INTRODUCTION
Introducing your cooktop
Congratulations on your new purchase. Your Fisher & Paykel induction cooktop is
the ultimate in induction cooking, giving you the speed, precision, and simplicity of
electronic control, and the easy-care elegance of a ceramic glass surface. For more
information, visit our local website listed on the back cover.
A word on induction cooking
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology.
It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the pan, rather than
indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because
the pan eventually warms it up. This technology has a number of advantages over
traditional radiant energy cooking:
z
Heat-up times are much faster.
z
Use is safer as no heating takes place unless a suitable pan is placed on the cooking
zone.
z
As heat is transferred without loss, you save energy.
Before using your new cooktop
z
Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety and warnings’ section.
z
Remove any protective film that may still be on your cooktop.
Using the touch controls
z
The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
z
Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
z
Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and there is no object (eg a utensil or
a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to
operate.
10
CHOOSING THE RIGHT COOKWARE
To check if cookware is suitable
z
Carry out a magnet test:
z
Move a magnet across the base of the pan.
If the magnet is attracted then the pan is induction suitable.
z
Note: Make sure attraction is consistent across the base of the pan.
If there are gaps, such as an indented manufacturer’s logo,
then the performance of the pan will be impaired.
z
If you do not have a magnet:
1 Put some water in the pan you want to check.
2 Follow the steps under ‘To start cooking’.
3 If does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
Quality of cookware
IMPORTANT!
z
The quality of your cookware can affect cooking performance. Only use induction
compatible cookware that has been specifically designed for induction cooking.
Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or the bottom of the pan.
z
Cookware that has a high content of ferromagnetic material that continues up from the
base into the sides of the pan will give the best cooking performance.
See below:
Quickest heating
Performance
High content of
ferromagnetic material.
Heating area is
consistent across the
base and continues up
the sides of pan.
Average heating
Performance
Reduced area of
ferromagnetic material.
Reduced zone of
heating, results in poor
cooking performance
and slower heating.
Slow heating
Performance
Very limited area of
ferromagnetic material.
Results in very slow
heating performance.
Note: This type of
pot is good for very
delicate tasks such as
melting chocolate, as
heating is very slow.
11

25
COOKING GUIDELINES
IMPORTANT!
Take care when frying: oil and fat heat up very quickly. At extremely high
termperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.
PowerBoost is not recommended for cooking with oil and fat, such as deep frying.
Cooking tips
z
When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting.
z
Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
z
Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
z
Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated
through.
Simmering, cooking rice
z
Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 85
O
C, when bubbles are just rising
occasionally to the surface of the cooking liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and
tender stews because the flavours develop without overcooking the food. You should
also cook egg-based and flour-thickened sauces below boiling point.
z
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
To cook juicy flavoursome steaks:
1 Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2 Heat up a heavy-based 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
When stir-frying be careful to lift the pan clear of the surface if tossing the ingredients.
Sliding the pan across the cooktop surface may scratch it.
1 Choose an induction 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.

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: the
glass may become stained.
Boilovers, 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 cooktops, but
beware of hot cooking zone
surfaces:

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
Some pans make
crackling or clicking
noises.
This may be caused by the
construction of your
cookware (layers of different
metals vibrating differently).
This is normal for induction
cookware and does not
indicate a fault.
The cooktop makes
a low humming noise
when used on a high
heat setting (especially
PowerBoost).
This is caused by the
technology of induction
cooking.
This is normal, but the
noise should quieten down
or disappear completely
when you decrease the
heat setting.
Fan noise coming from
the cooktop.
A cooling fan built into
your cooktop has come on
to prevent the electronics
from overheating. It may
continue to run even after
you’ve turned the cooktop
off.
This is normal and needs
no action. Do not switch
the power to the cooktop
off at the wall while the
fan is running.
The heat setting will not
increase. The display
flashes and the cooktop
beeps when I try to
increase the heat.
Other cooking zones are
in use and cooktop is at
maximum power.
Reduce the heat setting
for other cooking zones.
See section ‘Using multiple
cooking zones.’
Pans do not become hot
and
appears in the
display.
The cooktop cannot detect
the pan because it is not
suitable for induction
cooking.
The cooktop cannot detect
the pan because it is too
small for the cooking zone or
not properly centred on it.
Use cookware suitable for
induction cooking. See
section ‘Choosing the right
cookware’.
Centre the pan and make
sure that its base matches
the size of the cooking
zone.
P flashes in the display
when you are trying to set
PowerBoost.
PowerBoost is temporarily
unavailable because the
cooktop needs to protect
itself from overheating.
Allow the cooktop to cool
down.
The cooktop or a cooking
zone has turned itself off
unexpectedly, a tone
sounds and an error code
is displayed (typically Er
following by two digits).
Technical fault. Please note down the error
letters and numbers,
switch the power to the
cooktop off at the wall, and
contact your Authorised
Service Centre or Customer
Care with the error code
information.
