Cooking tips
Match the size of the pan to the burner, You may not need to change burners during cooking
because each Aero _''burner goes from very high to very low,
For best results use high-quality pans with flat, thick bases,
Only use just enough water to cover the food when boiling and use a lid on the pan to reduce
the cooking time and save energy.
For the small burner, pans should be 4" (10 cm) or larger in diameter,
For the medium burner, pans should be 6" (1S cm) or larger in diameter,
For the wok burner, pans should be 7" (18 cm) or larger in diameter, Woks should be no larger
than 16" (40 cm)_ Check that your wok is adequately supported by the wok stand.
Using the CookSurface's special talents
The Aero _''burners on your CookSurface are versatile, highly responsive and operate over a wide
range of settings, Turning the dial gives you accurate and repeatable control of the flame, Once
you know what setting is right for your cooking task, you can always use that exact setting for
the task.
Simmering, keeping food warm, and cooking rice
The low turn-down on the smaller Aero '' burners is perfect for delicate tasks, and for keeping
hot food warm. Experiment with the low settings until you find the one that suits your pans and
the food you are cooking,
Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 185 °F (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 flavors develop without overcooking the food. You should also cook egg--based and
flour-thickened 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.

Cooking guidelines
Searing steak
To cook juicy flavorsome steaks:
"l Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2 Heat up a heavy--based frying pan.
s Brush both sides of the steak with oik Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and then
lower the meat onto the hot pan.
4 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 may vary from about 2 - 8 minutes per side. Press
the steak to gauge how cooked it is - the firmer it feels the more 'well done' it will be_
5 Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax and become tender
before serving_

Using a wok
Cooking guidelines
Use your wok oMy on the wok burner°
When using a wo£ Mways use the wok stando
Make sure the wok stand iSfitted correcdy over the raised pan supports° (.seeF@°2)
Do not use a wok larger than 16" (40 cm) diameter° Check that your wok is adequately supported
by the wok stand,
Make sure the w,ok does not push any other pans aside. ThLscould make them unstable, or deflect
heat onto nearby waNs or the countertop_
Fig2 Wok stand i ploced onto the raised wok burner pan supports
For stir-frying
1 Have all the ingredients and equipment ready, Stir-frying should be quick, If cooking large
q uantities, cook the food several smaller batches,
2 Preheat the wok for a minute or so with the burner turned up high enough to heat the sides of
the wok, {If your wok is small or thin-based, this may not be the highest setting on the burner,)
s Drizzle two tablespoons of oil around the sides of the hot wok, allowing it to run down into the
base,
4 Cook any meat first, put it aside and keep warm,
5 Stir-fry the vegetables, When they are hot but still crisp, turn the burner to low, return the meat
to the wok and add your sauce,
6 Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.
7 Serve immediately.

Care and cleaning
Melts and spills that require immediate attention
Anything that melts onto the ceramic glass surface or food spills with a high sugar content may
cause pitting of the ceramic glass surface if [eft there to coo[, Using extreme caution, remove
these spills immediately with a fish slice, palette knife or cooktop scraper, Take care when
working around the hot surfaces and ensure you do not scratch the glass or damage the trim
rings or pan support pins. Examples of melts and spi[B requiring immediate attention include:
melted pBtic wrap
melted aluminum foil
sugar, sugary syrups, jams and jellies
vegetables and vegetable water with a high sugar content eg peas, sweet corn, beet.
Cleaning the ceramic glass
For best results, do not let spills and stains become burnt onto the ceramic glass. Clean the
CookSurface after every use, Simply lower the cooled pan supports and the control dials and
wipe the CookSurface with a damp, soft cloth and mild detergent. A microfiber cloth is ideal for
this tasL Most soiling is very easy to remove because the glass does not get as hot as an electric
ceramic glass cooktop, Soften stubborn stains under a soapy cloth,
Ceramic cooktop cleaner
Ceramic cooktop cleaner may be used to spot<lean stubborn stains, Follow the instructions on
the container. If you must use a razor blade scraper, take care not to damage the trim rings.
ff cooktop cleaner residue Lsleft on the trim rings, it can dry on and may cause the pan supports,
control diats and power button to get stuck. Be caret°ul and wipe around the trim rings and not
over them,

To dean the burner head
1 Lift out the burner head and clean with a cloth or scourer.The burner head gets much hotter
than the pan support pins and for this reason it is not finished with an easy--clean coating, If
cooking splatter and spilb get burnt onto the burner head, scrub with a mildly abrasive cleaner
and a soft cloth. Ceramic cooktop cleaner is suitable for this.
2 RepIacethe dean burner head.
