Security Alert Qualification and Staff training The assembling, installation, commissioning, operating and maintenance personnel must have the necessary qualifications. The scope of responsibility, the competences and the su- pervision of the personnel must be determined and adhered to by the operating staff of the induction unit.
Functions Functions Operational safety, personal protection DANGER Risk of electric shock from live parts and loose cables. If any part of the device is damaged or defective, immediately switch off the device and disconnect it from the mains. Do not touch any parts inside the unit. Disconnect power from the main circuit breaker for all equipment being serviced.

Functions Your induction devices must never be near steam or heat generating devices. Clean the air intake filter at least once a week or as often as necessary. Use only pans of a suitable size for the cooking surface. Do not use too big pans. Don’t preheat the pan under any circumstances.
Page 15
Functions Do not use dented pans as they could damage the electronics. Do not use pans on the grill plate. Using pans can deform the grill plate and the coating can be damaged. INSTINCT - Service Manual EN...

Temperature Monitoring Short Heat-Up Time To heat up from 20°C to 200°C [68°F to 392°F], a single cook-zone griddle will take: • INSTINCT Griddle 3.5 approximately 4 ½ minutes • INSTINCT Griddle 5, approximately 3 minutes • INSTINCT Griddle 10, approximately 3 minutes Rotary power switch The induction unit is turned on by turning the power rotary switch (OFF / ON).
Temperature Monitoring Induction coil The temperature of the induction coil is monitored by several temperature sensors simultaneously. When the temperature exceeds 260°C [500°F], the power output is reduced and interrupted at 290°C [554°F]. The display shows error code E47. In the wok version, the error code E47 already occurs at 200°C [392°F]. Device interior temperature The temperature in the device interior (hereafter called B temperature) is monitored by a temperature sensor.
Safe work during maintenance Safe work during maintenance For your safety Familiarize yourself with the safety instructions on page 4 before starting work. Qualification of the personnel for the electrical installation Only qualified electricians of an authorized after-sales service as defined by EN 50110-1 are allowed to work on the electrical equipment.
Maintenance Maintenance By means of the infrared interface (see chapter 8) it is possible to set and check the function and to carry out a diagnosis. The following maintenance work must be carried out periodically once a year. Ventilation check To open the device, see chapter 7.
Testing Testing Induction pans It is very important in inductive cooking to use induction-compatible pans. The pan bottom is the element in which the heat is generated by the magnetic field. We recommend using only pans specially designed for the induction.

Testing Power components - Testing Live parts DANGER Risk of electric shock from live parts and loose cables. When opening the cover, touching the live parts may result in electric shock. • Work on the electrical system may only be carried out by a qualified electrician by an authorized service center.
Testing Transistor (IGBT) The IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) is connected to the power PCB with three solder contacts. The IGBT transistor has an integrated freewheeling diode as additional protection. First, we need to measure the forward voltage of this diode. The forward voltage is approx. 0.5V. If the freewheeling diode has a short circuit or interruption, the IGBT transistor is defective and the power unit must be replaced.

Configuration of the IR interface Configuration of the IR interface • The following steps may only be performed by trained service personnel. Incorrect use can damage the induction device. Only the parts and components listed in the repair accessory list are permitted as aids. In order to be able to communicate with the induction device from the outside, a computer with a terminal program is required.
Configuration of the IR interface Set up terminal program 1. Connect the IR box to your PC 2. Start terminal program 3. Configuration of the interface: • COM Port: In most cases, only one COM port is seductive, select it. If possible, always use the same slot on your computer, then you do not have to reset the settings each time you start the program.
