Cleaning Caution ■ Before cleaning, turn off the main power switch. Allow to cool before cleaning the top plate. ■ Do not use a steam cleaner. Water may get into the electrical components and cause damage. Always keep the appliance in a clean condition. Spilled food or oil scorched on the appliance may become difficult to clean. Top Plate and Operation Panel Light stains Wipe off with a damp cloth. Oil stains ■ Wipe off with a cloth dampened in mild detergent.
Troubleshooting Check the following for some advice on rectifying some common problems before calling the service centre. Power Source Symptom Possible cause The IH cannot be turned ON. ■ The main power switch has not been turned ON. Touch the main power switch a little longer. ■ Child Lock has been activated. (See page 11). Auto switch off If 1 minute has elapsed without any operation after switching on, the main power automatically turns off. Turn on the main power switch again.
Troubleshooting Sounds and Noises Symptom Possible cause Noise is heard during heating. Various sounds may be heard depending on the type of cookware. You may feel a small vibration when you hold the handle and the cookware may move slightly. This is not a malfunction. Moving the cookware slightly or replacing it may eliminate the sound. If the cookware is removed during heating, a short metallic sound may be heard. The level of the noise from the appliance increases and decreases.
Troubleshooting Autoboil Mode Symptom Possible cause Heating time takes too long. ■ The base of the pan or top plate is dirty. ■ A lid has not been used. ■ Water was added to the pan during Autoboil mode. ■ The lid is removed or the pan is moved during Autoboil Mode. ■ Cookware with a non-stick coating may affect the sensor detection. If the water is not boiled after the beep, continue heating up as required. ■ The heating power may vary when using some stainless steel and made for induction cookware.
Troubleshooting Pan Frying Mode Symptom Possible cause ■ Preheating time takes too long. ■ The pan has been moved away from Genius Sensor. ■ The actual temperature is different from the set temperature. ■ The base of the pan or top plate is dirty. ■ Water, oil, or food was added during preheating. ■ The temperature on the base of the pan may vary from the set temperature depending on the type of cookware. Adjust the temperature as required with slider (KY-R644BB) or ‘-’ or ‘+’ (KY-R644CL).
Error Codes Heating can be resumed after the causes of the following errors are eliminated. Indication Possible cause ■ There is water or objects on or around the control panel. ■ Key is held longer than required. Cookware not detected ■ No pan placed on the cooking zone. ■ The pan has been removed. ■ The pan is not placed in the centre of the cooking zone. ■ An incompatible pan is used. (See pages 1516) Small object on the cooking zone ■ Small metal objects (e.g.
Error Codes Indication Possible cause Empty pan on the cooking zone ■ ■ An empty pan has been heated. When Deep/Shallow Frying, oil was preheated by selecting the power level instead of “Deep/Shallow Frying Mode”. Use Deep/Shallow Frying Mode for heating up a large amount of oil. ■ Incompatible cookware is used for Deep/ Shallow Frying Mode. (See pages 13-14) ■ The pan is not in the correct position. ■ More than 800 g of oil has been heated up. ■ Ingredients were added while preheating.
