An Introduction To Induction Cooking
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology. It
works by
electrom agne tic 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.

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. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
Always lift pans off the induction cooker – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
10
For maximum efficiency the pot should be the same size as the cooking zone, with
the pan centred on the cooking zone. Pots with a diameter larger than the cooking
zone should not be used.
Whilst there is no maximum weight limit specified for each cooking zone, if the pot
used is the same diameter as the cooking zone then a full pot may be used safely.
Should it be necessary to use a smaller pot, the table below shows the minimum
allowable pot dimensions for each cooking zone:

Using your Induction Cooktop
To start cooking
After power on, the buzzer sounds once, all the displays light up for 1 second then go
out, indicating that the cooker has entered the state of standby mode.
1. Touch the ON/OFF control all the displays show “-“
2. Place a suitable pan on the cooking zone that you wish to
use. Ensure the bottom of the pan and the surface of the
cooking zone are clean and dry.
3. Set the power level by sliding a finger along the Cooking
Zone/Power Level selection control,or just touch “^” or “v”
and an indicator next to the control will flash for 5 seconds,
then show the selected power level.
•If you don’t choose a heat setting within 1 minute, the cooktop will
automatically switch off. You will need to start again at step 1.
•You can modify the heat setting at any time during cooking.
•When sliding a finger along the Cooking Zone/Power Level selection
control power levels will vary from stage 1 to stage 9.
11
If the display flashes alternately with the
heat setting
•you have not placed a pan on the correct cooking zone or,
• the pan you’re using is not suitable for induction cooking or,
•the pan is too small or not properly centred on the cooking zone.
No heating takes place unless there is a suitable pan on the cooking zone. The
display will automatically turn off after 1 minute if no suitable pan is placed on it.
This means that:

When you have finished cooking
1. Touch the cooking zone selection control that you wish to switch off.
2. Turn the cooking zone off by touching the “v” and slide along the selection
control to the left point,and then hold "v" for 1 second.
Ensure the power display shows "0", then shows "H" (see Residual Heat warning
on page 15).
3. Turn the whole cooktop off by touching the “ON/OFF” control.
4. Beware of hot surfaces. “H” will show which cooking zone is hot to touch. It will
disappear when the surface has cooled down to a safe temperature. It can also be
used as an energy saving function if you want to heat further pans, use the hotplate
that is still hot.
Using Boost Function
Boost Function is a function that maximizes power to a selected cooking zone.
When activated the function operates for 5 minutes and provides faster, more
powerful cooking e.g. to heat a large pot of water to cook rice or pasta.
Boost Function can be used on all cooking zones.
Restrictions when using Boost Function
The five cooking zones are divided into two groups, a & b. In group a, if using
boost on one zone, first ensure that the other zone is working on/below power
level 5. In Group b, if one zone is working at boost mode, only one of the
other two zones will work at the same time.
12
1. Touch the cooking zone selection control of the zone that you wish to boost, an
indicator next to the control will flash 5 seconds.
2. Hold the cooking zone selection control for 3 seconds then the cooking zone will
begin to work at Boost mode.

The power display will show “P” to indicate that the Boost function is operating on
that zone.
Boost power will operate for 5 minutes and then the zone will go back to the
power level which was set before Boost.
To cancel the Boost function during the 5 minute duration, touch the cooking
zone selection control, and an indicator next to the control will flash. Hold the
cooking zone selection control “ ” for 3 seconds then the cooking zone will go
back to the power level which was set before boost.
This area can be used as a single zone or as two different zones, according to
cooking needs. The Flex Zone comprises two independent cooking zones that
can be controlled separately.
Important: Make sure to place the cookware centered on the single cooking zone.
When using a large pot, or oval, rectangular and elongated pans ensure to place
the pans centered on the cooking zone covering both crosses (see diagram
below).
Examples for correct and incorrect pot placements:
Using the Flex Zone Function
Using the Flex Zone as one large zone.
To activate the Flex Zone as a single large zone, first select one of the 2 zones as
described in "To start cooking" on page 11. Next press the Flex Zone control
shown in the diagram below. For left Flex Zone, press the control on the left. For
right Flex Zone, press the control on the right.
The power setting works as for any other normal area.
13

Using the Flex Zone as two independent zones.
To use the flexible area as two different zones with different power settings, press
the slider of the heating zone again, then touch the Flex Zone control, the
indicator next to the Flex Zone control will disappear and the zones will return
into their previous settings.
Using the Barbecue Function
The BBQ Function may be used during the Flex Zone mode to allow the pan surface
temperature to remain at an evenly distributed level.
1. Touch the cooking zone selection control for which you wish to use the BBQ
Function, and an indicator next to the control will flash.
2. Touch and hold the Flex Zone/BBQ control for 3 seconds to activate the
BBQ function. Then ‘b’ and ‘q’ will be displayed.
Using the Keep Warm Function
The keep-warm function helps retain the temperature of cooked food for long
durations while consuming very little energy.
1. Touch the cooking zone selection control for which you wish to use the Keep
Warm function and an indicator next to the control will flash.
2. Touch the Keep warm function control (see 4 on Control Panel
diagram page 8), and the cooking zone indicator will display “A”.
3. If you want to cancel this function, touch the cooking zone selection
control, then touch the Keep Warm control. The heating zone will go
back to “0” power level.
Using the Pause/Resume Function
3The Pause/Resume function means you can quickly delay cooking without losing
your settings should you need to leave the kitchen.
1. Whilst the cooking zone is operating, touch the Pause /Resume control (see 5
on the Control Panel diagram on page 8), and the cooking zone indicator will
show “ll”. The operation of the induction cooktop will be deactivated for all
cooking zones, except the Pause/Resume, On/Off and Lock controls.
2. To cancel the pause status, touch the Pause /Resume control and the cooking
zone will go back to the previously set power level.

Safety Features
Locking the Controls
The cooktop controls may be locked to prevent unintended use (for example children
accidentally turning a cooking zone on). When the controls are locked, all the
controls except the On/Off control are disabled.
To lock the controls
Touch the keylock control (see 5 on the Control Panel diagram page 8)
and hold for 3 seconds. The timer indicator will show “Lo”.

To unlock the controls
Whilst the cooktop is turned on touch and hold the keylock control for 3 seconds.
When the control panel is locked all the controls except the On/Off
control are disabled. The cooktop may be turned off and on using the
On/Off control but the control panel will need to be unlocked prior to
further use.
Over-temperature Protection
An inbuilt temperature sensor monitors the temperature inside the cooktop . When
an excessive temperature is detected, the cooktop will stop operation automatically.
Residual Heat Warning
When the cooktop has been operating for some time, there will be residual heat.
The letter “H” (Residual Heat Indicator) appears on the display as a warning
against possible injury from hot surfaces. It will disappear when the surface has
cooled to a safe temperature.
Spill Protection
The cooktop will beep and shut down after a certain quantity of liquid overflows
onto the controls. This occurs approximately 5 seconds after a liquid spill covers 2
or more controls, therefore a front spill is detected sooner than a rear spill.
Should the Spill Protection function operate, turn off the power, follow the usual
precautions for cleaning up hot liquids and ensure the cooktop is dry before
recommencing cooking. (See Care and Cleaning page 19)
15

Detection of Small/Unsuitable Articles
When an unsuitable size or non-magnetic pan (e.g. aluminium) or some other
unsuitable item (e.g. key, knife, fork) has been left on the induction cooktop,
the cooktop automatically goes to standby after 1 minute. The cooling fan will
operate for a further 1 minute. The symbol will flash in the Power level
display.
Auto Shutdown Protection
Auto Shutdown Protection is a safety feature of your induction cooktop. It
shuts down automatically if you forget to switch off power to a cooking zone.
The default shutdown times are shown in the table below:
Power level 123456789
Default working timer

Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly,
particularly if you’re using the Boost function of the induction cooktop.
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 power 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.
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.
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 the doneness you prefer. 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.
19

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.
