PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
USING THE APPLIANCE.
1) Proper Installation – Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician.
2) Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or Heating the Room.
3) Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left alone or
unattended in area where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to
sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
4) Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be
worn while using the appliance.
5) User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.
6) Storage in or on Appliance – Flammable materials should not be stored in an
oven or near surface units.
7) Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame or use dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
8) Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do
not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
9) Use Proper Pan Size – This appliance is equipped with one or more surface
units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover
the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
10) Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings – Boil-over
causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
11) Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place – Absence of these
pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to
damage.
12) Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or
oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these

- 2 -
liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.
13) Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent
Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over
adjacent surface units.
14) Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top – If cook-top should break, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-top and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
15) Clean Cook-Top With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe
spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
16) Do not place metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on the
cooktop surface since they can get hot.
17) CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a
range or on the backguard of a range – children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
18) DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface
units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units
may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or
let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near
units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are
(identification of areas – for example, the cook-top and surfaces facing the
cook-top).
19) CAUTION – Light (Error Code) signals a component failure. Disconnect
power supply and call qualified serviceman. Have appliance repaired by a
qualified serviceman before using.
20) Read these instructions carefully before installing or using this appliance.

Product Information
The ceramic/induction cooktop can meet different kinds of cuisine demands
because of resistance wire heating, micro-computerized control and multi-power
selection, really the optimal choice for modern families.
The cooktop centers on customers and adopts personalized design. The
cooktop has safe and reliable performances, making your life comfortable and
enabling to fully enjoy the pleasure from life.
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 Cooktop
•Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
•Remove any protective film that may still be on your ceramic cooktop.
•Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction cooktop.
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 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.

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 cooktop – do not slide, or they may scratch the
glass.

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.
Searing steak
To cook juicy flavoursome steaks:
1.Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
