COOKING GUIDELINES
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 flour thickened 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 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 o.
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 o, 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 o 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
dicult 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 o.
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 o,
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.

HINTS AND TIPS
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
The cooktop
cannot be
turned on.
No power. Make sure the cooktop 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 checked everything and the
problem persists, 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 dicult 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 control area is dry and
use the ball of your finger when touching
the controls.
The glass is
being scratched.
Rough-edged cookware.
Unsuitable, abrasive scourer or cleaning
products being used.
Use cookware with flat and smooth bases.
See ‘Choosing the right cookware’.
See ‘Care and Cleaning’.
Some pans make
crackling or
clicking noises.
This may be caused by the construction of
your cookware (layers of dierent metals
vibrating dierently).
This is normal for cookware and does not
indicate a fault.

INSTALLATION
Selection of installation equipment
1. Cut out the work surface according to the sizes shown in the drawing. For the purpose
of installation and use, a minimum of 50mm space shall be preserved around the hole.
Be sure the thickness of the work surface is at least 30mm. Please select heat-resistant and
insulated work surface material (Wood and similar fibrous or hygroscopic material shall not
be used as work surface material unless impregnated) to avoid the electrical shock and
larger deformation caused by the heat radiation from the hotplate. As shown below:
A(mm) 268

C(mm) 50mm mini
D(mm) 50mm mini
E(mm) 50mm mini
F(mm) 50mm mini
G(mm) 3mm mini
A(mm) 50mm mini
B(mm) 50mm mini
2. The ceramic cooker hob can be used on the table
top of cabinet. The ceramic hob should be placed
horizontally. As shown at right:
PAGE 19
A(mm) 760
B(mm) 50mm mini
C(mm) 20mm mini
D(mm) Air intake
E(mm) Air exit 5mm
Under any circumstances, make sure the
ceramic cooker hob is well ventilated and
the air inlet and outlet are not blocked.
Ensure the ceramic cooker hob is in good
work state. As shown below.
Note: The safety distance between the
hotplate and the cupboard above the
hotplate should be at least 760mm.
WARNING:
• There are ventilation holes around outside of the hob. YOU MUST ensure these
holes are not blocked by the worktop when you put the hob into position.
• Be aware that the glue that join the plastic or wooden material to the furniture,
has to resist to temperature not below 150℃, to avoid the unstuck of the paneling.
• The rear wall, adjacent and surrounding surfaces must therefore be able to
withstand an temperature of 90°.
WARNING: Ensuring Adequate Ventilation
Make sure the ceramic hob is well ventilated and that
air inlet and outlet are not blocked. In order to avoid
accidental touch with the overheating bottom of the
hob, or getting unexpectable electric shock during
working, it is necessary to put a wooden insert, fixed
by screws, at a minimum distance of 50mm from the
bottom of the hob. Follow the requirements below.
PAGE 20
Before locating the fixing brackets
The unit should be placed on a stable, smooth surface (use the packaging).
Do not apply force onto the controls protruding from the hob.
Adjust the bracket position to suit for dierent work surface’s thickness.
Cautions
1. The ceramic cooker hob must be installed by qualified personnel or technicians.
We have professionals at your service. Please never conduct the operation by yourself.
2. The ceramic cooker hob shall not be mounted to cooling equipment, dishwashers and
rotary dryers.
3. The ceramic cooker hob shall be installed such that better heat radiation can be ensured
to enhance its reliability.
4. The wall and induced heating zone above the work surface shall withstand heat.
5. To avoid any damage, the sandwich layer and adhesive must be resistant to heat.
6. A steam cleaner is not to be used.
7. This ceramic can be connected only to a supply with system impedance no more than
0.427 ohm. In case necessary, please consult your supply authority for system impedance
information.
