Using the Touch Controls
•The controls respond to sensor touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
•Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
•You will hear a beep corresponding to the sensor touch function.
•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
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 hob –do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.

8
Using Suitable Cookware for Induction
Use cookware made from ferromagnetic materials which are compatible with the induction
principle. We recommend cookware made from cast iron, enamel coated steel or stainless
steel cookware designed for induction cooking. Pans made of glass, ceramic and stoneware
are not suitable for use in the induction zone. Cookware with aluminum bottoms is not
recommended as it can cause metallic, shiny marks to appear on the glass ceramic surface
which are difficult to remove.
To test the compatibility of the cookware
Turn on the appliance and put some water in the cookware you want to check, and then
place the cookware on a cooking zone at any power level. You will notice that the induction
cooker remain cooking. If the power display the error code , the cookware is incompatible
and unsuitable for use with induction cooking.
To obtain best results
•Cookware with thick flat bases should be chosen for the benefit of uniform heat
distribution. Avoid using cookware with rough or deformed bases.
•Use of cookware with enamel coated base can prevent the glass top from getting
scratched.
•Always use pans with a diameter large enough to cover the cooking zone fully to
achieve even cooking and more efficient heat distribution.

Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly at high
power levels. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously
and this presents a serious fire risk.
Cooking Tips
•When food comes to boil, reduce the temperature setting.
•Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
•Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
•Start cooking on high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated through.
Simmering
•Simmering occurs below temperature 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 flavour develops 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.

17
Searing steak
To cook juicy flavour steaks:
1. Defrost 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 to 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 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 cooking oil.
4. Cook any meat firstly, put it aside and keeps it 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 before serving.
