READ AND SAVE THIS GUIDE
To reduce the risk of fire, injury to persons or damage when using the appliance,
follow the important safety instructions listed below. Read all the guidance before
using the appliance. Ensure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
General Use
zNever leave the appliance unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
zNever use your appliance as a work or storage surface.
zWear proper apparel — Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while
using the appliance.
zDo not leave any magnetic item, e.g. cutlery, roast dish, etc. on your cooktop, including
the cooking zones and user interface.
zDo not place or leave any magnetisable objects (eg credit cards, memory cards) or
electronic devices (eg computers, MP3 players) near the appliance, as they may be
affected by its electromagnetic field.
zWe recommend using plastic or wooden kitchen utensils for cooking with your
induction cooktop.
zStorage in or on appliance — Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or
near surface units.
zDo not place or leave aluminum foil on the cooktop.
zNever use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
zDo not use water on grease fires – Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
zUse 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.
zUse proper pan size — This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of
different size. Always place small pans in the centre of the cooking zone.
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.
zAfter use, always turn off the cooking zones and the cooktop as described in this guide
(ie by using the touch controls). Do not rely on the pan detection feature to turn off the
cooking zones when you remove the pans.
zDo not use a steam cleaner to clean your cooktop.
zDo not place or drop heavy objects on your cooktop.
zDo not stand on your cooktop.
zDo not use pans with jagged edges or drag pans across the ceramic glass surface as
this can scratch the glass.
zDo not use scourers or any other harsh/abrasive cleaning agents to clean your cooktop,
as these can scratch the ceramic glass.
zDo not operate your cooktop by means of an external timer or separate remote-
control system.
zDo not cook on broken cooktop — If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.

COOKWARE
Quickest heating Performance
High content of ferromagnetic material. Heating area is
consistent across the base and up the sides of pan.
Average heating Performance
Reduced area of ferromagnetic material. Reduced zone of
heating, results in poor performance and slower heating.
Slow heating Performance
Very limited area of ferromagnetic material. Results in very
slow heating performance.
Note: This type of pot is good for very delicate tasks such
as melting chocolate, as heating is very slow.
The quality of your cookware can affect cooking performance. Only use induction-
compatible cookware that has been specifically designed for induction cooking.
Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or the bottom of the pan.
Other cookware considerations
Ensure the base of your cookware is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is similar in size
as the cooking zone. A small pot on a large cooking zone may not be detected. Always
centre your pan on the cooking zone and lift pans off the cooktop – do not slide, or they
may scratch the glass.
Suitable cookware material:
zstainless steel –
with a magnetic base or core
zaluminium and copper –
with a magnetic base or core
zcast iron
zsteel
zenamelled steel.
Unsuitable cookware material:
zaluminium or copper –
without a magnetic base
zglass
zwood
zporcelain
zceramic or earthenware.
To check if cookware material, carry out a magnet test:
Move a magnet across the base of the pan. If the magnet is attracted, the pan is induction
suitable. Ensure attraction is consistent across the base of the pan. If there are gaps, such
as an indented manufacturer’s logo, then the performance will be impaired.
If you do not have a magnet, fill the pan with some water and see section 'Using your
cooktop'. If does not flash and the water is heating, pan is suitable.

If a display flashes alternately with the heat setting
This means that:
zyou have not placed a pan on the correct cooking zone or

The SmartZones are large and can
accommodate several small pots. These
small pots will be detected as one large pot.
The entire SmartZone is activated when
a pot is detected. This means that other
magnetic items (such as cutlery) sitting in
the cooking zone will heat up.
Do not leave cutlery or other magnetic
items on your cooktop.
Dual zone cooking (CI365DTB models only)
When using a small pot on the dual cooking zone, be sure to centre it so that the inner zone
will detect the pan. If the pan covers the outer zone, then the outer zone will automatically
switch on.
Place your pot on the cooktop over the two
zones you wish to use, covering both zones.
