4.2.1 How induction cooktops work
(PKFI3, PKI3, PKIW3)
An induction coil is located underneath an induction cooking
zone. If the cooking zone is switched on, this coil creates a
magnetic field that acts directly on the base of the pot thus
heating it up. The cooking zone is only indirectly heated up by
the heat emitted by the pot. Cooking zones with induction only
work if the cookware has a magnetisable base.
Induction automatically takes into account the size of the
cookware used which means that only the area in the cooking
zone covered by the base of the pot is heated up.
XX
Observe the minimum pot base diameter (see table 4.7).
Power levels
The high power output of induction cooktops results in the very
quick heating up of cookware. In order to avoid burning food,
slight adjustment is needed in comparison to conventional cooking
systems when selecting the power level.
4.2 Cooktop appliance description
Display and symbols
i
The power levels and cooking functions of each cooking
zone are shown in the control knob display on the
corresponding control knob.
i
The cooktops PKFI3 and PKI3 also have a 7-segment
cooktop display for each cooking zone. Power levels and
operating functions respectively are shown directly on

Noises
The following noises may occur in the cookware when using
induction cooking zones, depending on the material and the
finish of the base:
XO
Humming may occur when using a high power level. This
decreases or disappears when the power level is decreased.
XO
Crackling or whistling may occur due to cookware bases being
made of different materials (e.g. sandwich base).
XO
Clicking sounds may occur during electronic switching
procedures, especially at low power levels.
XO
Whirring may occur when the cooling fan is switched on. In
order to increase the service life of the electronic system,
the cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan. The cooling fan
switches on automatically if the cooktop is used intensively.

Tab. 4.3 Recommendations for power levels
The specifications provided in the table are standard values.
Depending on the cookware and filling quantity, it is
recommended to either decrease or increase the power level.
Suitable cookware
i
The heating and heat-through times for the cookware
base, as well as the cooking results, are significantly
influenced by the structure and material of the cookware.
Cookware with this symbol is suitable for induction
cooktops. The cookware used for the induction cooktop
must be made of metal, feature magnetic properties and
possess an ample base.
Suitable cookware is made of:
XO
stainless steel with a magnetisable base
XO
enamelled steel
XO
cast iron
Appliance Cooking zone Minimum diameter
PKFI3 front
rear
120mm
120mm
Tab. 4.4 Minimum cookware diameter
XX
Perform a magnet test if necessary. If a magnet sticks to the
base of the utensils, they are normally induction compatible.
XX
Pay attention to the cookware base. The bottom of the
cookware should not show any sign of curvature. Due to
incorrect hob temperature monitoring, this curvature may
cause the cookware to overheat. To avoid scratching the
cooktop, the base of the cookware must not have any sharp
grooves or sharp edges.
XX
Place the cookware (without a mat or similar) directly onto the
glass ceramic.

cooktop is switched off completely.
The appliance is fitted with overheating protection. The
overheating protection can be triggered if:
XO
cookware is heated up empty;
XO
oil or fat is heated on high power;
XO
a hot cooking zone is switched on again after a power cut.
Whilst the overheating protection is active, one of the following
steps is taken:
XO
the activated power setting is switched back to the previous
level;
XO
the power setting
ßp
can no longer be switched on;
XO
the set power level is reduced;
XO
the cooktop switches off completely.
After a sufficient cooling period, the cooktop can be used again.

or dryers.
i
The contact surfaces of the worktops and wall sealing
strips must be made of a heat-resistant material (up to
approx. 100°C).
i
Worktop cut-outs must be moisture-sealed using suitable
means and, where necessary, fitted with a thermal
insulator.
i
External devices may only be connected to the cooktop
extractor connections provided.
i
Extremely bright lights aimed directly at the appliances
can cause colour variations in the appliances and are
thus to be avoided.
General installation instructions for cooktops
i
To ensure that the cooktops perform optimally at all
times, there must be sufficient ventilation beneath the
cooktops.
i
The performance of the cooktops is affected or the
cooktops overheat if the warm air beneath the cooktops
cannot escape.
i
If a cooktop overheats, the power is automatically
reduced or the cooktop is switched off completely (see
“Overheating protection”).
i
If cable protection (false floor) is planned beneath the
appliance, this must be fitted so it does not obstruct
ventilation.
XX
Make sure that the area below the cooktop has a sufficient air
supply.
5.2 Checking the scope of delivery
XX

6.3.1 General operating instructions for cooktops
Cooktops are operated with 2 control knobs.
There are 9 power levels, an optional power setting and various
functions available for each cooking zone.
Each cooking zone has its own control knob. The front cooking
zone is controlled using the left-hand knob and the rear cooking
zone with the right-hand knob.

6.3.4 Bridging function
With the bridging function two cooking zones can be combined
to form one large cooking zone. The power for the combined
zones is then adjusted using any control knob. Power
adjustment takes place simultaneously (both cooking zones are
operated on the same power level).
This means, for example, that on the surface induction cooktop
very large pans or roasters can be used.
XO
Both cooking zone indicators are activated in the display on
both control knobs.
i
If the bridging function is activated on cooktop PKFI3, the
power setting cannot be used. Use of the power setting is
possible on the Tepan stainless steel grill PKT3.
i
If both cooking zones are active when the bridging
function is activated, the higher of the two power levels
will be adopted for both cooking zones. Active additional
cooking zone functions will be adopted by the cooking
zone with the higher power level.

function is deactivated.
6.3.5 Pan size recognition
On induction cooktops the cooking zone recognises the size of
the cookware automatically and only targets the energy at that
area. It also recognises cookware that is unsuitable or too small,
or if there is no cookware present.
The cooking zone does not work if...
XO
... it is switched on without cookware or with unsuitable
cookware;
XO
... the base diameter of the cookware is too small;
XO
... the cookware is removed from a switched on cooking zone.

Cleaning and maintenance
www.bora.com
7 Cleaning and maintenance
If the cooktop is hot:
XX
remove stubborn residues of plastic, aluminium foil, sugar or
sweet dishes from the hot cooking zone immediately using a
glass ceramic scraper to prevent burning.
Heavy soiling
XX
Remove heavy soiling and marks (limescale marks, mother-
of-pearl-like shiny marks) using cleaning products while the
cooktop is still warm.
XX
Wipe off any food that boils over with a damp cloth.
XX
Remove any remaining dirt with the glass ceramic scraper.
XX
Always remove any seeds, crumbs or similar that fall onto the
cooktop during cooking immediately to prevent the surface
getting scratched.
Any changes in colour or glossy spots do not mean that the
cooktop is damaged. They do not affect the functionality of the
cooktop or the stability of the glass ceramic panel.
Changes in the colour of the cooktop are the result of residues
which have not been removed and have burnt on.
Glossy spots are the result of wear by the pan base, especially
if aluminium-based cookware or unsuitable cleaning agents are
used. These are difficult to remove.
7.3 Looking after your cooktops
XX
Never use a cooktop as a work or storage surface.
XX
Do not push or pull cookware over the cooktop.
XX
Always lift pots and pans.
XX

XX
Follow the enclosed manufacturer’s information.
XX
When conducting scheduled cleaning and maintenance,
ensure that the cooktop and cooktop extractor are fully
switched off and cooled so as to prevent injury (see the
Operation chapter).
XO
Regular cleaning and maintenance ensures long service life of
the product and optimal function.
XX
Adhere to the following cleaning and maintenance cycles:
Component Cleaning cycle
Control knob:
Knob ring/knob
