EXPLANATION ON THE FUNCTIONS OF AN
INDUCTION COOKTOP
Cooktop Preparation
Remove and discard any protective lm or labels
that may be attached to the surface of your cooktop.
Wipe the cooktop down with a damp cloth to remove
any builder’s debris or marks.
What is induction cooking?
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, and e󰀩cient
cooking technology. It works by electromagnetic
vibrations generating heat directly into the pan,
rather than indirectly through heating the glass
surface. The glass becomes hot only because the
pan eventually warms it up.
It is fast and responsive to turn dhown. On the lower
power settings the cooktop cycles on and o󰀨 to
control the heat making it very good for simmering.

MODEL GLINDPS
“Plug and Play” 2200W 60cm induction cooktop
This is a new concept in induction cooktops where
for the rst time a Glem Gas induction cooktop can
be plugged into a standard power outlet. The power
is shared between the 3 cooking zones providing
cooking performance similar to a gas cooktop.
The induction cooktop GLINDPS has been designed
with a power limiter. This is to ensure the cooktop
does not exceed 2200W, allowing it to be plugged
into a 10amp power socket where the maximum
supply is 2400W.
When more zones are turned on the power level will
change for each zone. The power is shared when
more than one zone is used at a time.
Power Sharing - Model GLINDPS
1. Use any one zone at full power (level 9)
2. Use any two zones in conjunction at max power
level 7 for both zones (eg. zone 1 & 2, Zone 1 &
3 etc.)
3. Use any three zones in conjunction and the max
power level will be as follows:
Zone 1 – power level 3
Zone 2 – power level 4
Zone 3 – power level 5

BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove and discard all labelling and packaging.
Ensure you have removed all parts and accessories
before disposing of the packaging.
Read this manual and please take note of the
SAFETY WARNINGS section. You will only have to
read it once and it is well worth doing. The thing to
remember about induction cooktops is that they rely
on magnetism to work so if something magnetic is
left on a zone it could get really hot.
Using touch controls
The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to
apply any pressure but you have to use it properly
so it activates. Use the ball of your nger, not its tip.
The cooktop will beep each time a touch is
registered.
NOTE:
Make sure the control panel is always clean, dry,
and that there is no object (e.g., a utensil or a cloth)
covering them. Even a thin lm of water may make
the controls di󰀩cult to operate.
If you think that the cooktop is switching on and o󰀨
when it shouldn’t then for sure there will be water or
some moisture over the control area.
Choosing the correct cookware
Only use 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 it is okay by using a magnet to nd if the
cookware is magnetic. If it is, then it is suitable.
Cookware made from aluminium, ceramic, pure
stainless steel or copper without a magnetic base,
glass or earthenware will not be suitable. One way
to check if a vessel is suitable:
1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.
2. Follow the steps under ‘To start cooking’.
3. If does not ash in the display and the water
is heating, the pan is suitable.
Use pans that are wide enough to completely cover
the cooking area. If it is slightly wider then the
energy will be used at its maximum e󰀩ciency. There
are some minimum diameter requirements and
cookware diameters smaller than shown in the table
will probably not work.
Size of zone mm Min pot diameter mm
160 120
180 140
210 160
280 220
The cooktop is ceramic glass, so any sharp metal
edge has the potential to damage the surface. Do
not use cookware with jagged edges or a base that
is not at.
Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth,
sits at against the glass, and is the same size as
the cooking zone. Always centre your pan on the
cooking zone.
To further protect the glass always lift the pans on
and o󰀨 the cooktop, don’t slide them or they may
scratch the glass.

COOKING GUIDELINES
Take care when frying as oils and fats heat up
rapidly, particularly if you’re using the Power Boost
function. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat
can ignite spontaneously and present a re risk.
Cooking Tips
• When food comes to the boil, reduce the power
setting.
• Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save
energy by retaining the heat.
• Minimise the amount of liquid or fat used to
reduce cooking times.
• Start cooking on a high power and reduce it
when the food has been well heated.

CARE AND CLEANING
