PART 4. COOKING GUIDELINES

Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using PowerBoost. At

extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious re risk.

4.1 Cooking Tips

• Whenfoodcomestotheboil,reducethetemperature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.

4.1.1 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 avours

develop without overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based and our thickened sauces below

boiling point.

• Sometasks,includingcookingricebytheabsorptionmethod,mayrequireasettinghigherthanthelowest

setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time recommended.

4.1.2 Searing steak

To cook juicy avorsome 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 time 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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.

4.1.3 For stir-frying

1. Choose an 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, 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 the pan and add your sauce.

6. Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.

7. Serve immediately.

PART 5. HEAT SETTINGS

PART 7. HINTS AND TIPS

Problem Possible causes What to do

The ceramic hob

cannot be turned on.

No power. Make sure the ceramic 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 cooktop’for instructions.

The touch controls are

dicult to operate.

There may be a slight lm of water

over the controls or you may be using

the tip of your nger when touching

the controls.

Make sure the touch control area is dry

and use the ball of your nger when

touching the controls.

The glass is being

scratched.

Rough-edged cookware.

Unsuitable, abrasive scourer or

cleaning products being used.

Use cookware with at 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

construction of your cookware

(layers of dierent metals vibrating

dierently).

This is normal for cookware and does

not indicate a fault.

PART 8. INSTALLATION

8.1 Selection of installation equipment

1. Cut out the work surface according to the sizes shown in the drawing.

For the purpose of installation and use, a minimum of 50mm space shall be preserved around the hole.

Be sure the thickness of the work surface is at least 30mm. Please select heat-resistant and insulated work

surface material (Wood and similar brous or hygroscopic material shall not be used as work surface

material unless impregnated) to avoid the electrical shock and larger deformation caused by the heat

radiation from the hotplate. As shown below:

Note: The safety distance between the sides of the hob and the inner surfaces of the worktop should

be at least 3mm.
