5. Installation

5.1 Positioning

 Before the operation unpack the device and remove all package material.

CAUTION! Never remove the rating plate and any warning signs from the device.

 Place the device on top of an even, stable, dry, and water-resistant surface which supports the weight of the device and is not heat sensitive.  

Never

place the device on a flammable surface.

Do not

place the device near an open flame, electric oven or other source of heat.  Do not block or cover the ventilation ducts the device. Doing so may lead to overheating of the device.  Keep a distance of at least 5 – 10 cm from flammable walls and other objects.  Do not place the induction plate near other equipment and objects sensitive to magnetic fields (e.g. radio, television, etc.).  Place the device so that the plug is easily accessible and can be quickly removed from its socket in case of necessity.

5.2 Electric connection

DANGER! Electric shock hazard! The device can cause injuries due to improper installation! Before installation the local power grid specification should be compared with that of the device (see type label). Connect the device only in case of compliance! The device must only be connected to a properly installed single socket with protective contact.

 The electrical circuit of the socket must be secured to at least 16A. Only connect the device to a wall outlet; do not use any extension cords or power strips. - 33 -

6. Operation

6.1 Functionality of induction cookers

With induction cooker, an electric voltage is applied on a conductor spool beneath the glass. This creates magnetic fields, which directly heat up the bottom of the cookware through a physical effect. This means saving time and energy, because contrary to common hotplates, the cookware is heated up, not the heating element and the glass. Due to the technical characteristics described above, another advantage is the very short start-up cooking time. In addition, the heat supply promptly adapts to changed settings and can be controlled in small steps. The induction cooker reacts to changed settings just as fast as a gas stove, as the energy reaches the pot immediately without having to heat up other materials first. The induction technology combines this fast reaction with the basic advantage of electricity, meaning being able to exactly adjust the heat supply.

Additional advantages of an induction cooker:

 As the cooking zone is only heated up indirectly via the bottom of the cookware, over spilling food cannot stick. The glass cooking zone is only heated up by the hot cookware.  If the device is turned on and no dish for cooking is present or is removed, a repeating audio signal will sound and the device will turn itself off after approx. 30 seconds.  The device will detect if the appropriate cookware is placed on the heating plate. If the cookware is not appropriate for induction hotplates, energy will not flow. The device will turn off after approx. 30 seconds.  When operating the cooking zone with empty cookware, a temperature sensor turns it off automatically. - 34 -

6.2 Appropriate cookware

For cooking on the table top induction wok, use only

round

woks made of steel, stainless steel or other material if the cookware possesses markings indicating that

it is appropriate for induction appliances

(proceed in accordance with the cookware’s description).

NOTE! To function properly, pans used must have a magnetic bottom (the magnet must be attached to the pan). If the induction wok sets too high a deviation in comparison to the magnetized container, power will be lost which may result in malfunctioning of overheating protection. For this reason, do not use cookware made of aluminum, bronze or any non-metallic cookware. Ex. Bartscher wok

 Stainless steel  Stay-cool handles: stick handle and counter grip  Capacity: 6 litres  Size: Ø 360 mm, H 110 mm (height including lid: 215 mm)  Weight: 2.85 kg  Stainless steel lid included

Code-No. 105981 6.3 Operation

 Before the first use of the device, clean it according to the instructions in section

7 “Cleaning “

.

 Connect the device to a single grounded socket. A sound will be heard and the

ON

indicator light will come on

.

The device is in the

Standby

mode now

.

 Place an appropriate wok with food on the concave cooking surface.  To switch the device on, press the

ON/OFF

button . - 35 -

CAUTION! Never place cookware without food to be heated. Heating an empty pot or pan will activate overheating protection, an alarm will sound, and the device will switch off. The digital display will show error message “E02“. Remove the cookware from the cooking zone. Disconnect the device from its socket and leave to cool for several minutes. The device will continue functioning without problems Settings NOTE! To stew or parboil food (max. temperature 170 °C) select one of the power levels (1-10). To bake or fry food in grease (max. temperature 240 °C) choose one of the temperature levels (60 °C - 240 °C). Power mode

 After pressing the

ON/OFF

button the device activates in the power mode. The factory-set power level

“5”

will appear on the digital display. Using the buttons or moment within the range of the power level can be changed at any (500 – 3500 W) . The LED indicator light will come on for the power levels and the digital display will show the selected power level. Power level 1 corresponds to 500 W, and level 10 corresponds to 3500 W of power.

Temperature mode

 To leave the power mode, press the function key mode) to enter the temperature mode. (for power or temperature The device will switch to the factory-set

temperature of 120 °C

which is then displayed on the digital display. The LED temperature indicator light ( ) will come on. Using the buttons or range from 60 °C to 240 °C. the temperature can be changes within a - 36 -

Possible temperature settings:

60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200, 220 and 240 °C.

 The device starts heating the food and maintains a constant temperature. Power is automatically adjusted.

Time setting

 After selecting the device’s working mode (power level or temperature range) press . The digital display will show the number

„0“

and the LED indicator light will come on . Using the buttons or the device can be set to function for up to 30 minutes at 1-minutes intervals, and then at 10-minutes intervals (up to 180 minutes at the maximum).  The time is counted down by the minute, while the digital display returns to the previous indications after a few seconds ( or ).  After the set time has expired, a signal will be heard and the device automatically switches to

Standby

mode. The cooling fan for electronics will continue working for approx. 1 minute.

NOTE! During the operation the time settings may be changed at any moment using the buttons or . Thanks to the memory of the device, the previously set power or temperature remains unchanged. This way, the power level or temperature settings can be changed without changing the time settings. The device operates then based on the recently entered data. NOTE! The induction wok switches off automatically, if no time setting is selected within 2 hours, or if the time is set for more than 120 minutes.

 After finishing the cooking or heating, remove the device’s plug from the socket

(do not rely on pan detection function)!
