■What is induction technology?
With features like safety, easy care, and energy efficiency, induction hobs have
become the choice of cooking professionals as well as those who love home cooking
around the globe� Induction hobs represent one of the symbolic home appliances
that make everyone’s life better�

Top plate
IH (Induction Heating) refers to
electromagnetic induction heating. When
electricity flows in the magnetic coils
underneath the top plate, magnetic lines
of force pass through metallic cookware
when an eddy current is induced. The
heat that is generated by the electrical
resistance of the cookware is used for
heating.

Residual Heat Warning
When the hob has been operating for some time, there will be some residual heat. The
letter appears and blinks to warn you to keep away. The letter will disappear when
the hob has cooled down.
WARNING
Beware of hot surfaces�

Cooking Guidelines
WARNING
Take care when frying as the oil and fat will heat up very quickly� 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 time and save energy by retaining the heat.
• Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking time.
• Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has been heated
through.
Simmering, cooking rice
• Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 85 ˚C (185 °F), 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 flavors do not develop when food is overcooked. You should
also stop cooking egg-based and flour thickened sauces before reaching boiling point.
• Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a setting
higher than the recommended setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time
recommended.
Searing steak
• To cook juicy flavorsome 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 put the meat in 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 tender you want it. The cooking time may vary from
about 2 – 8 minutes per side. Press the steak to judge how cooked it is; the firmer it
feels the more ‘well done’ it is.
5. Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to rest and
become tender before serving.

EN-16
Using the Induction Hob
Stir-frying
1. Choose a flat-based wok or a large frying pan.
2. Be ready with all the ingredients and equipment. 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 pan and add seasoning.
6. Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.
7. Serve immediately.

The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on several factors,
including the type of cookware used and the cooking portion. Experiment with the Induction
Hob to find the settings that best suit you.

Cleaning and Maintenance
What How Important!
■Everyday
dirt on the
Glass Panel
(fingerprints,
marks, stains
left by food or
non-sugary
spillovers on
the glass)
1. Switch OFF the power.
2. Apply a neutral detergent
while the glass is cool down.
3. Rinse and wipe dry with a
clean cloth or paper towel.
• When the power is switched
off and there are no hot
surfaces, indication
will disappear but extreme
care should be taken as the
cooking zone may still be hot.
• Hard scourers, some nylon
scourers and harsh abrasive
cleaning agents may scratch
the Glass Panel. Make sure
the cleaner or the scourer is
suitable.
• Never leave residues left from
cleaning on the Induction
Hob: the Glass Panel may be
permanently stained.
■Boil-overs,
melted and hot
sugary spills on
the Glass Panel�
Remove these immediately with
a palette knife or a razor blade
scraper that is suitable for the
Glass Panel, but beware of the
hot cooking zone surface:
1. Switch OFF the power.
2. Hold the blade or utensil at a
30° angle and scrape the dirt
or the spill to a cool area of
the Induction Hob.
3. Follow steps 2 to 3 for
‘Everyday dirt on the Glass
Panel’.
• Remove stains left by melted
and sugary food or spillovers
as soon as possible. If left to
cool on the Glass Panel, they
may be difficult to remove or
even permanently damage
the glass surface.
• Cut hazard: when the safety
cover is removed, the blade
of a scraper is razor-sharp.
Handle with extreme care and
always store it safely, out of
children’s reach.
• Take extreme care when
handling utensils with a blade,
the Glass Panel may scratch.
■Spillovers
on the touch
controls�
1. Switch OFF the power.
2. Absorb the spill with paper or
dry cloth.
3. Wipe the touch control area
with a clean damp sponge or
cloth.
4. Wipe the area until it is
completely dry with a paper
towel.
• The Induction Hob may
beep and turn itself off, and
the touch controls may not
function when there is liquid
on it.
• Make sure you dry the touch
control area before turning
ON the Induction Hob again.

EN-18
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible causes Solution
■The Induction Hob
cannot be switched ON�
No power. Make sure the Induction
Hob is connected to the
power supply and that
it is switched on. Check
whether there is a power
shortage in your home or
area. If you have checked
everything and the problem
still persists, call a qualified
technician for assistance.
■The touch controls are
not responding�
The controls are locked. Unlock the controls. See
section ‘Safety Features for
Induction Hob’.
■The touch controls are
difficult to operate�
There may be a slight film
of water over the controls or
you may be using the tip of
your finger when touching
the controls.
Make sure the touch control
area is dry and use the ball
of your finger when touching
the controls.
■The Glass Panel has
been scratched�
Rough-edged cookware.
Unsuitable, abrasive
scourer or cleaning products
used.
Use cookware with flat and
smooth base. See ‘Types
of Cookware that can be
used’.
See ‘Cleaning and
Maintenance’.
■Some cookware 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 the
cookware and does not
indicate a fault.
■The Induction Hob
makes a low humming
noise when used on a
high heat setting�
This is caused by the
technology of induction
cooking.
This is normal, and the
noise should quieten down
or disappear completely
when you decrease the heat
setting.
