Detailed Description

The MIP-35361 Portable Induction Hob heats cookware through an electromagnetic field beneath the ceramic plate. The cooking surface itself is not the primary heat source, but it can become hot because heat transfers back from the pan during cooking.

The appliance has a ceramic plate, central cooking zone, touch-control panel, air intake, air outlet, and attached power cord. The ventilation openings help remove heat from the internal components and must remain unobstructed during operation.

The control panel includes the following functions:

ON/STANDBY: Turns the hob on or off.
FUNCTION: Selects an automatic cooking mode.
+ and −: Adjust the selected power or timer setting.
Touch slider: Changes the heating level where supported.
Low-power and high-power controls: Provide direct heating adjustments.
TIMER: Sets a timed cooking period.
BOOST: Delivers maximum power temporarily.

After choosing a cooking mode, press + or −, or use the touch slider, to adjust the heating level. Certain automatic programs manage power within limits required by their cooking process.

To use the timer, press TIMER. When the displayed numbers blink, set the required duration with + or −. After the setting stops blinking, the countdown begins. When the countdown finishes, the hob stops heating and switches off automatically.

Press BOOST after selecting a cooking mode to apply maximum power directly. Boost operation lasts for three minutes, after which the hob returns to the previous cooking-mode setting.

Cookware Requirements

Induction heating requires cookware containing iron or another suitable magnetic material. For best performance, use the cookware supplied for the appliance. If alternative cookware is used, it should have a flat base with a diameter of at least 15 cm and no more than 18 cm.

Suitable examples include iron stock pots, milk pots, woks, water kettles, frying pans, and steamers. The maximum load for the frying pan is 4 kg, including ingredients.

For boiling, fill the vessel to approximately 30–80% of its capacity. The results can vary with the flatness of the pan base, scale accumulation, and surrounding weather conditions. Use an appropriate stock pot or water kettle for this function.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Switch off the hob and unplug it before cleaning.
Wait until the ceramic plate has cooled before touching or wiping it.
Wipe dust from the air inlet and outlet with a soft, dry cloth.
Use a soft brush or small vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the ventilation openings.
Do not rinse the appliance with water.
For oil or food marks on the ceramic plate, use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild detergent or toothpaste.
Wipe the surface again with a clean, damp cloth until no residue remains.
Before long-term storage, disconnect the plug, clean the hob, and protect it from dust, insects, and humidity.

Troubleshooting

The Display and Indicator Do Not Turn On

Check that the power plug is inserted correctly.
Check the power switch, outlet, fuse, and power cord for visible problems.
If the issue continues, stop using the appliance and arrange qualified repair.

The Display Works but Heating Does Not Start

Confirm that the cookware contains suitable magnetic material.
Check that the pan is centred on the cooking zone.
Make sure the pan base is flat and within the recommended size range.
If the cookware is unsuitable, the hob may detect it but will not begin heating.

Heating Stops During Cooking

Check whether the frying oil has become excessively hot.
