Before using your Ceramic Hob
•Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ secon.
•Remove any protecve film that may sll be on your ceramic hob.
Note: you may noce a lile smoke when you turn the hob on for the first me. The smoke is due
to the manufacturing residues le on the hob.
Choosing the right Cookware
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 li pans offthe ceramic hob – do not slide, as they may scratch the glass.

7
Using your Ceramic Hob
To start cooking
1. Turn on power supply to the hob.
2. Place a suitable pan on the cooking zone you wish to use.
•Make sure the boom of the pan and the surface
of the cooking zone are clean and dry.
3. Turn the associated knob clockwise to turn on the cooking zone.
When you have finished cooking
1. Turn the associated knob to the “0” (OFF) posion.
Note: the cooking zone will remain hot for a lile while aer it has been turned off.
A residual heat indicator will light up unl the cooking zone temperature has dropped to
a safe level.
Note: the cooking zone will remain warm aer the residual heat indicator is no longer
illuminated. Please take care.

Cooking Guidelines
Cooking Tips
•When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature seng.
•Using a lid will reduce cooking mes and save energy by retaining the heat.
•Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking mes.
•Start cooking on a high heat seng then reduce the heat once 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 as the
flavours develop without overcooking the food.
•Some items, including cooking rice by the absorpon method, may require a seng higher than
the lowest seng to ensure the food is cooked properly in the me recommended.
Searing steak
To cook juicy steaks:
1. Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2. Heat up a heavy-based boom 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 pan.
4. Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking me will depend on the thickness of
the steak and the desired degree of cooking. Times may vary between 2 – 8 minutes per each
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 before serving.
Sr-frying
1. Choose a ceramic compable flat-based wok or a large frying pan.
2. Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Sr-frying should be quick. If cooking large
quanes, cook the food in several smaller batches.
3. Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
4. Cook any meat first, then put it aside and keep warm.

9
5. Sr-fry the vegetables. When they are hot but sll crisp, turn the cooking zone to a lower seng,
return the meat to the pan and add your sauce.
6. Sr the ingredients gently unl they are heated through. Serve immediately.
Heat Sengs
The sengs below are guidelines only. The exact seng will depend on several factors, including
your cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment with the cooktop to find the sengs
that best suit you.
Heat seng Suitability
1 - 2 •delicate warming for small amounts of food
•melng chocolate, buer, and foods that burn quickly

Care and Cleaning
What?
How?
Important!
Everyday soiling
on glass
(fingerprints,
marks, stains le
by food or
non-sugary
spillovers on the
glass)
1. Switch offthe power to
the cooktop at the wall.
2. Apply a non-abrasive
ceramic cleaner while
the glass is sll warm
(but not hot!), or simply
wipe clean with a so
cloth and lukewarm
water.
3. Rinse and wipe dry with
a so clean cloth or
paper towel.
4. 4. Switch the power to
the cooktop back on.
•When the power to the cooktop
is switched off, there will be no
‘hot surface’ indicaon but the
cooking zone may sll be hot!
Take extreme care.
•Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon
scourers and harsh/abrasive
cleaning agents may scratch the
glass. Always read the label to
check if the cleaner or scourer is
suitable.
•Never leave cleaning residue on
the cooktop: the glass may
become stained.
Boil-overs, melts,
and hot sugary
spills on
the glass
Remove these immediately
with a scraper suitable for
ceramic glass cooktop, being
careful of hot cooking zone
surfaces.
1. Switch offthe power to
the cooktop at the wall.
2. Hold the blade or utensil
at a 30° angle and scrape
the soiling or spill to a
cool area of the cooktop.
3. Clean the soiling or spill
up with a dish cloth or
paper towel.
4. Follow steps 2 to 4 for
‘everyday soiling on
glass’ above.
•Remove stains leby melts and
sugary food or spillovers as soon
as possible. If leto cool on the
glass, they may be difficult to
remove or even damage the glass
surface.
•Cut hazard: The scraper blade is
razor-sharp.
Use with extreme care and always
store safely and out of reach of
children.
Spillovers on the
knob controls
1. Switch offthe power to
the cooktop at the wall.
2. Soak up the spill
3. Wipe around the knob
control area with a clean
damp sponge or cloth.
(Remove the knob if
required).
4. Wipe the area
completely dry with a
socloth or paper
towel.

Trouble Shoong
Problem Possible causes What to do
The cooktop
cannot
be turned on.
No power.
Make sure the cooktop 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
qualified technician.
The glass is being
scratched.
Rough-edged cookware.
Cookware dragged across the
cooktop surface.
Unsuitable, abrasive scourer
or cleaning products being
used.
Use cookware with flat and
smooth bases. See ‘Choosing the
right cookware’ secon.
See ‘Care and cleaning’ secon.
Some pans make
crackling or
clicking noises.
This may be caused by the
construcon of your
cookware
(layers of different metals
vibrang differently once
heated).
This is normal for cookware and
does not indicate a fault.
There is smoke
when the hob is
turned on.
This is normal when the hob
is turned on for the first
me.
Turn the hob off, let it cool and
wipe it down with lukewarm
water and socloth to remove all
manufacturing residues.

Inserng and fixing the hob
Before inserng the hob into the work surface, place the adhesive seal around the underside edge
of the hob. It is important to fix the seal evenly without gaps, to prevent liquids from seeping
underneath the hob.
1. Turn the hob upside down (ensure the surface will not scratch the ceramic glass).
2. Place the gasket around the boom edge of the hob.
3. Screw one end of the fixing brackets into the holes on the underside of the hob.
4. Place the hob into the work surface cutout, so it is sing firmly on the surface.
5. Adjust the posion of the brackets to suit the thickness of the work surface.
6. Screw the hob to the underside of the work surface using the other end of the fixing
brackets already aached to the hob.
Cauons
•The hob must be installed by qualified personnel. Never conduct the operaon by
yourself.
•The hob shall not be mounted to cooling equipment, dishwashers and rotary dryers.
•The wall and induced heang zone above the work surface shall withstand heat.
•To avoid any damage, the benchtop and adhesive must be resistant to heat.
•A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning the product.
