Residual Heat Warning
When the hob has been operating for some time, there will be some residual
heat. The letter “ ”appears to warn you to keep away from it.
Auto Shutdown
Another safety feature of the hob is auto shutdown. This occurs whenever you
forget to switch off a cooking zone. The default shutdown times are shown in
the table below:

Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly. At extremely
high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a
serious fire risk.
Cooking Tips
• When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature 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, 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 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.
