5. Installation

5.1 Positioning



Unpack the device and remove all package materials according to the valid environment protection regulations.

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 that allow for air to circulate around 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.



Never place the device in humid or wet environment.



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 power supply circuit with the socket must be protected by the fuse of at least 16A.

Connect the device directly to a single grounded socket. Do not use any power bar or multiple socket.

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.

6.2 Suitable and unsuitable cookware

Suitable cookware o Iron cookware; o Enameled iron cookware; o Steel or enameled iron pots / pans; o Cast iron pots / pans; o Stainless steel 18/0 and aluminum cookware, if they are marked as suitable for induction cookers (pay attention to the description of the cookware).

Due to the particular nature of the induction field, the cookware must have a plane magnetic bottom

(a magnet must stick to it).

We recommend only pots/pans with the bottom diameter between 12 cm and 26 cm for better results. >

12 cm e.g.

Bartscher Induction cookware, 9-piece cooking pot set chromiumnickel steel ● edge suitable for pouring ● cold handles

4 pots with lid 1 pan

2.0 litres ● Ø 16 cm ● height 10.0 cm

2.7 litres ● Ø 18 cm ● height 11.0 cm

5.1 litres ● Ø 24 cm ● height 11.5 cm

6.1 litres ● Ø 20 cm ● height 20.0 cm

Code-No.: A130442

2.8 litres ● Ø 24 cm ● height 6.5 cm

- 37 -

Unsuitable cookware o Cookware with a convex bottom; o Aluminium, bronze or copper cookware. The exception is cookware clearly labeled as suitable for induction cookers; o Pots / pans with a diameter less than 12 cm; o Cookware with feet; o Ceramic cookware; o Glass cookware.

CAUTION!

Please use only the cookware marked suitable for induction cooker.

If the induction hotplate detects too great a separation from the magnetizing container, it will cause a reduction in power. This may cause the overheating prevention device to malfunction. For this reason, do not use aluminum, bronze or non-metallic containers.

6.3 Operation



Before the first use, thoroughly clean the device according to the instructions in section 7 “Cleaning” .



Place the appropriate cookware with food in the middle of the hob.

CAUTION!

Never place empty pans on the hob.

Warming up an empty pot or frying pan activates the overheating protection system; an error acoustic signal sounds and the device turns off. The digital display shows “E2”.

Remove the cookware from the hob and leave the device for a few minutes to cool down. Then, you may start using the device again as usual.
