TECHNICAL DETAILS
A Word on Induction Cooking
KNOW YOUR INDUCTION COOKING
Weight and Dimensions are approximate. Because we continually strive to
improve our products. We may change specifications and designs without prior
notice.
The ceramic/induction cooktop can meet different kinds of cuisine demands
because of resistance wire heating, micro-computerized control and multi-power
selection, really the optimal choice for modern families.
The cooktop centers on customers and adopts personalized design. The cooktop
has safe and reliable performances, making your life comfortable and enabling
to fully enjoy the pleasure from life.
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.

•When food comes to the boil, reduce the power setting.
•Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
•Minimise 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 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 flavours develop without overcooking the
food. You should also cook egg-based and flourthickened 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.
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.

Cooking Tips
Simmering, cooking rice
Searing steak
COOKING GUIDELINES
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re
using Boost. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously
and this presents a serious fire risk.
21
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.
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 meats first, put it inside 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.

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.
• 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.
• 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.

run even after you’ve turned the
induction cooktop off.
Make sure the cooktop is connected
to the power supply and that it is
switched on.
Check whether there is a power
outage in your home or area. If you’ve
checked everything and the problem
persists, call a qualified technician.
Make sure the touch control area is
dry and use the ball of your finger
when touching the controls.
This is normal for cookware and
does not indicate a fault.
Unlock the controls. See section
‘Using your ceramic cooktop’ for
instructions.
Use cookware with flat and smooth
bases. See ‘Choosing the right
cookware’.See ‘Care and cleaning’.
This is normal, but the noise should
quieten down or disappear completely
when you decrease the heat setting.
