be
more attentive when using the induction cooker than would
be required with other appliances.
The heat storage capacity of this system is very low. If the
heating level is changed by pushing the / keys, the
food is immediately exposed to a different temperature. Do
not put empty pans on the glass ceramic cooking zone, first
put grease or liquid into the pan and start cooking process
after that. Empty pans and pots will heat up very quickly.
Adjust carefully the heating level to the required cooking
mode adjusting the temperature with / keys.
OPERATION Continued
The pan should always remain in the center of the heating
area, otherwise the bottom of the pan is heated unequally
and the food inside the pan may burn. When heating oil or
grease, constantly check the pan to prevent oil and grease
from overheating and burning.
Comfort
The cooker only transmits energy if a pan is
placed on the heating area, independently of the
position of the control knob. If you take the pan
away from the heating area, power transfer stops
immediately. If the pan is put back on the heating
are, the selected power will be transferred to the
pan again.
After switching the cooker to the OFF position the
cooking process will stop.
Cooking Process With Temperature Probe
You can use the temperature probe to set and control the
operation of the unit when cooking sauces, soups, creams etc.
Temperature control
The temperature probe can be fixed with the holding device
at the pan and put into the liquid, then connect the probe
plug into the receptacle. You can now choose the required
temperature for cooking or keeping warm by using the
/ keys. Pressing on the temperature key will show the
actual temperature.
When finished with the temperature probe, disconnect
it completely and stop the induction unit by pressing the
“OFF/ON” key.
Hold Function
The hold function can be used as simple keeping warm
function. The temperature control is done by the sensing
element that is placed directly under the Ceran plate. You
can choose the required temperature by pressing on /
keys.
