Preparing for use

1 Place the appliance on a dry, stable and level surface.

2 Make sure there is at least 10cm free space around the appliance to prevent overheating.

3 Always place the cookware on the cooking zone during cooking.

4 Make sure you use cookware of the correct type and size (see the tables below).

Using the appliance

Only use cookware that is suitable for induction cooking (see chapter ‘Preparing for use’).

Note: Always place and use the appliance on a dry, stable and level surface. The tables below shows the default settings in the different cooking modes and to what extent these default settings can be adjusted.

Note: In the stew and soup/congee modes, the appliance first brings the food to the boil and then switches to a lower power level. You can only adjust the power level after the boiling stage.

Note: The steam modes allow you to steam various types of food, such as steamed rolls, egg, pork ribs or chicken. The steam-lo mode is suitable for steaming a small amount of food, like eggs or buns. The steamhi mode is suitable for steaming a large amount of food, like ribs or chicken.

Note: The boil mode allows you to boil water or food in a fast way. The suggested boiling time for 1 litre is 3-5 minutes, for 2 litres 6-10 minutes and for 3 litres 9-14 minutes
