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.
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.
Choosingtheright 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 from the following materials are not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminium or
copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.
iron pot
magnetic circuit
ceramic glass plate
induction coil
induced currents

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.
Pans less than 140 mm could be undetected by the hob. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
Always lift pans off the induction hob – do not slide them, or they may scratch the glass.
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 hob, please place the pan in the centre of the cooking zone.

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 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 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 an induction 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
the meat to the pan and add your sauce.

15
6. Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.
7. Serve immediately.
Heat settings
The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on several factors, including your
cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment with the induction hob to find the settings that best
suit you.
