INTRODUCTION
Introducing your cooktop
Congratulations on your new purchase. Your 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
To check if cookware is suitable
● Carry out a magnet test:
● Move a magnet across the base of the pan.
If the magnet is attracted then the pan is induction suitable.
● Note: Make sure attraction is consistent across the base of the pan.
If there are gaps, such as an indented manufacturer’s logo,
then the performance of the pan will be impaired.
● If you do not have a magnet:
1Put some water in the pan you want to check.
2Follow the steps under ‘To start cooking’.
3If does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
Quality of cookware
IMPORTANT!
● 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.
● Cookware that has a high content of ferromagnetic material that continues up from
the base into the sides of the pan will give the best cooking performance.
See below:
Quickest heating
Performance
High content of
ferromagnetic material.
Heating area is
consistent across the
base and continues up
the sides of pan.
Average heating
Performance
Reduced area of
ferromagnetic material.
Reduced zone of
heating, results in poor
cooking 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.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT COOKWARE
Cookware guidelines
● Cookware made from the following materials is suitable:
● stainless steel with a magnetic base or core
● aluminium and copper with a magnetic base or core
● cast iron
● steel or enamelled steel.
● Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable:
● pure stainless steel
● aluminium or copper without a magnetic base
● glass
● wood
● porcelain
● ceramic or 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.
