Important Installation Advice
Kitchen and Benchtop Requirements
• Kitchen area: Before installation, make sure the kitchen area is dry and there
is sufficient ventilation and easy access to all control elements.
• Benchtop: The benchtop surface must be level, and no structural members
must interfere with space requirements.
• Curtains: Do not install the cooktop next to curtains, soft furnishings or
other flammable materials.
• Adjacent furniture: Make sure that the benchtop and any adjacent
furniture or walls, and all installation materials, are able to withstand high
heat. Certain types of vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture are particularly
prone to heat damage or discolouration at high temperatures. It is your
responsibility to ensure that your cabinetry and installation materials
are able to withstand high heat.
• Adjacent wall and cabinetry finishes: We recommend you use heat-
resistant and easy-to-clean nishes (such as ceramic tiles) for any wall
surfaces surrounding the cooktop.
• Ventilation: Heat, steam and moisture will be created during use of the
cooktop. Take care to avoid injury and ensure that the room is adequately
ventilated. If the appliance is going to be used for prolonged periods
of time, additional ventilation may be required. If in doubt about your
ventilation requirements, consult your qualified installer.

Getting Started
Before First Use
When your new Induction Cooktop has been professionally installed, follow a
few simple steps to prepare it for your rst use.
• Most importantly, read this manual thoroughly to familiarise yourself with
the appliance. Pay particular attention to the safety instructions on pages
5–7. Refer to pages 8–9 for a picture and list of the controls.
• Remove any protective lm that may still cover parts of the cooktop.
• Wipe the cooktop surface with a damp cloth or sponge to remove any
dust that has accumulated during transport and storage. Dry thoroughly.
• To help eliminate any ‘new’ smell that exists and evaporate any humidity
that may have formed on the heating elements during transit, switch
on one cooking zone at a time and let it heat up for 5 minutes at the
maximum setting. Place a saucepan lled half full with cold water on each
zone as you burn it off. Do not burn off more than one zone at a time.
Any odour or smoke can be disregarded safely; ensure good ventilation.
• Operation instructions start on page 22.
NOTE: The rst few times the Induction Cooktop is used, it may give off
an acrid, burning smell. This is no cause for concern. The smell will
disappear completely with repeated use. Ensure good ventilation.
Introduction to Induction Cooking
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efcient and economical cooking
technology. It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly
in the pan, rather than indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass
becomes hot only because the pan eventually warms it up.

Suitable Cookware
Is your cookware suitable?
• To check whether your cookware is suitable, move a magnet towards the
base of the pan (Fig. 9). If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction.
• If you do not have a magnet, put some water in the pan you want to
check, place it on a cooking zone and turn it on (see page 22). If [ ]does
not ash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable. If the
symbol is ashing, the cookware is unsuitable; do not use it.
• Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure
stainless steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic base, glass,
wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.
• Once you know which of your pots and pans can be used on the Induction
Cooktop, check them and ensure that the bases of the pots and pans are
in good condition. This will ensure efcient heat transfer, save you energy
and cooking time and help you keep the cooktop in optimum condition.
• Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base (Fig. 10).
IMPORTANT!
Induction cooktop compatible cookware must have a base made
of material that attracts a magnet. Only use cookware with a base
suitable for induction cooking. Look for the induction symbol on
the packaging or on the bottom of the pan.
