Safe and efficient induction cooking
Operating principles: The operating
principle of the Induction hob means that
the cooking vessel is heated directly. It has
various advantages compared to other hob
types. It operates more efficiently and the
hob surface does not heat up. The Induction
hob is equipped with superior safety systems
that will provide you maximum usage safety.
The hob is equipped with induction
cooking zones with diameters of
145, 180 & 210 mm (depending on
model). The induction feature
allows each cooking zone to detect
the vessel placed on them. Energy
builds up only where the vessel
comes into contact with the cooking
zone, thus, minimum energy
consumption is achieved.
Operation time constraints
The hob control is equipped with an
operation time limit. When one or more
cooking zones are left on, the cooking zone
will automatically be deactivated after a
certain period of time (see Table-1). If there
is a timer assigned to the cooking zone, the
timer display will also turn off later.
Operation time limit depends on the selected
temperature level. Maximum operation time
is applied at this temperature level.
The cooking zone may be restarted by the
user after it is turned off automatically as
described above.

Overheating protection
The hob is equipped with sensors ensuring
protection against overheating. The following
may be observed in case of overheating:
Active cooking zone may be turned off.
Selected level may drop. However, this
condition cannot be seen on the indicator.
Overflow safety system
Your hob is equipped with overflow safety
system. If there is any overflow that spills
onto the control panel, system will cut the
power connection immediately and turn off
your hob. "F" warning appears on display
during this period.
Precise power setting
Induction hob reacts the commands
immediately as a feature of its operating
principles. It changes the power settings
very fast. Thus, you can prevent a cooking
pot (containing water, milk and etc.) from
overflowing even if it was just about to
overflow.
Operating is noisy
Some noises may arise from the induction
hob. These sounds are normal and a part of
induction cooking.
x Noise becomes prominent in high
temperature levels.
x Alloy of the saucepan can cause noise.
x In low levels, a regular on/off sound
can be heard because of the operating
principles.
x Noise can be heard if an empty
saucepan is heated. When you put
water or food in it, this sound will clear
away.
x The noise of the fan that cools electric
system can be heard.
If the surface of the touch control
panel is exposed to intense vapor,
entire control system may become
deactivated and give error signal.
Keep the surface of the touch
control panel clean. Erroneous
operation may be observed.
