User manual HOOVER A2142

[. . . ] After every use, some cleaning of the hob is necessary to prevent the build up of dirt and grease. If left, this is recooked when the hob is used and burns giving off smoke and unpleasant smells, not to mention the risks of fire propagation. ⷠDo not left metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons or lids on the induction zone, because if they are too large or too heavy, they could become hot. ⷠNever cook food directly on the glass ceramic hob. [. . . ] This system is designed for use with magnetic-bottomed pans. Put simply, induction technology has two main advantages : - as heat is emitted only by the pan, heat is maintained at its maximum level and cooking takes place without any heat loss. - There is no thermal inertia, as cooking automatically starts when the pan is placed on the hob and stops when it is removed. If your hob is correctly installed and used, the safety devices will rarely be needed. The fan works even if the plates are off and this till the electronic system has enough cooled down. If the heat is increasing excessively, it automatically decreases the power of the plates then cuts them down (the display for power level is flashing) as far as the temperature of the components meets with the standard again, the hob starts working. ⷠSafety "Empty pan" : a probe is placed under each heating area. It will immediately detect a wrong temperature for the empty pan, or the glass ceramic. ⷠSafety "Detection" : the presence detector allows the working and so the heating. A small object (eg a spoon, knife or ring) placed on the heating area will not be considered as a pan and therefore the hob will not come on. ⷠSafety "Boiling over and splashing" : if any boiling over and splashing occur, the hob will stop. Now the zone goes off, the indicator goes off after 10 seconds. - To stop rapidly , press the and buttons at the same time. The heat level automatically goes down to . Warning : the Booster works during 10 minutes, after this time, it stops and the plate starts heating again at the setting 9, the power of the generator being decreased, the power level of the second plate comes back to its previous setting. After powering up the hob, wait 8 seconds to activate the electronic controls. In each display zone the heat level is displayed and the control LED blinks. - After a few seconds whithout use, the electronic control goes off and the starting operation has to be repeated. - Press the or button to select a heat level between 1 and 9. Hold down the or button and the heat level increases or decreases gradually. The cooking zones and the timer can be stopped at any moment by pressing for 3 seconds on the On-Off button. RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR The control panel tells the user when the surface temperature of the cooking zones exceeds about 60°C, by the following displaying: "H" . [. . . ] Never leave a scraper with a razor blade within the reach of children. Pan bases should be flat, fairly heavy-weight and the same diameter as the heat zone selected. Incorrect cleaning methods, cookware with rough bases, or coarse particles (salt or sand) trapped between the cookware and the surface of the hob. Use recommended cleaning procedures, be sure cookware bases are clean before use and use cookware with smooth bases. [. . . ]
