Do you have a question about the Zanussi ZIL8470CB and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is a user manual for a Zanussi ZIL8470CB hob, providing instructions for installation, operation, maintenance, and safety.
The Zanussi ZIL8470CB is an induction hob designed for cooking purposes. It features multiple cooking zones that utilize electromagnetic fields to directly heat the bottom of cookware, ensuring efficient and rapid cooking. The hob is equipped with a control panel that allows users to activate and deactivate the appliance, set heat settings, and manage various cooking functions.
Key functions include:
The hob is operated using sensor fields on the control panel. Displays, indicators, and sounds provide feedback on active functions and settings.
Activating and Deactivating: The hob is activated or deactivated by touching the ON/OFF sensor field for one second.
Setting Heat: Heat settings are adjusted using a control bar. Users can touch the desired setting or slide a finger along the bar.
Cookware Compatibility: Induction cooking zones require specific cookware materials such as cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, or stainless steel with a multi-layer bottom. Cookware is considered correct if a magnet sticks to its bottom and water boils quickly on the highest heat setting. Incorrect materials include aluminum, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, and porcelain. The bottom of the cookware should be as thick and flat as possible. The hob automatically adapts to cookware dimensions within certain limits, but using cookware with a smaller diameter than the minimum recommended will result in reduced power efficiency.
Power Management: The hob incorporates a power management system that groups cooking zones by phase. If the total electricity load for a single phase exceeds 3700 W, the function automatically reduces power to other cooking zones on that phase, indicated by a change in their heat setting displays.
Safety Features:
Noises During Operation: Users may hear various noises, such as crackling (from multi-material cookware), whistling (high power with multi-material cookware), humming (high power), clicking (electric switching), and hissing/buzzing (fan operation). These noises are normal for induction hobs and do not indicate a malfunction.
Energy Saving: To save energy, users are advised to put lids on cookware, place cookware on the cooking zone before activation, use smaller cookware on smaller zones, center cookware on the zone, and utilize residual heat to keep food warm or melt it.
Regular care and cleaning are essential to prevent deterioration of the hob's surface material.
