3. Description of the appliance
About Induction Cooking
The principle of induction is based on a magnetic phenomenon.
It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the
pan ,and raising its temperature instantly, rather than indirectly through
heating the glass surface . Therefor induction cooking is safe,
advanced, efficient, and economical.

9. Automatic cooking
Boiling function
This function brings the content of the pan to a boil and keeps it boiling.
Simmering function
The temperature of the dish is constantly kept near the boiling point.
Function for keeping warm
The setting for keeping warm works best with a lid on the pan.

Use cookware that matches the diameter of the cooking zone. Low heat
or slow cooking is often due to incorrect cookware size.
How to check the suitability of your cookware
Cookware
Do not use curve-based cookware. Saucepans or heavy frying pans with
jagged edges or a rough base will scratch the glass.
Use heavy-gauge, flat, smooth-based cookware. We recommend that
you select cookware with a thick, flat bottom. The heat will be distributed
better and cooking will be more uniform.
Always lift pans off the cooktop, do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
NOTE:
The characteristics of the pan base may affect the uniformity of the
cooking results. Pans made from materials which help diffuse heat, such as
stainless steel sandwich pans, distribute heat uniformly, saving time and
energy.
It is safe to put a hot cookware from the oven, or another cooking zone,
on the glass surface when the surface is cool.
Avoid placing anything on a hot cooking zone until it has cooled
completely.
6. Cooking Guidelines
■ Always use a correctly fitting lid for the pan.Cooking without
the lid requires four times as much energy. A glass lid allows
you to observe the cooking without having to lift the lid off.
■Use pans equipped with a solid, flat bottom. Curved pan
bases increase energy consumption.
■ The diameter of the base of your pot or pan should match the
size of the hotplate. In particular, If the diameter of the pan is not the same
as the diameter of the hotplate, it is preferable to use a pan with a bottom
that is larger in diameter than the hotplate, if pots that are too small are
placed on a hotplate, energy will be wasted. Please note:
Cookware manufacturers often specify the diameter of the pan.
Choose pans of a size suited to the amount of food you are
going to cook. A large saucepan containing little food requires more
energy.
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.
Put some water in the vessel you want to check, place the vessel
on a cooking zone, and switch the cooking zone on. If there is shows
in the display area, then it means your cookware cannot be used with
induction cooking.
5. Suitable Cookwares
Suitable cookwares
Ferromagnetic cookware or cookware with ferromagnetic base.
Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or the bottom of the
pan.
Improper cookwares
Glass, terra ,cotta, wood, porcelain, ceramic, earthenware,
aluminum without a special finish on the bottom, copper and some
non-magnetic stainless steels.
Tips for saving energy

■Use a small amount of water when cooking. This will save energy. It
also preserves vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
7. Care and Cleaning
• For cleaning, the appliance must be switched off and cooled down.
• For safety reasons, the cleaning of the appliance with steam jet or high
pressure cleaning equipment is not permitted.
• Do not use scourers or any harsh/abrasive cleaning agents to clean your
cooktop, as these can scratch the ceramic glass or stainless steel.
Kind of dirt?
Soiling on glass (fingerprints, marks, dust, food particles, or non-sugary
spillovers on the glass)
What to do?
Switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall.
Wipe the appliance with a damp clothand cooktop cleaner.
Wipe the appliance dry using a clean cloth.
Dust, fat and liquids from food that has boiled over must be removed as

Kind of dirt?
Non-sugary boilovers: dust, fat and liquids from food that has boiled over,
hot sugary spills on the surface
what to do?
Switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall.
Use a a fish slice, palette knife or razor blade scraper as soon as
possible.
°Hold the scraper or utensil at a 30 angle and scrape the soiling or spill

Remove the soiling with ceramic cooktop cleaner using a sponge or non-
abrasive scourer suitable for ceramic glass as soon as possible.
Remove any excess cleaner and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Apply ceramic cooktop conditioner or protector following the instructions
on the dispenser. A micro fiber or ‘glass’ cloth is the best choice.
Important：
Remove stains left by melts and sugary food or spillovers as soon as possible.
If they are allowed to harden they become increasingly difficult to remove. And
they could permanently pit the surface of the hob if left to burn on it.
Cut hazard: The blade of scraper is razor-sharp. Use extreme care and always
store safely and out of reach of children.
NOTE:
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.
Do not use heavy-duty scourers, some nylon scourers and harsh/abrasive
cleaning agents such as oven spray or stain remover.
Never leave cleaning residue on the cooktop: the glass may become stained.
