A Word on Induction Cooking
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology. It
works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the pan, rather than
indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because the pan
eventually warms it up.
iron pot
magnetic circuit
ceramic glass plate
induction coil
induced currents
Before using your New Induction cooktop
• Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
• Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction cooktop.
Using the Touch Controls
• The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
• Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
• You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
• Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g. a utensil or a
cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to
operate.

Ⅲ. Choosing the right Cookware
•Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction
cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the
packaging or on the bottom of the pan.
• You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out
a magnet test. Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is
suitable for induction.
• If you do not have a magnet:
1. Put some water in the pan you want to check .
2. If does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable .
• Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel,
aluminium or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and
earthenware.
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the same
size as the cooking zone. Use pans whose diameter is as large as the graphic of the zone
selected. Using a pot a slightly wider energy will be used at its maximum efficiency. If you
use smaller pot efficiency could be less than expected. Always centre your pan on the
cooking zone.
Always lift pans off the Induction cooktop – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.

9
Pan dimensions
The cooking zones are up to a limit, automatically adapted to the diameter of the pan.
However the bottom of this pan must have a minimum of diameter according to the
corresponding cooking zone. To obtain the best efficiency of your cooktop, please
place the pan in the centre of the cooking zone.
The base diameter of induction cookware
The above may vary according to the quality of the pan used.

In this cooktop every zone can work with Boost function. The five zones were divided into
two groups.
2 . 1 In group a, if use boost on one zone, first make sure that the other zone is working
on/below power level 5. When you select one zone and press ‘boost’ button, if the other
zone is working above power level 5, the “P” and “9” symbols will flash on the display of
the selected zone and power level will be automatically set as 9.
In group a ,both zones can be operated with full power as their total power is 3500W.

13
2.2 In group b, if you want to use boost function , you can only use two zone at the same time.
2.2.1 If you want to use the middle zone’s boost function, only one of the zone on the right
side can be used at the same time. First make sure the selected zone of the right zone set
power level “4” or less, then set the middle zone boost. If the selected zone on the right
side was set higher than “4”, the “P” and “9” symbols will flash on the display of the
middle zone and power level will be automatically set as 9.
If you change the power level of the right selected zone while the middle zone working as
boost, the boost function will quit automatically.
2.2.2 If you want to use the boost function on group b ‘s right one zone , only one of the zone
on the group b can be used at the same time. You need to decrease the power level of the
other zone to ”5 “ or less first, otherwise “P”and “9” symbols will flash on the display of the
selected zone and power level will be automatically set as 9.

14
2.3 In group b, you can use three zones at the same time if you don’t active the boost,
but the max power level collocation is 7-level, 7-level, 7-level.
Power management function
• Cooking zones are grouped according to the two phases in the cooktop (see illustration).
Each phase has a maximum electricity loading of 3500 W. The function divides the power
between cooking zones connected to the same phase.
• Only Group b has this function. The function will activate when the total electricity
loading of the cooking zones exceeds 3600 W.
• The function decreases the power to the other cooking zones.
Using the Keep warm
Keep warm function is suitable for keeping food warm.

15
1.Using the Keep warm to get stable temperature

except the STOP+GO, ON/OFF and lock keys.

16
③To cancel the pause status, touch the button , then the cooking zone will go back to
the power stage which you set before.
Flex zone
• This area can be used as a single zone or as two different zones, accordingly to the
cooking needs anytime.
• Flexible area is made of two independent inductors that can be controlled separately.
When working as a single zone, a cookware is moved from one zone to the other one within
the flexible area keeping the same power level of the zone where the cookware originally
was placed, and the part that is not covered by cookware will not heat.
• Important: Make sure to place the cookwares centered on the single cooking zone. In
case of big pot, oval, rectangular and elongated pans make sure to place the pans centered
on the cooking zone covering both cross.
Examples for good and bad pot placements:

17
1.As big zone
