AWordonInductionCooking
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.
Before using your New Induction Hob
•Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
•Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction hob.
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.

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. Follow the steps under ‘To start cooking’.
3. If does not flash in the display and the water is
heating, the pan is suitable.
•Cookware made by the following materials is not
suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminum or copper
without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain,
ceramic, and earthenware.
Size of burner (mm)
The minimum cookware (diameter /mm)
160
120
180
140
210
160
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. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
Always lift pans off the ceramic hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
10

xUse pans whose diameter of the ferromagnetic area (base of the pan) is in the
range of dimensions in the table below. (Table 1)
- If you use smaller pots, performance could be affected
-If you use pot with a diameter smaller than the one indicated in the table
above, pots may not be detected
According to the dimension of the zone you can use pots of different diameters
as picture below:
xIf the ferromagnetic part covers only partially the base of the pan, only the
ferromagnetic area will heat up, the rest of the base may not heat up a sufficient
temperature for cooking.
xIf the ferromagnetic area is not homogeneous, but presents others material such
as aluminum this may affect the heating up and the pan detection.
If the base of the pan is similar to the pictures below the pan could be not
detected.

Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re
using Boost. 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 power 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 flourthickened 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.
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
1. Choose a ceramic 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.
18

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.

CareandCleaning
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 the cooking
zone may still be hot! Take extreme
care.
•
Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon
scourers and harsh/abrasive cleaning
agents may scratch the glass. Al
ways
read the label to check if your cleaner
or scourer is suitable.
•
Never leave cleaning residue on the
cooktop: the glass may become
stained.
Boilovers, melts, and
hot sugary spills on
the glass
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:
1. Switch the power to the cooktop off
at the wall.
2. Hold the blade or utensil at a 30°
angle and scrape the soiling or spill
to a cool area of the cooktop.
3. Clean the soiling or spill up with a
dish cloth or paper towel.
4. Follow steps 2 to 4 for ‘Everyday
soiling 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 cooktop off.
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.
• 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.
