The Induction Cooker - BORETTI VFPNR-94 AN Mode D'emploi

The Ceramic
Cooktop
The ceramic zones are controlled by knobs with
13 positions. In "0" position, the zone is switched
off. The ceramic zone is activated as soon as a
position between 1 – 12 is selected. If you select
a position, the zone will emanate a red glow and
emit heat to both the pan as well as the ceramic
glass.
Some zones have an extension zone. This can be
activated by turning the knob related to the zone
in question past 12. By turning the knob past 12
again, the extension zone will be switched off.
There is a residual heat indicator lamp for each
zone, which indicates that the zone is hot. The
lamp will continue to burn as long as the zone is
hot, even after it has been switched off.
Important instructions:
Do not leave the cooking zones switched on if no
pot or pan is on them. Avoid temperature chang-
es to the glass ceramic cooktop. For example, do
not pour cold water on a hot cooktop. Make sure
the pan completely covers the cook zone, and that
it is in the middle of the zone.
Avoid contact between sugar, synthetic fabrics
or aluminium foil and the hot glass plate. These
materials could cause damage to the vitroceramic
surface, or even cause it to crack: switch off the
appliance and remove these from the surface im-
mediately (warning: risk of burn injuries!)
You can clean the ceramic cooktop just like any
other glassware, with a soft and moist cloth.
There are special cleaning agents for ceramic
glass plates.

The induction cooker

How induction works
Under each cooking zone is an induction coil.
When the cooking zone is switched on, the coil
produces an electromagnetic field that generates
an energy field in the ferromagnetic bottom of
the pan. The bottom of the pan completes the
magnetic field, causing the pan on the zone to
become warm.
Consider the following before you use an induction
cooker:
Make sure you have magnetic pans (you can test
them with an ordinary magnet). Enamelled pans,
stainless steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms
and cast iron pans all work just fine.
The induction zone automatically adjusts to the
diameter of the pan. If the pan is too small, the
cooking zone will not work. If the pan is not suit-
able for the cooker, [U] will be shown on the dis-
play.
Operation:
By turning the knob clockwise, you can select a
setting between 1 and 9. If you turn the knob past
setting 9, you select the booster setting that pro-
vides extra power to the induction cooker for a
short time. This is handy for browning meat or
quickly bringing water to a boil.
Childlock:
The controls of the induction zones can be blocked.
This can be done by simultaneously turning the
furthest knob to the left and the fifth knob from
the left in an anticlockwise direction, and holding
them there for three seconds. When this is done,
an 'L' should appear on the display.
To release the childlock again, you must once
again turn these two knobs in an anticlockwise
direction and hold for three seconds.
