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.

faint humming noise when
used at high temperature.
This is normal and requires no action. Do not
unplug induction cooktop from the mains
while fan is rotating.
Fan noise coming from the
induction cooktop.
Induction cooktop may not detect
the pot, because it is not suited to
induction cooking.
Use cooking pots for induction cooking. See
the section “Choosing The Right Cookware”.
Induction cooktop may not detect
the pot, because it is too small for
the cooking zone or not properly
centred.
Pots do not heat and screen
display.
Centre the pan and ensure its base
corresponds to the size of the cooking zone.
Technical fault.
The induction cooktop or a
cooking zone switches off
unexpectedly, a beep
sounds and an error code

Before Using Your New Induction Cooktop
• Read this guide, taking special note of the “Safety Warning” section.
• Remove any protective film that may still be on your induction 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.
• You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
• Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object(e.g. a utensil or a cloth) covering them.
Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate.
Choosing The Right Cookware
• Use only cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the
packaging or on the bottom of the pan.
• You can check if 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 cooking.
• If you do not have a magnet:
1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.
2. If does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
• Cookware made of the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper without a
magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
Ensure the bottom of your pan is smooth, rests flat against the glass and is level with the cooking zone. Use pans
with a diameter larger than the outline of the zone selected. Using a slightly wider pan produces maximum
efficiency. If you use a smaller pan, efficiency might be less than desired. A pan of less than 5/in might not be
detected by the cooktop. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.

your detergent or scourer is suitable.
• Never leave residues of detergent on
the cooking surface, the glass may be
stained.
Every day stains on the glass
(finger and other marks,
spots left by the food or
spillage to crystallised on
the glass).
Wipe immediately with a slice of
bread, a knife or a razor blade
suited to glass induction cooktop,
but beware of hot cooking zone
surfaces:
1. Cut off the power to cooktop.
2. Hold the blade or utensil at an
angle of 30° and scrape off the
dirt or liquid on the cold surface
of the cooktop.
3. Clean the stains or spill with a
paper or cloth towel.
4. Follow steps 2 to 4 in “Every day
stains on the glass” above.
1. Cut off the power to cooktop.
2. Mop up the spill.
3. Wipe the surface of touch setting
controls with a cloth or clean,
damp sponge.
4. Wipe the zone completely dry
with a paper towel.
5. Switch on cooktop.

2. When cooking timer expires, the corresponding heating zone will be automatically
switched off and show .
NOTE: If you want to change the time after the timer is set, you have to start from step 1.
Cooking Instructions
Pay attention when frying, because oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if using the power boost
function. At extremely elevated temperatures oil and fat spontaneously burst into flames, and this poses a serious
fire risk.
Advice on cooking
• When the food reaches boiling point, reduce the temperature.
• Use a cover can reduce cooking time and save energy by retaining heat.
• Reduce the quantity of liquid or fat can reduce cooking time.
• Begin cooking at a high temperature and reduce the setting when the food is re-heated.

cooking liquid. This is the key to delicious soups and tender stews, because the flavours develop without
overcooking the food. You can also cook sauces based on eggs and thicken them below boiling point.
• Certain tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a more elevated setting than the
lowest to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time recommended.
Searing steaks
To cook juicy, flavourful steaks:
1. Place the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2. Heat a frying pan with a thick bottom.
3. Coat the two sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a little oil in the hot pan and then place the meat in.
