Important Safeguards - Rommelsbacher CT 3408/IN Bedienungsanleitung

GB Instruction manual
Congratulations on your purchase of this very special cooking plate! The induction technology
will help you economise on time and energy to a large extent, while you will benefi t from a plus
in safety. To make sure you can enjoy using your appliance for a long time, please read through
the following notes carefully and observe them. Thank you very much.

Important safeguards

• Before use, please read through these instructions carefully and retain for future reference.
Only use the appliance for the application described herein. Improper application will void all
warranty claims.
• Make sure your mains voltage is in conformity with the details provided on the rating label.
Connect unit to alternating current only.
• Only use pots or pans suitable for induction cooking, i.e. cooking utensils that are made of
ferromagnetic material. Always keep the cooking surface and the pot bottom clean and dry.
• Do not use cooking vessels protruding over the cooking surface. The heat of the vessel may
damage the plastic casing. Do not use cooking vessels covering both cooking surfaces at the
same time (e.g. 1/1 GN size containers). Due to the arising heat accumulation, the casing
may be damaged.
• Only use pots and pans with a maximum diameter of 24 cm and place them into the middle
of the marked cooking zone.
• Do not leave any food in aluminium foil on the cooking surface, nor cutlery, pot lids or other
objects made of metal, as those may become hot.
• Never use oven sprays or stain-removers for cleaning! Special cleaning agents for the glass
plate are available with your local dealer.
• Avoid scratches on the glass plate caused by pointed or sharp objects. Protect the glass plate
against breakage by falling objects.
• Any damages resulting from non-observance of these notes will not be covered by warranty.
Caution: This appliance complies with the standards for safety and electromagnetic
compatibility. Nonetheless, persons with heart pacemakers should keep away from
induction cooking plates!
We cannot verify that every heart pacemaker available on the market complies with the
current standards for safety and electromagnetic compatibility respectively and that there
is no interference caused that might affect the correct operation of the pacemaker.
There may also be malfunctions of other appliances, such as hearing aids.
Introduction
Cooking with induction is based upon a heating principle that is completely different from
cooking on conventional cooktops: The heat is generated straight in the pot bottom by eddy
currents. The cooktop itself is not heated, but only the bottom of the cooking vessel.
Consequently, the usual heat losses are avoided and the effi ciency of the energy expended is
optimised.
Advantages of induction cooking
• As the pot bottom is heated instantaneously, induction cooking is very energy-saving
(saves up to 50 % in comparison with other cooking methods).
• The induction cooktop generates or interrupts the heat supply immediately after the
activation of the control. This effi cient energy utilisation allows for an exact control of the
heat supply and is furthermore time-saving in the cooking process.
• A further amount of time is saved on account of the extreme speed by which energy is
available after switch-on. No waiting times! For instance, when heating 2 l of water you will
be 60 % quicker than you are on conventional cooktops!
