Power Management
Power management function on Group A
• If both zones are working on/above power stage 7, these two zones will be
automatically switched on and off by turns, which was controlled by software.
• If only one zone is switched on or two zones both working below power stage 7,
there will be no limitation by software.
In Group B all zones can work together without limitation.
Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly
if you’re using Power Boost. At extremely high temperature oil and fat will
ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.
Cooking Tips
• When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting.
• Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
• Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
• Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated
through.

Simmering, cooking rice
• Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 85˚C(185˚F), 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 flavor 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.
Searing steak
To cook juicy flavor some steaks:
1. Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2. Heat up a heavy-based frying pan.
3. Brush both sides of the steak with oil. 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.
For stir-frying
1. Choose a ceramic compatible flat-based wok or a large frying pan.
2. Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick.
If cooking large quantities, cook the food in several smaller batches.
3. Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
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 cooking zone
to a lower setting, return the meat to the pan and add your sauce.
6. Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.
7. Serve immediately.
Heat Settings
The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on several
factors, including your cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment
with the ceramic cooktop to find the settings that best suit you.

This may be caused by
the construction of your
cookware (layers of
different metals
vibrating differently).
This is normal for cookware and
does not indicate a fault.
Some pans make
crackling or clicking
noises.

Care And Cleaning
What? Important!How?
1. Switch the power to the
cooktop off.
2. Apply a cooktop cleaner
while the glass is still
warm (but not hot!)
3. Rinse and wipe dry with
a clean cloth or paper
towel.
4. Switch the power to the
cooktop back on.
• When the power to the
cooktop is switched off, there
will be no ‘hot surface’
indication but the cooking zone
may still be hot! Take extreme
care.
• Heavy-duty scourers, some
nylon scourers and harsh/
abrasive cleaning agents may
scratch the glass. Always read
the label to check if your
cleaner or scourer is suitable.
• Never leave cleaning residue
on the cooktop: The glass may
become stained.
Everyday soiling
on glass
(fingerprints,
marks, stains left
by food or
non-sugary
spillovers on the
glass)
Remove these immediately
with a fish slice, palette knife
or razor blade scraper
suitable for ceramic glass
cooktops, but beware of hot
cooking zone surfaces:
1. Switch the power to the
cooktop off at the wall.
2. Hold the blade or utensil
at a 30° angle and scrape
the soiling or spill to a
cool area of the cooktop.
3. Clean the soiling or spill
up with a dish cloth or
paper towel.
4. Follow steps 2 to 4 for
‘Everyday soiling on
glass’ above.
• Remove stains left by melts
and sugary food or spillovers
as soon as possible. If left to
cool on the glass, they may be
difficult to remove or even
permanently damage the glass
surface.
• Cut hazard: when the safety
cover is retracted, the blade in
a scraper is razor-sharp. Use
with extreme care and always
store safely and out of reach of
children.
