BEFORE USING YOUR NEW COOKTOP
Using the Touch Controls:
Choosing the right Cookware:
Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look for Cookware suitable for induction cooking
must have a ferromagnetic base meaning the base must be magnetic and of the correct size for the cooking zone.
The cooktop automatically detects the p
osition, size, and shape of the cookware based on the ferromagnetic
properties and diameter of its base.
Always follow the cookware manufacturer's instructions regarding induction compatibility.
How to Check if Cookware is Suitable :
You can easily determine whether your cookware is compatible with induction
1) Magnet Test:
Place a small magnet (such as a refrigerator magnet) on the base of the
cookware.
If the magnet only sticks weakly or not at all, the cookware is not suitable.
2) Cooktop Detection Test:
Place the cookware on a cooking zone and switch the cooktop on.
Select a low power setting.
If the display indicates a heating error or the cookware does not warm up, the material is not compatible.
Suitable Cookware
Cookware with a partially ferromagnetic base.
Cookware with aluminum content in the base.
The controls are touch sensitive; no pressure is required.
Use the ball of your finger for best response.
A beep will sound each time a touch is successfully registered.
Make sure the control area is clean and dry, and keep it free of objects such as utensils or cloths. Even a thin
layer of moisture may affect the touch controls.

COOKING SAFETY AND TIPS
Important Safety Notice
When Frying:
oil and fat heat up very quickly especially when using the
function.
oil and fat can ignite spontaneously, creating a .
Never leave your cooking unattended when frying or using high heat settings.
General Cooking Tips:
When food reaches boiling point, reduce the power setting to prevent overcooking or boiling over.
Use a lid to retain heat, reduce cooking times, and save energy.
Minimise liquid or fat in your recipes to shorten cooking times.
Start cooking on a high setting. then reduce to a lower setting once the food has heated through.
Simmering and Cooking Rice:
Simmering occurs just below boiling point, around 185°F/85°C, when small bubbles rise occasionally to the surface.
Simmering is ideal for soups, stews, and casseroles
should also be cooked below boiling point to avoid curdling or separation.
Some dishes-such as rice cooked by the absorption method-may require a slightly higher setting than the lowest
level to cook properly within the recommended time.
Searing Steak To cook juicy, favoursome steaks:
Allow the meat to stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
Preheat a heavy-based frying pan on a high setting.
Brush both sides of the steak lightly with oil. Add a small amount of oil to the hot pan, then place the steak in
carefully.
Turn the steak only once during cooking.
1) Cooking time depends on the thickness of the steak and your preferred doneness, typically 2-8 minutes per
side.
1) Press the steak gently to test:
, the more well-done it is.
After cooking, let the steak rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute and the
meat to become tender.
For Stir-Frying:
Prepare all ingredients in advance - stir-frying is a quick process.
For larger quantities, cook in smaller batches to maintain high heat.

, remove it from the pan, and keep it warm.
Stir-fry the vegetables until they are hot but still crisp.
Reduce the cooking zone to a lower power setting, return the meat to the pan, and add your
sauce.
Stir gently to heat everything through evenly.
Serve immediately

COOKING SAFETY AND TIPS
Saving Energy
Use Cookware of the Correct Size
Always select cookware with a base diameter that matches the size of the cooking zone.
Center the cookware properly on the cooking zone to ensure optimal heat transfer.
Note: For frying pans, manufacturers often specify the top diameter of the pan. The base diameter—which
Use Lids When Cooking
Avoid lifting the lid unnecessarily, as this allows heat and energy to escape.
A glass lid allows you to monitor the cooking process without removing it, helping to retain heat and moisture.
Choose Cookware with a Flat, Solid Base
Match Cookware Size to the Quantity of Food
Use cookware appropriate to the amount of food being prepared.
Use the Appropriate Amount of Water
When boiling or steaming, add only as much water as needed to cook the food properly.
Avoid unnecessary excess water, which wastes energy and increases cooking time.
Make sure there is always enough water to prevent the food from drying out or burning.
Adjust Power Levels Appropriately
After bringing food to a boil, reduce the power level as soon as possible to maintain a gentle simmer or steady
cooking temperature.
