First Time Use - Whirlpool ACM 807/BA Instructions Manual

ACCESSORIES
POTS AND PANS
Only use pots and pans made from ferromagnetic
OK NO
material which are suitable for use with induction hobs:
• enamelled steel
• cast iron
• special pots and pans in stainless steel, suitable
for induction cooking
Check for the symbol (usually stamped on the bottom) to determine
whether a pot is suitable. A magnet may be used to check whether pots are
magnetic.
The quality and the structure of the pot base can alter cooking performance.
Some indications for the base's diameter do not correspond to the actual
diameter of the ferromagnetic surface.
Some pots and pans have only a part of the bottom in a ferromagnetic
material, with parts in another material not suitable for induction cooking.
These areas may heat up at different levels or lower temperatures. In certain
cases, where the bottom is made mainly of non-ferromagnetic materials, the
hob might not recognise the pan and therefore not switch on the cooking
zone.
To ensure optimum efficiency, always use pots and pans with a flat bottom
that distributes the heat evenly. If the bottom is uneven, this will affect
power and heat conduction.

FIRST TIME USE

WARNING
Install product according to the electrical specifications
described in the installation instructions.
Turn off all controls when done cooking
Failure to do so can result in death, fire or injuries.
POWER MANAGEMENT
At the time of purchase, the hob is set to the maximum possible power.
Adjust the setting concerning the limits of your home's electrical system as
described in the following paragraph.
N.B: Depending on the power selected for the hob, some of the cooking zone
power levels and functions (e.g. boil or fast heating) could be automatically
limited to prevent the selected limit from being exceeded.
Fire Hazard
Empty pots or pots with a thin base
Do not use empty pots or pans when the hob is on. The hob is equipped with
an internal safety system that constantly monitors the temperature, activating
the "automatic off" function where high temperatures are detected. When
used with empty pots or pots with thin bases, the temperature may rise very
quickly, and the "automatic off" function may not be triggered immediately,
damaging the pan or the hob surface. If this occurs, do not touch anything
and wait for all components to cool down.
If any error messages appear, call the service centre.
Minimum diameter of pot/pan base for the different cooking areas
To ensure that the hob functions properly, use pots of a suitable minimum
diameter (refer to the drawing below).
Always use the cooking zone that best corresponds to the minimum
diameter of the bottom of the pot.
Place the pot making sure it is well centered on the cooking zone in use.
It is recommended not to use pots that exceed the perimeter of the cooking
zone in use.

ADAPTER FOR POTS/PANS UNSUITABLE FOR INDUCTION
Using this accessory makes it possible to use pots and pans that are not
suitable for induction hobs. It is important to bear in mind that using it
affects efficiency and, consequently, the time needed to heat food. Its
use should be limited because the temperatures reached on its surface
depend significantly on the pot/pan used, its flatness and the type of food
being cooked. Using a pot or pan with a smaller diameter than the adapter
disc may cause heat to build up that is not transmitted to the pot or pan,
which could blacken both the hob and the disc. Adapt the diameter of
your pots/pans and the hob to the diameter of the adapter.
To set the power of the hob:
Once you have connected the device to the mains power supply, you can
set the power level within 60 seconds.
Press the "+" button for at least 3 seconds. The display shows "PL".
Confirm by pressing .
Use the "+" and "−" buttons to select the desired power level.
The power levels available are: 2.5 kW – 4.0 kW – 6.0 kW – 7.2 kW.
Confirm by pressing .
The power level selected will stay in the memory even if the power supply
is interrupted.
To change the power level, disconnect the appliance from the mains for at
least 60 seconds, plug it back in, and repeat the above steps.
If an error occurs during the setting sequence, the "EE" symbol will appear,
and you will hear a beep. If this happens, repeat the operation.
If the error persists, contact the After-Sales Service.
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL ON/OFF
To switch the acoustic signal on/off:
• Connect the hob to the power supply;
• Wait for the switch-on sequence;
• Within 60 seconds, press the buttons "+" and
least 5 seconds.
