Touch Controls
The touch controls for your induction have been designed to provide you with nger tip control of your
hob, providing accurate and repeatable power settings for cooking and an easy clean surface that can
be easily wiped over.
When a cook zone is activated the power setting is displayed for each zone individually.
Each cooking zone has its own individual slider control
Using the Touch Controls
The cook zone and timer displays function as the touch controls, To select a cook zone or the timer,
simply touch the display area, use the at of your nger, not the tip, The controls respond to touch, so
you don’t need to apply any pressure.
Once you have selected the cook zone or the timer, you have 10 seconds to set it (while the red LED
at the bottom right of the display is on). If the red LED goes out before you have made and adjustment,
simply re-select the cook zone or timer by touching the display again.
Caution: Always ensure that induction pans remain within the marked cooking area when hot. Do not
allow hob pans to rest on the user control panel at the front of the hob glass, as this will cause the
controls to overheat and the appliance to temporarily shut down.

• Always ensure that pan bases are dry before using them on the hob.
• Not all induction pans are of the same quality due to their construction. Pans that use enamelled/
laminated/ encapsulated bases can be difcult to detect, especially small pans.
• The safety temperature control of the pans is only possible with quality at bottomed pans suitable
for induction cooking; Poor quality pans can create air gaps between the glass and the pan, which
affects the accuracy of the temperature control.
Overheat pan protection
The hob is equipped with additional safety systems that help to prevent cookware from overheating,
providing an additional level of safety not available on conventional hobs such as gas and ceramic hobs
