OPERATING YOUR COOKTOP
Choose the Right Cookware (Induction Models)
• Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction
cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the
packaging or on the bottom of the pan.
• You can check whether your cookware is suitable by
carrying out a magnet test. Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If
it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction hob.
• If you do not have a magnet:
1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.
2. If does not flash in the display and water is heating, the pan is suitable.
• Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable for an
induction cooktop: pure stainless steel, aluminum or copper without a
magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.
• Induction cooktops are made from smooth, ceramic glass, the heat comes
from a magnetic induction coil which heats the cookware but not the
cooking surface. The heat from the cookware is transferred to the food.
• It’s important that you use only metal pans specifically designed and/or
approved for use on induction hobs. Never allow melamine or plastic
containers to come in contact with the heat zones.
• A pan which diameter less than 140mm may not be detected by the
induction hob.
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
29
Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and
is the same size as the cooking zone. If you use smaller pot efficiency could
be less than expected. Always center your pan on the cooking zone.
Always lift pans off the hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
Note: You can use any kind of pot or pan for Ceramic Hobs.
Suggested Pan dimensions for induction hob
The cooking zones are, up to a limit, automatically adapted to the diameter of
the pan. However, the bottom of this pan is suggested to have a minimum of
diameter according to the corresponding cooking zone. To obtain the best
efficiency of your hob, please place the pan in the center of the cooking zone.

Overheat Protection
A temperature sensor inside the cooktop monitors its internal temperature.
When an excessive temperature is detected, the cooktop will automatically turn
off.
Overflow Protection
For your safety, the touch/slider control will automatically shut off the power if
boiling liquid or wet cloth touches the control panel. All control buttons became
inactive except ON/OFF and Child Lock button, until you wipe the touch control
area dry.
Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying, as the oil and fat heat up quickly, particularly if you are
using Booster function. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat can ignite
spontaneously, and this presents a risk of fire.
• When food comes to the boil, reduce the power setting.
• Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the
heat.
• Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
• Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has
heated through.
40
Simmering
•
Simmering occurs below the boiling point, at around 85˚C
(185˚F), when bubbles are rising occasionally to the surface of the cooking
liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and tender stews because flavors
develop without overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based
and flour thickened sauces below the boiling point.
•
Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method,
may require a setting higher than the lowest setting to ensure the food is
cooked properly in the time recommended.
Searing steak
1. Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2. Heat up a heavy-bottomed frying pan.
3. Brush both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the
hot pan and then lower the meat onto the hot pan.
4. Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will
depend on the thickness of the steak and how cooked you want it. Times
may vary from about 2 – 8 minutes per side. Press the steak to gauge how
cooked it is – the firmer it feels the more ‘well done’ it will be.
5. Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to
relax and become tender before serving.
For Stir-Frying
1. Choose a ceramic compatible flat-based wok or a large frying pan.
2. Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick.
If cooking large quantities, cook the food in several smaller batches.
3. Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
4. Cook any meat first, put it aside and keep warm.
5. Stir-fry the vegetables. When they are hot but still crisp, turn the cooking
zone to a lower setting, return the meat to the pan and add your sauce.
6. Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.
7. Serve immediately.
41

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out,
DISCONNECT the appliance from ELECTRICITY supply and
ensure the appliances is completely cool.
Cleaning the Cooktop Surface
• Clean spillages from the cooktop surface as soon as possible after use.
Always ensure the surface is cool enough before cleaning.
• Use a soft cloth or kitchen paper to clean the surface. If the spillage has
dried on the surface, you may need to use a specialist vitro-ceramic glass
cleaner, which is available for most of supermarkets.
• Do not use other abrasive cleaners and/or wire wool etc., as it may scratch
the ceramic glass surface of your cooktop.
Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic
• Special care should be taken when removing hot substances to avoid
permanent damage of the glass surface.
• Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, syrups) or melted plastics
can cause pitting of the surface of your cooktop (not covered by the
warranty) unless the spill is removed while still hot. Special care should be
taken when removing hot substances.
Tips to Keep your Cooktop Clean
Everyday soiling on glass (fingerprints, general stains left by food or
non-sugary spillovers)
1. Switch off the power supply.
2. Apply a vitro-ceramic glass cleaner while the glass is still warm (but not hot!)
3. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
4. Switch on the power supply to the cooktop.
43
Notes:
• When turning off the power supply of cooktop, there will be no ‘hot surface’
indication, but the cooking zone may still be hot! Take extreme care.
• Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon scourers, and harsh/abrasive cleaning
agents may scratch the glass. Always read the label to check if your
cleaner or scourer is suitable.
• Never leave cleaning residue on the cooktop glass surface: the glass may
become stained
Boil over melts and hot/sugary spills on the glass
Remove these immediately with a fish slice, palette knife, or razor blade scraper
suitable for ceramic glass of cooktop, but beware of hot cooking zone surfaces:
1. Switch off the power supply.
2. Hold the blade or utensil at a 30° angle and scrape the soiling or spill to
a cool area of the cooktop.
3. Clean the soiling or spill up with a dish cloth or paper towel.
4. Follow steps 2 to 4 for ‘Everyday soiling on glass’ above.
Notes:
• Remove stains left by melts and sugary food or spillovers as soon as
possible. If left to cool on the glass, they may be difficult to remove or even
permanently damage the glass surface.
• Cut hazard: when the safety cover is retracted, the blade in a scraper is
razor-sharp. Use with extreme care and always store safely and out of reach
of children.
Spillovers on the touch controls
1. Switch off the power supply.
2. Soak up the spill
3. Wipe the touch control area with a clean damp sponge or cloth.
4. Wipe the area completely dry with a paper towel.
5. Switch on the power supply to the cooktop.
NOTE: The cooktop may beep and turn itself off, and the touch controls may
not function while there is liquid on them. Make sure you wipe the touch
control area dry before turning the cooktop back on.
