A Word on Induction Cooking (for Induction hob only)
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced and efficient cooking technology. It works
by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the pan, rather than in-
directly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because
the pan eventually warms it up.
Before using your New Hob
• Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
• Remove any protective film that may still be on your hob.
• Remove any protective film that may still be on your 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 control panel is 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 (for Induction hob)
• Only ferromagnetic cookwares are 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.

Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly
if you’re using Power 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 power and reduce it when the food has been well heated.

cooking zone may still be hot! Take extreme care!
• Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon scourers and harsh/abrasive cleaning
agents may scratch the glass. Always read the label to check if your cleaner or
scourer is suitable.
• Never leave cleaning residue on the hob: the glass may become stained.

16
• 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.
• The hob 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 be-

cookware’.
See ‘Care and cleaning’.
Some pans make crack-
ling or clicking noises.
This may be caused by the material of your cookware (layers of different
metals vibrating differently).
This is normal for cookware and does not indicate a fault.

17
The induction hob
makes a low humming
noise at some certain
power setting.
This is caused by the technology of induction cooking.
This is normal, but the noise may quiet down or disappear completely
when you change the power level setting.
Fan noise coming from
the induction hob.
A cooling fan is built in your induction hob which prevent the electronics
from overheating. It may continue to run even after you’ve turned the in-
duction hob off. This is normal and needs no action. Do not switch the
power to the induction hob off at the wall while the fan is running.
Pans do not become hot
and appears in the
display.
The induction hob cannot detect the pan. Check the pan base size, if it is
too small for the cooking zone or not properly centered. Use cookware
suitable for induction cooking. See section ‘Choosing the right
cookware’. Centre the pan and make sure that its base matches the size
of the cooking zone.
The induction hob or a
zone turn itself off unex-
pectedly. A tone sounds
