the optimal choice for modern families.
The hob centers on customers and adopts personalized design. The hob has safe and
reliable performances, making your life comfortable and enabling to fully enjoy the
pleasure from life.
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 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 there is no any beep sounds and the water is heating,
the pan is suitable.

9
4. If there is 2 beep sounds each cycle, which means the
pan is not suitable, and you need to change another pan.
•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.

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.
Using your Hob
To start cooking
•After power on, the buzzer beeps once, the indicators light up for 1 second then go
out, indicating that the hob has entered the state of standby mode.
1. Touch the ON/OFF switch, and the switch
indicator will display.
Note: Each cooking zone is independent of others.

10
2. Place a suitable pan on the cooking zone that you
wish to use.
Make sure the bottom of the pan and the surface of
the cooking zone are clean and dry.
3. Select power level by turning the “knob” control to
right.
•If you don’t choose a heat setting within 1
minute, the induction hob will automatically
switch off. You will need to start again at
step 1.
•You can modify the heat setting between 1
and 9 level at any time during cooking.
Note: Do not leave the cooking unattended.
When you have finished cooking
1. Select the cooking zone that you wish to swich off.
2. Turn the cooking zone off by scrolling “knob”control
to left to“OFF”. The Residual heat indicator will flash.
3. Turn the whole cooktop off by touching the ON/OFF
control.
4. Beware of hot surfaces
Residual heat indicator will flash which means cooking zone is too hot to touch. It
will disappear when the surface has cooled down to a safe temperature. It can also
be used as an energy saving function if you want to heat further pans, use the
hotplate that is still hot.

11
Residual Heat Warning
When the hob has been operating for some time, there will be some residual heat. The
indicator “” appears to warn you to keep away from it.

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.

12
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.
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.

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

•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. 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.
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.
