To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage
Before using the Rangetop make sure all the packing
materials have been removed.
Always keep the area around the Rangetop free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other ammable vapors
and liquids.
n
NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air
from a rear vent may ignite ammable items and
may increase pressure in closed containers, which
may cause them to burst. Many aerosol-type spray
cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may
be highly ammable. Avoid their use or storage near
an appliance.
Many plastics will burn, and most are damaged by heat. DO
NOT leave plastic items on the cooktop as they may burn,
melt or soften if left too close to a vent or an energized
surface element.
Storage should not be installed directly above a Rangetop.
To eliminate the risk of burns or re by reaching over heated
surface units, cabinet storage space located above the
surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be
provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood
that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the
bottom of the cabinets.
Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the
Rangetop. NEVER allow children to play with packaging
material.
n
It is recommended that this appliance is serviced
annually by a qualied service engineer.
n
DO NOT repair or replace any part of the appliance
unless specically recommended in this Owner’s
Guide. Always consult a qualied service engineer.
All other servicing should be done only by an authorized
servicing technician, this may reduce the risk of personal
injury and damage to the Rangetop.
NEVER modify or alter the construction of a Rangetop by
removing panels, wire covers, screws, or any other part of the
product.

1. Important safety information
2
Rangetop; children climbing on the Rangetop to reach them
could be seriously injured.
This instruction is based on safety considerations.
Flammable materials should not be stored near the cooktop
zones. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as
cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as ammable
liquids. DO NOT store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or
near the appliance.
Flammable materials may explode and result in re or
property damage.
n
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or
death, make sure your Rangetop has been properly
grounded and always disconnect it from main power
supply before servicing.
DO NOT touch the cooktop areas.
The marked areas on the cooktop may be hot even if they
have been o for some time. Areas near the cooking area
may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after
use, DO NOT touch, or let clothing touch or other ammable
materials contact the cooktop or areas near the cooking area
until they have had enough time to cool. These areas include
the Rangetop and rear vent.
Wear Suitable Clothing
NEVER wear loose-tting or hanging clothes while using
the cooktop. Be careful when reaching for items stored in
cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable material could be
ignited if brought into contact with a hot surface and may
cause severe burns.
Use Only Dry Potholders or Oven
Gloves
Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. NEVER let a potholder touch hot heating
elements.
DO NOT use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove.
They might catch re if they touch a hot surface.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp gloves
might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface.
NEVER operate the Rangetop with wet hands.
DO NOT place metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons
and lids on the cooktop surface since they can get hot.
Induction care
Important information for pacemaker and implanted insulin
pump users: The functions of this Rangetop comply with the
applicable standards on electromagnetic interference. If you
are tted with a pacemaker or implanted insulin pump and
are concerned, please consult your doctor for medical advice.
To fully utilize the power of your induction Rangetop and to
ensure longevity of performance, we recommend the use
of AGA approved Induction Pots and Pans. If you decide to
purchase an alternative set of pans for use on your induction
Rangetop, we would strongly recommend that composite
aluminum pans with steel inserts, example shown.
Fig. 1.1, are avoided. This type of pan construction can
signicantly reduce the lifetime and performance of your
induction Rangetop.
NEVER cook directly on the cooktop surface (Fig. 1.2).
n
DO NOT cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cooktop and cause a
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualied installer
immediately (Fig. 1.3).
n
Should a crack appear in the surface, disconnect the
Rangetop immediately from the supply and arrange
for its repair.
n
NEVER leave surface units unattended at high heat
settings - boilover may cause residue that may ignite.
n
ALWAYS LIFT pans o the cooktop. Sliding pans may
cause marks and scratches (Fig. 1.4).
n
Take care NOT TO PLACE HOT LIDS onto the cooktop
surface (Fig. 1.5). Lids that have been used to cover
a hot pan can “stick” or create a “vacuum” eect to
the glass top. Should this occur, DO NOT attempt to
lift the lid o the glass surface, this may damage the
glass. Instead slide the lid to the edge of the cooktop
and remove, taking care not to scratch the cooktop
surface. Alternatively wait until the lid has cooled to
room temperature, the vacuum has been released,
then remove the lid by lifting it from the cooktop.

Pan Performance Check
Method:
Use a 1.85 Kw zone (refer for ratings of each zone Fig. 2.4).
• Fill an unlidded pan with 1/2 liter of room temperature
water (the diameter of pan should not be greater than
the outer circle of the zone).
• Operate the zone at power level 9.
• The water should boil within 3 ½ minutes.
Boiling times outside this duration would suggest that the
pan construction is not ideal to provide best performance
and can result in premature component failure.
Use the Right Size Pan
This appliance is equipped with cooktop zones of dierent
sizes. Use utensils with at bottoms. DO NOT use unstable
pans and position the handles away from the edge of the
cooktop.
The proper relationship of pan location to zones will improve
eciency.
n
NEVER leave cooktop zones unattended at high
settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking and
greasy spills may catch on re.
n
DO NOT use hotplate protectors, foil or hotplate
covers of any description. These may aect the
safe use of your hotplate zones and are potentially
hazardous to health.
n
Only certain types of stainless steel, enameled steel
pans or cast iron pans with enameled bases are
suitable for induction cooktop cooking.
n
The handle of a utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward to reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of ammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil.

General safety instructions
This appliance must be installed by a qualied installer in
accordance with the installation instructions. The installation
must comply with the relevant regulations and also the local
electricity supply company requirements.
This appliance is designed for domestic cooking only. Use for
any other purpose could invalidate any warranty or liability
claim.
The Rangetop should be serviced by an authorized service
technician and only approved parts used. Have the installer
show you the location of the Rangetop circuit breaker. Mark
it for easy reference. Always allow the Rangetop to cool
and then switch o at the circuit breaker before cleaning
or carrying out any maintenance work, unless specied
otherwise in this guide.
n
All parts of the Rangetop become hot with use
and will retain heat even after you have stopped
cooking.
n
Take care when touching Rangetop, to minimize
the possibility of burns, always be certain that the
controls are in the OFF position and that it is cool
before attempting to clean the Rangetop.
n
Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used
to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid
steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Clean only parts listed in this guide.
In the interests of hygiene and safety, the Rangetop should
be kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other food
particles could result in a re.
Always keep combustible wall coverings or curtains etc. a safe
distance away from your Rangetop.
n
DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of the
Rangetop while it is in use.
DO NOT store or use combustible materials, or ammable
liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.
Take great care when heating fats and oils, as they will ignite
if they get too hot.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent
overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
n
NEVER leave a deep fry pan unattended. Always
heat fat slowly and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans
should be only a maximum of one third full of fat.
Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spill over
when food is added. If you use a combination of oils
or fats in frying, stir them together before heating,
or as the fats melt.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen
foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills or
overheating of foods when frying at high or medium high
temperatures. NEVER try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fry pan. Wait until the fat is cool.
When using an electrical appliance near the cooktop, be sure
that the cable of the appliance does not come into contact
with the cooktop.
Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.
Make sure that your kitchen is well ventilated at all times. Use
extractor fans or hoods when installed.
The Rangetop is designed for cooking foods only and must
not be used for any other purpose.
The specication of this Rangetop should not be altered.
n
This appliance is heavy, take care when moving it.
When the Rangetop is not in use ensure that the control
knobs are in the o position.

The Rangetop
Use only pans that are suitable for induction Rangetops. We
recommend stainless steel, enamel steel pans or cast-iron
pans with enamel bases. Note that some stainless-steel pans
are not suitable for use with an induction Rangetop so please
check carefully before purchasing any cookware.
The controls for the induction zones are shown in Fig. 2.1.
Pans made of copper, aluminum or ceramic are not suitable
for use on an induction Rangetop. The kind of pan you use,
and the quantity of food aects the setting required. Higher
settings are required for larger quantities of food.
Pots and pans should have thick, smooth, at bottoms
(Fig. 2.2). This allows the maximum heat transfer from the
Rangetop to the pan, making cooking quick and energy
ecient. Never use a round-bottomed wok, even with a
stand.
The very best pans have bases that are very slightly curved
up when cold (Fig. 2.3). If you hold a ruler across the bottom
you will see a small gap in the middle. When they heat up the
metal expands and lies at on the cooking surface.
Make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry to prevent
any residue burning onto the Rangetop panel. This also helps
prevent scratches and deposits.
Use pans that are the similar size as (or slightly larger than)
the areas marked on the cooktop. Using a lid will help the
contents boil more quickly.
n
Always take care before touching the surface, even
when the Rangetop is turned o. It may be hotter
than you think!

n
IMPORTANT: After use, switch o the Rangetop
element by its control and DO NOT RELY on the pan
detector.
If a cooking area is switched on and there is no pan in
place or if the pan is too small for the cooking area, then no
heat will be generated. The symbol [ ]will appear on the
Rangetop control display; this is the “pan-missing symbol”.
Place a pan of the correct size on the cooking area and the
[ ] will disappear and cooking can begin. After 10 minutes
without detecting a pan the cooking zone will switch o
automatically.
Table 2.1 shows the minimum pan sizes recommended for
each cooking zone.
NOTE: Using pans with a base diameter smaller than those
recommended will result in a power reduction.
Residual heat indicator
After use, a cooking zone will remain hot for a period of time
as heat dissipates. When a cooking zone is switched o the
residual heat indicator symbol [ H ], will appear in the display.
This shows that the cooking zone temperature is above 140 °F
(60 °C) and may still cause burns. Once the temperature has
dropped to below 140 °F (60 °C) the [ H ] will go out.

Low temperature/simmer setting
n
This function should only be used when heating
from cold.
Each cooking zone is equipped with 3 low temperature
settings for 36” and 2 settings for 48”:
• L1 will maintain a temperature of about 104 °F (40 °C) –
ideal for gently melting butter or chocolate.
• L2 will maintain a temperature of about 194 °F (90 °C) –
ideal for simmering (bring the pan to the boil and then
select L2 to keep soups, sauces, stews, etc. at an optimal
simmer).
• L3 will maintain a temperature of about 201.2 °F (94 °C) –
ideal for simmering (bring the pan to the boil and then
select L3 to keep soups, sauces, stews, etc at an optimal
simmer).
The maximum time this setting can be used is 2 hours, after
which the Rangetop will switch o automatically. If required,
you can immediately restart the Low Temperature function
by reactivating L1 , L2 or L3. To increase the heat, just turn the

The maximum times for all other power levels are shown in
Table 2.3.
Power boost setting
All of the induction cooking zones have Power Boost
available, activated by turning the control knob clockwise
until [ P ] is shown on the Rangetop control display.
Power Boost allows additional power to be made available for
each of the cooking zones. This is useful to bring a large pan
of water to the boil quickly.
The Power Boost function operates for a maximum
of 10minutes on each zone, after which the power is
automatically reduced to setting 9.
When using the Power Boost function, the cooking zones are
linked.
Fig. 2.8 shows the Rangetop layout. Zones A and B are linked
together as are zones D and E.
This means that when using zone A on Power Boost and then
switching zone B to Power Boost, the power to zone A will
reduce slightly. The last zone switched to Power Boost always
takes priority. Zones D and E work in the same way. Zone C is
not shared.
n
This is a built-in safety device.
Deactivate the Power Boost function by turning the control
knob to a lower setting.
n
Please remember not to leave the Rangetop
unattended. Care should be taken to not allow your
