This article explains how to use the BIKW40-1 by Boretti.
Use of the appliance
Sensitive touches
Your Wok is equipped with electronic controls with sensitive touch keys. When your finger touches the key, the corresponding command is activated. This activation is validated by a control light, a letter or a number in the display and/or a “beep” sound. Touch only one key on the same time. Display Designation Function 0 Zero The heating zone is activated. 1...9 Power level Selection of the cooking level. Pan detection No pan or inadequate pan. Error message Electronic failure. Residual heat The heating zone is hot. Booster The boosted power is activated. Ventilation The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts with a low speed when the calories brought out by the electronic system reach a certain level. The ventilation starts his high speed when the hob is intensively used. The cooling fan reduces his speed and stops automatically when the electronic circuit is cooled enough. Starting-up and appliance management Before the first use Clean your hob with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent which risks causing blue-tinted colour on the glass surface. Induction principle An induction coil is located under each heating zone. When it is engaged, it produces a variable electromagnetic field which produces inductive currents in the ferromagnetic bottom plate of the pan. The result is a heating-up of the pan located on the heating zone. Of course the pan has to be adapted: • All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (please verify it thanks a little magnet): cast iron and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic "bottoms"... • Are excluded: cupper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware... If the pan is not adapted to the induction hob the display will show [ U ]. Starting-up You must first start-up the hob, then the heating zone : • Start up / switch off the hob: Action To start To stop Control panel Press key [①] Press key [] Display [0] nothing or [H] • Start up / switch off a heating zone: Action Control panel Display Increase power Press key [ + ] [4] to [9] Decrease power Press key [ - ] [9] to [1] Stop Press simultaneous[ + ] and [ - ] or press [ - ] [0] or [H] [0]or[H] If no action is made within 10 second the electronics returns in waiting position. Pan detection The pan detection ensures a perfect safety. The induction doesn't work: • If there is no pan on the heating zone or if this pan is not adapted to the induction. In this case it is impossible to increase the power and the display shows [ U ]. This symbol disappears when a pan is put on the heating zone. • If the pan is removed from the heating zone the operation is stopped. The display shows [ U ]. The symbol [ U ] disappears when the pan is put back to the heating zone. The cooking continues with the power level chosen before. Residual heat indication After the switch-off of the hob, the heating zone is still hot and indicates [ H ] on the display. The symbol [ H ] disappears when the heating zone may be touched without danger. As far as the residual heat indicator is on light, don't touch the heating zone and don't put any heat sensitive object on them. There are risks of burn and fire. Booster function The booster function grants a boost of power to the heating zone. If this function is activated the heating zone works during 10 minutes with an ultra high power. The booster is foreseen for example to heat up rapidly big quantities of water, like noodles cooking. • Start up / Stop the booster function: Action Control panel Display Zone selection Increase power Start up the booster Stop the booster Press key [ + ] Press key [ + ] Press a second time key [ + ] Press key [ - ] [4] to [9] [1]to[9] [ P ] during 10 min [9]... Timer The timer is able to be used with a time setting from 0 to 99 minutes. • Setting and modification of the cooking time Action Control panel Display To select the heating zone To select the power level To select << Timer >>> Decrease the time Increase the time Press key [ + ] or [ - ] Press key [ + ] or [ - ] Press key [] Press key [ - ] Press key [ + ] [4]or[9] [1]...[9] [00] minutes [ 30 ] to 29,28,27,... The time increases... After a few seconds the control light stops with blinking. The time is confirmed and the cooking starts until the time reaches [ 00 ]. • To stop the cooking time: Action To select << Timer >>> To stop the « Timer » Control panel Press key [] Press key [ - ] then [ ] Display The remaining time Displays [ 00 ] then stops As soon as the selected cooking time is finished the timer displays blinking [00] and a sound rings. To stop the sound and the blinking it is enough to press the key [] • Egg timer function Action Control panel Display Activate the hob To select << Timer >>> Increase the time Decrease the time Press key [①] Press key [] Press key [ + ] Press key [ - ] The control light is on [00] minutes The time increases...

Not adapted materials : aluminium and stainless-steel without ferro- magnetic “bottom”, cupper, brass, glass, cera- mic, porcelain. The manufacturers specify if their products are compatible induction. To check if pans are compatibles: • Put a little water in a pan placed on an induc- tion heating zone set at level [ 9 ].This water must heat in a few seconds. • A magnet stucks on the “bottom” of the pan. Certain pans can make noise when they are placed on an induction cooking zone. This noise doesn't mean any failure on the appliance and doesn't influence the cooking operating. Pan dimension The Wok pan must be adapted to the diame- ter and the form of the ceramic glass cooking zone. Contact your seller to obtain a Wok pan with 314 mm diameter.
