Introducing your cooktop
Congratulations on your new purchase. Your Fisher & Paykel induction cooktop is the ultimate in
induction cooking, giving you the speed, precision, and simplicity of electronic control, and the
easy-care elegance of a ceramic glass surface. For more information, visit our local website listed
on the back cover.
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.
This technology has a number of advantages over traditional radiant energy cooking:
Heat-up times are much faster.
Use is safer as no heating takes place unless a suitable pan is placed on the cooking zone.
As heat is transferred without loss, you save energy.
Before using your new cooktop
Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety and warnings’ section.
Remove any protective film that may still be on your 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.
Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and there is no object (eg a utensil or a cloth)
covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate.

Choosing the right cookware
Important!
Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking.
Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or 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’ opposite.
3 If does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminium or
copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, 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 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.
Always lift pans off the cooktop– do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.

13
If a display flashes alternately with the heat setting
This means that:
you have not placed a pan on the correct cooking zone or
the pan you’re using is not suitable for induction cooking or
the pan is too small or not properly centred on the cooking zone.
No heating takes place unless there is a suitable pan on the cooking zone.
The cooktop will automatically turn off after 10 minutes if no suitable pan is placed on it.
Dual zone cooking (CI905DTB & CI603DTB 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.
SmartZones (CI604DTB & CI302DBT models only)
The SmartZones are large. You may place several small pots on the SmartZone and they will be
detected as if they were one large pot.
Important!
The whole of the SmartZone is activated when a pot is detected. This means that other magnetisable items
(such as cutlery) sitting in the cooking zone will heat up.
Never leave cutlery or other magnestisable items on your cooktop.

16 Using your cooktop’s special features
Using the PowerBoost feature
This feature enables you to sear meat or bring liquid to the boil very quickly. When a cooking
zone is set for PowerBoost, it uses more than 100% of the power of that particular cooking zone,
resulting in a boost of intense heat.
Important!
PowerBoost heats food and liquids very quickly. Do not leave the cooktop unattended when using this
feature.
To set a cooking zone for PowerBoost
When PowerBoost is set
The cooking zone will be on PowerBoost (more than 100%) for 10 minutes, Pwill then flash for
a few seconds before the cooking zone automatically reduces the heat to setting 9(100%).
To quit the PowerBoost setting
Either touch or slide the setting selector to a new setting or to 0to turn the cooking zone off.
1 With the cooktop turned on, touch or slide the setting selector up to the last setting on the right
until Pis displayed.

Note:
You can set two (CI603DTB, CI604DTB and CI754DT) or three (CI905DTB) cooking zones for
PowerBoost, as long as one is not behind the other. For example:
If one cooking zone is set to PowerBoost and you accidentally select a second cooking zone
immediately in front or behind it also setting it to PowerBoost, the first cooking zone will warn
you that the configuration is not possible, flash Pand then automatically reduce its power level.
When a cooking zone is set for PowerBoost, the cooking zone immediately in front of or behind
may automatically reduce its power level.
PowerBoost is not available if cooking zones are bridged.
