Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly,
particularly if you’re using high power. At extremely high temperatures
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 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.
Simmering, cooking rice
• 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 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 flavoursome steaks:
1. Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
17

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 an induction 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 induction cooktop to find the settings that best suit you.
Heat setting Suitability
1 - 2 • delicate warming for small amounts of food
• melting chocolate, butter, and foods that burn quickly

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.

Filter Maintenance and Replacement
Your Kleenmaid Air Extraction System has the following types of filters:
1. The visible aluminum grease filter. These filters should be removed, cleaned and re-
installed at least every three months, and more often if food is regularly fried or grilled. These
filters may be cleaned either with a soft-bristled brush in warm soapy water, or in a dishwasher
(without other items to avoid contaminating the filter). Ensure that each filter is completely dry
before re-installing it into the centre of the cooktop. Normally these filters will last the life of the
extractor however if they are damaged in any way, replacements may be purchased by
emailing [email protected] or calling 02 9310 1207.
To clean the filter:
-Ensure appliance is turned off.
-Remove the inlet grill in the centre of the cooktop.
-Remove grease filter cassette and remove filter from cassette.
-Wash filter in dishwasher, allow to dry and replace filter in cassette.
-Replace grease filter cassette, ensuring the hole in the side of the cassette
is on the same side as the air outlet.
-Replace inlet grill.
2. The internal Kleenmaid KleenAir Activated Charcoal (or “Carbon”) Filter. This filter is
located in the air outlet box mounted in the kick plate and removes cooking odours from the
air if the extractor is installed in recirculating rather than venting mode. These filters cannot
be cleaned and will require replacement. The effective life of the filter depends on the type
and amount of cooking you do. Generally the life of these filters is approximately six months.
However, always replace the filter when it no longer absorbs odours effectively. When
replacement KleenAir Activated Charcoal filters are required they may be purchased by
visiting the Kleenmaid website www.kleenmaid.com.au, emailing
[email protected] or calling 02 9310 1207.
To change the KleenAir Activated Charcoal filter:
-Ensure appliance is turned off.
-Remove the stainless steel outlet grill from the kickplate.
-Remove carbon filter box behind outlet grill, take out charcoal filter and replace with new
filter.
-Replace carbon filter box and stainless steel outlet grill.
20
Warning: It must be ensured that the filters are correctly installed whenever the Air
Extraction System is operating. Failure to do so may damage the extractor and such damage
will not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
