5 How to use the hob
5.1 General information on hob usage
General warnings
• Do not let any objects to fall on the hob.
Even small objects such as saltshakers
may damage the hob. Do not use
cracked hobs. Water may seep through
these cracks and cause a short circuit. If
the surface is damaged in any way (e.g.
visible cracks), turn off the fuse first,
then call the authorized service to un-
plug the product to reduce the risk of
electric shock.
• Do not use unbalanced and easily tilting
pots/pans on the hob.
• Do not heat the pots/pans and pots
empty. The pots and the appliance may
be damaged.
• Always turn off the hob's burners after
each use.
• You shall damage the appliance if you
operate the hobs without any pot or
pots/pans. Always turn off the hobs after
each operation.
• After each use the cooking surface will
be hot, so do not put the plastic pots/
pans on the cooking surface. Clean such
material on the surface immediately.
• Sudden temperature changes on the
glass cooking surface may cause dam-
age, be careful not to spill cold liquids
during cooking.
• Put a sufficient amount of food in pots
and pans. Thus, you can prevent food
from pouring forth out of the pots/pans
and will not need to clean unnecessarily.
NOTICE: Some detergents or cleaning
agents may cause damage to the surface.
Do not use abrasive detergents, cleaning
powders, cleaning creams or sharp objects
during cleaning.
NOTICE: During the first use, smoke and
odour may come up for several hours. This
is normal and you just need good ventila-
tion to remove it. Avoid directly inhaling
the smoke and odours that form.
• Do not place the covers of pots and pans
on burners/zones.
• Place the pots by centering them on the
burners/zones. If you wish to place a pot
on a different burner/zone, do not slide it
towards the desired burner; rather, lift it
first and then put it on the other burner.
Operating principle of the induction hob
Induction hob is like an open circuit. The
circuit completes when a cooking pots/
pans suitable for induction cooking is
placed on it and an electronic system be-
low the glass surface generates a mag-
netic field. The metal base of the pots/
pans is heated by taking energy from this
magnetic field. Thus, the heat is not gener-
ated on the surface of the hob, but directly
on the pots/pans above it. Glass surface is
heated with the heat of the cooking pots/
pans.
Advantages of cooking with induction
Induction hobs offer some advantages as
the heat is transferred directly to the cook-
ing pots/pans.
• Foods that overflow during cooking do
not burn rapidly as the glass cooking
surface is not heated directly. It is
cleaned more easily.
• Cooking shall be faster as the heat is
generated directly on the cooking pots/
pans. Thus, it saves time and energy
with respect to other hob types.
• As the heat is given directly to the cook-
ing pots/pans, there is no heat loss, and
it provides a more efficient cooking.
