4. Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using
PowerBoost.At extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this
presents a seriousfire risk.
4.1 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.
Minimize 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.
4.1.1 Simmering, cooking rice
Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 85˚C, when bubbles are just rising occasionally
tothe surface of the cooking liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and tender stews because the
flavoursdevelop without overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based and flourthickened
saucesbelow boiling point.
Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a setting higher than
thelowest setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time recommended.
4.1.2 Searing steak
To cook juicy flavorsome 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
themeat onto the hot pan.
4. Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of
thesteak and how cooked you want it. Times may vary from about 2 –8 minutes per side. Press the
steakto 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 tenderbefore
serving.
4.1.3For stir-frying
1. Choose anceramic 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

14
the meat to the pan and add your sauce.
6. Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.
7. Serve immediately.
5. Heat Settings
The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on several factors, including
yourcookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment with theCeramic hob to find the settings
thatbest suit you.

6. 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.
2. Apply a 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.
•When the power to the cooktop is
switched off, there will be no ‘hot
surface’ indication but thecooking zone
may still be hot! Take extreme care.
•Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon
scourers and harsh/abrasive cleaning
agents may scratch theglass. Always
read the label to check if your cleaner or
scourer is suitable.
•Never leave cleaning residue on the
cooktop: the glass may become stained.

15
Boilovers, melts, and
hot sugary spills on
the glass
Remove these immediately with
afish slice, palette knife or razor
bladescraper suitable for Ceramic
glasscooktops, but beware of hot
cookingzone surfaces:
1. Switch the power to the
cooktopoff at the wall.
2. Hold the blade or utensil at a
30°angle and scrape the soiling
orspill to a cool area of the
cooktop.
3. Clean the soiling or spill up with
adish cloth or paper towel.
4. Follow steps 2 to 4 for
‘Everydaysoiling on glass’ above.
•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.
•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.
Spillovers on the
touch controls
1. Switch the power to the
cooktopoff.
2. Soak up the spill
3. Wipe the touch control area
witha clean damp sponge or
cloth.
4. Wipe the area completely dry
with a paper towel.
5. Switch the power to the
cooktopback on.
•The cooktop may beep and turn
itself off, and the touch controls
may not function while there is
liquid on them. Make sure youwipe the
touch control area drybefore turning the
cooktop backon.
7.Hints and Tips
Problem
Possible causes
What to do
The cooktop cannot
Be turned on.
No power.
Make sure the ceramic hob is
connected to the power supply
and that it is switched on.
Check whether there is a power
outage in your home or area. If
you’ve checkedeverything and the
problempersists, call a qualified
technician.
The touch controls are
unresponsive.
The controls are locked.
Unlock the controls. See section
‘Using your ceramic cooktop’for
instructions.
The touch controls are
difficult to operate.
There may be a slight film of
water over the controls or you
may be using the tip of your
finger when touching the
controls.
Make sure the touch controlarea is dry
and use the ball ofyour finger when
touching thecontrols.

16
The glass is being
scratched.
Rough-edged cookware.
Unsuitable, abrasive scourer or
cleaning products being used.
Use cookware with flat andsmooth
bases. See ‘Choosingthe right
cookware’.
See ‘Care and cleaning’.
Some pans make
crackling orclicking
noises.
This may be caused by the
construction of your cookware
(layers of different metals
vibrating differently).
This is normal for cookware and
does not indicate a fault.
8. Installation
8.1 Selection of installation equipment
Cut out the work surface according to the sizes shown in the drawing.
For the purpose of installation and use, a minimum of 5 cm space shall be preserved around the hole.
Be sure the thickness of the work surface is at least 30mm. Please select heat-resistant work
