Need help?Do you have a question about the Electrolux HOI630MF and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is a user manual for an Electrolux HOI630MF hob, providing comprehensive instructions for its installation, safe operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. The hob is designed for domestic cooking purposes in an indoor environment, suitable for single household use, and can also be used in various accommodations like offices, hotel guest rooms, and bed & breakfast establishments, provided usage levels do not exceed average domestic use.
The Electrolux HOI630MF is an induction hob with four cooking zones, designed to provide efficient and precise cooking. It features a control panel with sensor fields for intuitive operation, allowing users to activate/deactivate the hob, adjust heat settings, and manage various functions. The hob incorporates several advanced features to enhance the cooking experience and ensure safety.
One key function is Automatic Heat Up, which allows for faster heating by initially setting the cooking zone to its highest heat setting for a limited time before automatically reducing it to the desired level. This is particularly useful for quickly bringing liquids to a boil or searing food.
The PowerBoost function provides an extra surge of power to induction cooking zones for a limited period, further accelerating heating. After this period, the zone automatically reverts to its highest normal heat setting. This is ideal for tasks requiring intense heat, such as boiling large quantities of water.
The hob also includes a Timer function, which can be used as a Count Down Timer for individual cooking zones or as a Minute Minder. The Count Down Timer allows users to set a specific cooking duration for each zone, with an acoustic signal indicating when the time is up and automatically deactivating the zone. The Minute Minder can be used independently of the cooking zones to track time.
A Pause function is available to temporarily set all active cooking zones to the lowest heat setting. This is useful for short interruptions during cooking, as it maintains the cooking process at a minimal level without stopping it entirely. All other control panel symbols are locked when Pause is active, preventing accidental changes.
For enhanced safety, the hob features a Lock function that prevents accidental changes to heat settings while cooking zones are active. Additionally, a Child Safety Device function can be activated to prevent any accidental operation of the hob, ensuring a safe environment, especially when children are present.
The Hob²Hood function is an advanced automatic feature that connects the hob to a compatible Electrolux hood via infrared signals. This allows the hob to automatically adjust the hood's fan speed based on the hob's mode setting and the temperature of the hottest cookware. Users can also manually operate the fan from the hob if preferred, by deactivating the automatic mode.
Operating the HOI630MF hob is straightforward, primarily through its sensor fields. To activate the hob, users simply touch the On/Off sensor field for one second. Heat settings are adjusted using the +/- sensor fields, and cooking zones can be deactivated by touching the corresponding zone selection sensor field and then the minus sensor field, or by touching the plus and minus sensor fields simultaneously.
The hob provides visual feedback through its heat setting displays, showing the current power level, whether Automatic Heat Up or PowerBoost is active, or if a malfunction has occurred. The OptiHeat Control (3-step Residual Heat Indicator) is a crucial safety feature, displaying whether a cooking zone is hot enough for continued cooking, keeping warm, or simply has residual heat, thus warning against potential burns.
For optimal cooking results, the manual emphasizes the importance of using suitable cookware for induction zones. Cookware made of cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, or stainless steel with a multi-layer bottom is recommended. The cookware should be as thick and flat as possible to ensure even heating and prevent overheating. Users are advised to ensure cookware bases are clean and dry before placing them on the hob surface and to avoid sliding or rubbing cookware on the glass to prevent damage.
The manual also provides a simplified cooking guide with recommended heat settings and times for various dishes, from keeping food warm to stewing vegetables or heavy frying. This guide helps users achieve desired cooking outcomes efficiently.
Regular care and cleaning are essential to maintain the hob's performance and appearance. The hob should be cleaned after each use, always with a moist soft cloth and neutral detergents. A special cleaning agent suitable for glass ceramic surfaces is recommended.
For immediate removal of spills like melted plastic, salt, sugar, or sugary foods, a special hob scraper should be used at an acute angle to prevent damage to the surface. For less urgent cleaning, such as limescale rings, water rings, fat stains, or shiny metallic discoloration, the hob should be sufficiently cool. These can be cleaned with a moist cloth and a non-abrasive detergent, followed by wiping dry with a soft cloth. Shiny metallic discoloration can be addressed with a solution of water and vinegar.
The manual explicitly warns against using knives or any other sharp, metal tools for cleaning the glass surface, as this can cause damage. It also advises against using water spray or steam cleaners.
Troubleshooting guidance is provided for common issues, such as the hob not activating, constant beeping, or error messages. Users are instructed to check basic connections, ensure correct operation of sensor fields, and clean the control panel if necessary. If problems persist, users are advised to contact their dealer or an Authorised Service Centre, providing information from the rating plate and any error messages displayed.
