The cooking area 1 itself is not heated - it heats up itself only when something in a pan is heated on it and then radiates heat back onto the cooking area 1. For this, an energy field generates heat which can only be created in magnetically conductible materials, for example, pans made of ferric materials. In other materials, for example porcelain, glass or ceramic, the energy field cannot create any heating effect. Use only cookware that is suitable for induction cookers: Suitable are pots and pans with a base made of steel or cast iron. These are recognisable either through the markings on the pan or if a magnet clings to the base of the pan. Unsuitable are all types of cookware made of metals to which a magnet does not cling, for example aluminium, copper and stainless steel, as well as non-metallic cookware made of porcelain, glass, ceramics and plastics etc. Thin pan bottoms are better suited for induction cookers than thick sandwich bottoms. The very short reaction times to setting adjustments (short pre-warm time; fast metered roasting) are not possible with thick pan bases. Only use cookware that is suitable for the size of the cooking area 1. ­ may not exceed 26 cm, so that the pan does not overhang, ­ and may not be less than 16 cm, so that the energy field can actually work. ­ The base of the pan may not be uneven, rather, it must sit flat. Only then can the induction cooker function perfectly. ­ there is an all-round free space of minimum 10 cm, e. To the nearest wall, ­ a free space directly above of minimum 60 cm, e. Therefore, place it only on smooth surfaces, not on textiles or fluffy surfaces, such as tablecloths. Do not place it adjacent to curtains, drapes or other textiles which, due to the airflow, could press themselves against the appliance. When you have unpacked and positioned the appliance as described above, it is now ready for use. Place the cookware in the middle of the cooking area 1. ­ not project beyond the edge of the cooking area 1. ­ not weigh more than 10 kg (together with the content). When cookware with content is standing on the hob 1: ­ Insert the plug 2 into a mains power socket. [. . . ] NOTICE If the child safety block is enabled during operation, the button On/Off 5 for switching off and the button Child Lock 6 can still be activated. Always remove the plug 2 from the mains power socket before you commence cleaning the appliance. Under no circumstances may the appliance or parts of it be submersed in liquids!This could result in you receiving a fatal electric shock and the appliance could be damaged. [. . . ]
