To start cooking
Turn the control dial of the cooking zone you
wish to use to the High setting, then adjust as
necessary.
When using dual cooking zones, you may
choose to use the inner zone only ( ) or the
full dual cooking zone ( ). See Fig. 9 below.
Some models have a cooking zone with a
unique SuperSimmer feature (see Fig. 10).
This special, low turndown range is excellent
for the most delicate cooking tasks, like
melting chocolate or simmering soups and
stews.
For further advice on cooking and using
the SuperSimmer feature, see ‘Cooking
guidelines’ following.
‘Hot surface’ indicators
As soon as you turn a cooking zone on, its
‘Hot surface’ indicator will start glowing.
It will continue to glow even after you have
turned the cooking zone off, until the glass
becomes cool enough to be safely touched.
When you have finished cooking
When you have finished using a cooking
zone, turn its dial to the off (
O ) position.
When you have finished using your cooktop,
check that all dials are turned off.

14 Cooking guidelines
Cookware
Use heavy-gauge, flat, smooth-based cookware that matches the diameter of the cooking zone.
This will provide good contact with the glass and help reduce cooking times. Low heat or slow
cooking is often due to incorrect cookware size.
Cookware with a stainless steel sandwich base or enamelled cast iron will give you the best
results.
Saucepans or heavy frying pans with jagged edges or a rough base will scratch the glass.
Always lift pans off the cooktop - do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the cooktop.
Aluminium and copper-based cookware will leave metallic stains on the cooktop. To prevent
these building up, clean the cooktop after every use following the instructions in ‘Care and
cleaning’. If the metallic stains are allowed to burn onto the surface, they may react with the
glass and may no longer be removable. They don’t, however, affect performance.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven, or another cooking zone, on the glass surface
when the surface is cool.
Avoid placing anything on a hot cooking zone until it has cooled completely.

15
Cooking guidelines
Important!
Never leave the appliance unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
Take care when deep-frying: oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high setting.
General cooking tips
Using a lid will reduce cooking times through retaining the heat.
Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
Start cooking on a high setting and reduce it when the food has come to the boil or heated
through.
Even after a cooking zone has been turned off, its glass surface retains enough heat to continue
cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from hot cooking zones when the food is cooked.
Cooking rice, simmering
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.
Simmering occurs below boiling point, when bubbles are just rising occasionally to the surface
of the cooking liquid. It’s the key to delicious soups and tender stews because the flavours
develop without overcooking the food. Egg-based sauces are best kept below boiling point
throughout cooking, and flour-based sauces should also be gently simmered after they have
reached boiling point.
Using the SuperSimmer feature (some models only)
The front right cooking zone on some models has a unique SuperSimmer feature. This allows the
cooking zone to be turned down to very low and even heat settings. These are ideal for melting
chocolate and butter, cooking rice and delicate sauces, simmering soups and stews, and keeping
cooked food hot.
The high settings of the SuperSimmer cooking zone are just as powerful as those of the other
cooking zones, allowing food to be browned, seared, sautéed, or boiled before simmering, all on
the same cooking zones.
Searing steak
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 and season it to taste.
4 Lower the meat onto the hot pan.
5 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 vary between 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.
6 Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax and become tender
before serving.

16 Care and cleaning
What?
soiling examples
How? Important!
Light soiling on
glass after every use
fingerprints and
marks
stains left by
non-sugary
liquids (eg water,
soup, oil)
1 Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and
mild detergent. A microfibre or
‘glass’ cloth is ideal for this.
2 Wipe dry with a clean cloth or
paper towel.
Before cleaning, make sure that
the glass is a safe temperature
to touch.
Non-sugary
boilovers, spills
and food stains on
glass
burnt-on food or
grease
pasta water, milk,
soup
1 Remove the soiling with ceramic
cooktop cleaner using a sponge or
non-abrasive scourer suitable for
ceramic glass.
2 Remove any excess cleaner and
wipe dry with a clean cloth or
paper towel.
3 Apply ceramic cooktop
conditioner or protector following
the instructions on the dispenser.
A microfibre or ‘glass’ cloth is ideal
for this.
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 cleaner residue
on the cooktop: the glass may
become stained.
Important!
For your safety, switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall before any cleaning. In this case,
there will be no ‘Hot surface’ indication, but the cooking zones may still be hot! Take extreme
care.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean your cooktop.
Do not use scourers or any harsh/abrasive cleaning agents to clean your cooktop, as these can
scratch the ceramic glass or stainless steel.
