Residual Heat Display; Error Codes; Replacement Of Air Filter - Lincat IH21 User And Installation Instructions Manual

PAN DETECTION FUNCTION
Each zone has pan detection; this prevents the coil from turning on without a pan being present. The
coil also turns off as soon as the pan is removed. If the pan is of the wrong material to operate with
induction equipment, the 'no pan present' symbol will be displayed.

RESIDUAL HEAT DISPLAY

When a pan is removed from the hobtop and the temperature of the ceramic glass exceeds 60° C, the
"H" symbol is displayed indicating a hot surface. Refer also to the error codes section.
Whilst the residual heat display is showing, leave the IH21 Induction hob connected to the power
supply. This allows the internal cooling fans to continue to operate. When the "H" symbol is
extinguished, the mains power supply may be switched off.

ERROR CODES

There are numerous "E" symbol error codes, these identify issues within the induction system and are
primarily of use when reporting a fault to the Service department at Lincat Ltd. Some errors can be
cleared by turning the control to the "off" position, or completely turning off and unplugging the IH21,
before switching on again.
The "lightning" symbol reports errors due to the control knob circuit. If a control knob is wound anti-
clockwise and held in the "control lock" position in excess of 30 seconds, the system may assume a
"stuck control" and display this symbol.
A reduction in performance during cooking may be attributed to a blocked air filter, or a confined
location with insufficient cooling airflow, or a failed cooling fan. These circumstances will cause the
generator to overheat. Eventually the control electronics will shut down the generator causing the "H"
symbol to display.
Replacing the air filter and ensuring an adequate supply of cool air will restore performance.

REPLACEMENT OF AIR FILTER

Disconnect from the power supply after allowing the Induction hob to cool down. Turn the hob onto its
side or back, taking care not to scratch the ceramic glass cooking surface.
Push the slide latch sideways, this will allow the filter cover to be lifted away from the base panel.
Remove the old filter and replace with a clean filter.
Shut the filter cover onto the base panel ensuring that the slide latch has fully engaged into the
receptacle.
Turn the hob the right way up and reconnect to the power supply. The hob is now ready to use.
Important: Do not operate the IH21 Induction hob without a filter being fitted otherwise dirt and grease
could be drawn into the electronics and impair safe operation.
