4. Cooking Guidelines
Cooking Tips
• 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.
Simmering, cooking rice
• Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 85˚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 flavors develop without overcooking the food. You should
also cook egg-based and flour thickened sauces below 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
To cook juicy flavorsome 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.
18
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.

drawing.
For installation and use, a minimum of 50 mm space shall be
preserved around the hole.
Be sure the thickness of the work surface is at least 30mm. Please
select heat-resistant work surface material to avoid larger
deformation caused by the heat radiation from the hotplate. As
shown below:

Locating the fixing brackets
The unit should be placed on a stable, smooth surface (use the
packaging). Do not apply force onto the controls protruding from the
hob.
Fix the hob on the work surface by screw four brackets on the bottom
of hob (see picture) after installation.

personnel or technicians. We have professionals at your
service. Please never conduct the operation by yourself.
2. The ceramic cooker hob shall not be mounted to cooling
equipment, dishwashers, and rotary dryers.
3. The ceramic cooker hob shall be installed such that better heat
radiation can be ensured to enhance its reliability.

Connecting the hob to the mains power supply
The power supply should be connected in compliance with the
relevant standard, or a single-pole circuit breaker. The method of
connection is shown below.
1. If the cable is damaged or needs replacing, this should be
done by an after-sales technician using the proper tools, to
avoid any accidents.
2. If the appliance is being connected directly to the mains supply,
an omni polar circuit breaker must be installed with a minimum
gap of 3 mm between the contacts.
3. The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection
has been made and that it complies with safety regulations.
4. The cable must not be bent or compressed.

6. Care and Cleaning
What?
How?
Important!
Everyday soiling on
glass (fingerprints,
marks, stains left by
food or non-sugary
spillovers on the glass)
1.
Switch the power to the hob off.
2.
Apply a hob cleaner while the
glass is still warm (but not hot!)
3.
Rinse and wipe dry with a clean
cloth or paper towel.
4.
Switch the power to the hob
back on.
•
When the power to the hob
is switched off, 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
hob: the glass may become
stained.
Boil overs, 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
hobs, but beware of hot cooking
zone surfaces:
1.
Switch the power to the hob off
at the wall.
2.
Hold the blade or utensil at a 30°
angle and scrape the soiling or
spill to a cool area of the hob.
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.
•
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 the power to the hob off.
2.
Soak up the spill.
