COOKWARE
Quickest heating Performance
High content of ferromagnetic material. Heating area is
consistent across the base and up the sides of pan.
Average heating Performance
Reduced area of ferromagnetic material. Reduced zone of
heating, results in poor 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.
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.
Other cookware considerations
Ensure the base of your cookware is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is similar in size
as the cooking zone. A small pot on a large cooking zone may not be detected. Always
centre your pan on the cooking zone and lift pans off the cooktop – do not slide, or they
may scratch the glass.
Suitable cookware material:
z
stainless steel –
with a magnetic base or core
z
aluminium and copper –
with a magnetic base or core
z
cast iron
z
steel
z
enamelled steel.
Unsuitable cookware material:
z
aluminium or copper –
without a magnetic base
z
glass
z
wood
z
porcelain
z
ceramic or earthenware.
To check if cookware material, carry out a magnet test:
Move a magnet across the base of the pan. If the magnet is attracted, the pan is induction
suitable. Ensure attraction is consistent across the base of the pan. If there are gaps, such
as an indented manufacturer’s logo, then the performance will be impaired.
If you do not have a magnet, fill the pan with some water and see section 'Using your
cooktop'. If
does not flash and the water is heating, pan is suitable.

28
COOKING GUIDELINES
Take care when frying: oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using
PowerBoost. At extremely high termperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and
this presents a serious fire risk.
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
Minimize 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
Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 185°F (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.
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.
29
COOKING GUIDELINES
Heat settings

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 at the wall.
2 Apply 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 at
the wall.
z
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.
z
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.
z
Never leave cleaning
residue on the cooktop: the
glass may become stained.
Boilovers, melts, and
hot sugary spills on
the glass
1 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.
2 Switch the power to the
cooktop off at the wall.
3 Hold the blade or utensil
at a 30° angle and scrape
the soiling or spill to a
cool area of the cooktop.
4 Clean the soiling or spill
up with a dish cloth or
paper towel.
5 Follow steps 2 to 4 for
‘Everyday soiling on
glass’ above.
z
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.
z
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.
Spillover on the
touch controls and
stainless steel strip
1 Switch the power to the
cooktop off at the wall.
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
at the wall.
z
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

the controls.
Make sure the touch control
area is dry and use the ball
of your finger when touching
the controls.

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.
Pans do not become
hot and
appears
in the display.
The cooktop cannot detect
the pan because it is not
suitable for induction cooking.
Use cookware suitable for
induction cooking. See
section 'Cookware'.
The cooktop cannot detect
the pan because it is too
small for the cooking zone or
not properly centred on it.
Centre the pan and
make sure that its base
matches the size of the
cooking zone.
I have locked the control
panel while two cooking
zones are bridged and
the cooktop has not
turned off.
This is normal. The cooking
zones will remain inactive,
but the indicator lights will
remain on.
Unlock the controls,
deactivate the bridging
zones (by touching the
two setting selectors
simultaneously) and then
lock the cooktop again.
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
E or Er alternating with
one or two digits in the
cooking zone displays).
Technical fault. Please note down the error
letters and numbers,
switch the power to the
cooktop off at the wall, and
contact your Authorized
Service Centre or Customer
Care with the error
code information.
