Safety Clean the burner parts regularly for safe and correct operation of the burners. Missing rubber feet from the pan supports can cause scratches on the drip tray or poor combustion of the burner. If the rubber feet are missing, please contact our service department. Do not use large pots or heavy weights which can bend the pan support or deflect flame onto the hotplate.
Safety Safe use Temperature safety induction zones Each induction zone is equipped with a sensor. This sensor measures the temperature of the base of the pan and the sections of the hob. This facility prevents overheating (for example through a pan boiling dry). In case of temperatures rising too high, the power of the cooking zone/hub is reduced automatically or shut off completely.
Your gas-induction hob Dear customer! Welcome to our growing ASKO family! We are proud of our appliances. We hope that this appliance will be an appreciated and dependable aid for many years to come. Please read the operating instructions before use. They include general tips, information about the settings and adjustments you can make, and the best way to take care of your appliance.
Induction use Induction cooking Induction cooking is fast To start with, you will be surprised by the speed of induction cooking. Especially at higher settings, foods and liquids will come to a boil very rapidly. It is best not to leave pans unattended to avoid them boiling over or boiling dry.
Induction use Easy The electronic controls are accurate and easy to set. On the lowest setting, you can melt chocolate directly in the pan, for example, or cook ingredients that you would normally heat in au bain-marie. Fast Thanks to the induction hob’s high power levels, bringing food to the boil is very quick. Cooking food through takes just as long as for other types of cooking.
