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.
• 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, 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
avors develop without the food being overcooked. You should also
cook egg-based and our-thickened sauces below boiling point.
• Some tasks, including cooking rice using the absorption method,
may require a setting higher than the lowest setting to ensure the
food is properly cooked in the recommended time.
Searing steak
To cook juicy avorsome steaks:
1. Leave 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. Only turn the steak once during cooking. The exact cooking time
will depend on the thickness of the steak and how you want it
cooked. Times may vary from about 2 – 8 minutes per side. Press
the steak to gauge how cooked it is – the rmer 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.

Stir-frying
1. Choose a ceramic compatible at-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 briey and add two tablespoons of oil.
4. Cook any meat rst, then put it aside and keep it 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.

2.4. TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Possible causes What to do
The hob will
not turn on. No power. Make sure the hob is connected to the power
supply and that it is
switched on.
Check whether there is a
power outage in your home
or area. If you’ve checked
everything and the problem
persists, call a qualied
technician.
The touch
controls are
unresponsive.
The controls are
locked. Unlock the controls. See section ‘Using your ceramic
hob’ for instructions.
The touch
controls are
difcult to
operate.
There may be a slight
lm of water over the
controls, or you may
be using the tip and
not the ball of your
nger when touching
the controls.
Make sure the touch control
area is dry and use the
ball of your nger when
touching them.
The glass
is being
scratched.
Rough-edged
cookware.
Unsuitable, abrasive
scourers or cleaning
products being used.
Use cookware with at
and smooth bases.
See ‘Choosing the right
cookware’.
See ‘Maintenance’.
Some pans
make crackling
or clicking
noises.
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.
