Before using your Inducon 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 Inducon hob.
Using the Touch Controls
•The controls respond to touch,so you do not need to apply any pressure.
•Use the ball of your finger, not its p.
•You will hear a beep each me a touch is registered.
•Make sure the controls are always clean,dry, and that there are no objects (e.g. a utensil or a
cloth)covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate.
Choosing the right Cookware
•Only use cookware with a base suitable for inducon cooking. Look
for the inducon symbol on the packaging or on the boom 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
aracted,the pan is suitable for inducon.
•If you do not have a magnet:
oPut some water in the pan you want to check.
oFollow the steps under ‘To start cooking’ on page 7.
oIf does not flash in the display and the water is heang,the pan is suitable.
•Cookware made from the following materials is notsuitable: pure stainless steel,aluminumor
copper without a magnec base,glass,wood,porcelain,ceramic,and earthenware.

6
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. Use pans with a base diameter that is as large as the graphic of the zone selected. By
using a slightly wider pot,energy will be used at its maximum efficiency. If you use a smaller pot,
the efficiency could be less than expected. Pots less than 140 mm could be undetected by the hob.
Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
Always li pans offthe Inducon hob – do not slide,as they may scratch the glass.

Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as oils and fats heat up very quickly, At extremely high
temperatures, oils and fats will ignite spontaneously and present a serious fire risk.
Cooking Tips
•When food comes to boil,reduce the temperature seng.
•Using a lid will reduce cooking mes and save energy by retaining the heat.
•Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking mes.
•Start cooking on a high temperature seng and reduce the seng 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.
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 me will depend on the thickness of
the steak and how cooked you want it. 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 relaxand become
tender before serving.

13
For sr-frying
1. Choose an inducon 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.
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 to make sure they are heated through.
7. 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 inducon hob to find the
sengs that are best suitable for you.

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 the power to the cooktop off.
2. Apply a cooktop cleaner while the
glass is sll warm (but not hot!).
3. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth
or paper towel.
4. Switch the power to the cooktop
back on.
•When the power to the cooktop is switched

Troubleshoong
Problem Possible causes What to do
The inducon hob cannot
be turned on.
No power. Make sure the inducon 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 have checked everything and the
problem persists,call a qualified technician.
The touch controls are
unresponsive.
The controls are locked.
Unlock the controls. See secon
‘Using your inducon cooktop’ for
instrucons.
The touch controls are
difficult to operate.
There may be a slight film of water
over the controls or you may be using
the p of your finger when touching

the controls.
The glass is being
scratched.
Rough-edged cookware.
Unsuitable,abrasive scourer or
cleaning products being used.
Use cookware with flat and smooth bases.
See ‘Choosing the right cookware’.
See ‘Care and cleaning’.
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).
This is normal for cookware and does not
indicate a fault.
The inducon hob makes
alow humming noise
when used on
a high heat seng.
This is caused by the technology
of inducon cooking.
This is normal,but the noise should quieten
