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.
Before using your New Hob
• Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
•Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction hob.
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.

GB-8
Choosing the right 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 whether 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.
•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 from 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.
Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the
same size as the cooking zone. Use pans whose diameter is as large as the graphic of
the zone selected.Using a pot a slightly wider energy will be used at its maximum
efficiency.If you use smaller pot efficiency could be less than expected. Always centre
your pan on the cooking zone.
Always lift pans off the Induction hob –do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
Pan dimensions
The cooking zones are up to a limit, automatically adapted to the diameter of the pan.
However the bottom of this pan must have a minimum of diameter according to the
corresponding cooking zone. To obtain the best efficiency of your hob, please place the
pan in the centre of the cooking zone.

•This area can be used as a large area or as two separate areas, depending on the
cooking needs at any time.
•The flexible region consists of two independent inductors which can be controlled
separately. When it comes to a single area, a cooking utensil can be moved from
one home to another keeping the power level of the previous area. This will stop
heating when it no longer detects the utensil.
•Important: Make sure the pan is centered on the independent cooking area. If you
use a large pot, oval, rectangular, wide pans, make sure they are focused on the
two areas and they cover both cross in the middle of homes.

Simmering, cooking ric
•When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if
you’re using high power. At extremely high temperature oil and fat will
ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.

Cooking Tips
setting.
•Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
•Minimise 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.
e
•Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 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 flavours develop without overcooking the food. You
should also cook egg-based and flourthickened 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 flavoursome 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

1.Choose an induction compatible flat-based wok or a large frying pan.
2. Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-

For stir-frying
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.

Care and Cleaning
What? How? Important!
Everyday soiling on
glass (fingerprints,
marks, stains left by
food or non-sugary
spillovers on the
glass)
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.
Boilovers, melts,
and
hot sugary spills on
the glass
Remove these immediately with
a fish slice, palette knife or razor
blade scraper suitable for
Induction 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.
Spillovers on the
touch controls 1. Switch the power to the cooktop off.
2. Soak up the spill
3. Wipe the touch control area
with a clean damp sponge or
cloth.
4. Wipe the area completely dry
with a paper towel.
5. Switch the power to the
cooktop back on.
•The cooktop may beep and turn
itself off, and the touch controls
may not function while there is
liquid on them. Make sure you wipe
the touch control area dry before
turning the cooktop back on.
