step 1.
When you have finished cooking
1. Touching the heating zone selection control that you wish to switch off.Turn the cooking
zone off by touching the “-” until decrease down to “0”.
2. Turn the whole cooktop off by touching the “ ”control.
3. Beware of hot surfaces
“H” will show which cooking zone is hot to touch. It will disappear when the surface has
cooled down to a safe temperature. It can also be used as an energy saving function if you
want to heat further pans, use the hotplate that is still hot.
Locking the Controls
• You can lock the controls to prevent unintended use (for example children accidentally
turning the cooking zones on).
8
• When the controls are locked, all the controls except the ON/OFF control are disabled.

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 theheat.
• Minimiser 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 flavours 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 timerecommended.
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.
11
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 an compatible flat-based wok or a large fryingpan.
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.

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
cooktop off.
2. Apply a cooktop 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
cooktop back on.
• When the power to the cooktop
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 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:
1. Switch the power to the
cooktop 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 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.
• 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
cooktop off.
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 the power to the
cooktop back on.
• 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.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible causes
What to do
The cooktop cannot
Be turned on.
No power.
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.
The touch controls
are unresponsive.
The controls are locked.
Unlock the controls. See section
‘Using your ceramic cooktop’ for
instructions.
The touch controls
are difficult to
operate.
There may be a slight film of
water over the controls or you
may be using the tip of your
finger when touching the
controls.
Make sure the touch control area is
dry and use the ball of your finger
when touching the controls.
The glass is being
scratched.
Rough-edged cookware.
Unsuitable, abrasive scourer
or
cleaning products being used.
Use cookware with flat and smooth
bases. See ‘Choosing the right
cookware’.
See ‘Care and cleaning’.
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 cookware and
does not indicate a fault.
