and keep this Instruction/Installation Manual for future reference.
Important Instructions
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
USING THE APPLIANCE.
• Proper Installation–Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician.
• Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or Heating the Room.
• Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left alone or
unattended in an area where the appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
• Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be
worn while using the appliance.
• User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician.
• Storage in or on Appliance – Flammable materials should not be stored in
an oven or near surface units.
• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame or use dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• Use Proper Pan Size – This appliance is equipped with one or more surface
units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will
expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in
the ignition of clothing. Proper relationships of utensils to burner will also
improve efficiency.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings – Boilover
causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place – Absence of these
pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath
to damage.

A Word On Induction Cooking
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, 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.

Before Using Your New Induction Cooktop
• Read this guide, taking special note of the “Safety Warnings” section.
• Remove any protective film that may still be on your induction cooktop.
Using The Touch Controls
• The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
• Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
• You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
• Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object
(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 induction cooking. Look for the
induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom 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 attracted, the pan is
suitable for induction cooking.

• If you do not have a magnet:
1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.
2. If does not flash in the display and the water is heating,
the pan is suitable.
• 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.
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 whose diameter is as large as
the graphic of the zone selected. Using a pot a slightly wider energy will be
used at its maximum efficiency. If you use smaller pot efficiency could be less
than expected. Pot less than 51/inch could be undetected by the cooktop.
Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
Always lift pans off the Induction cooktop – do not slide, or they may scratch
the glass.

Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly,
particularly if you’re using power boost. At extremely high temperature
oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire
risk.
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.
• Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has
heated through.
Simmering, cooking rice

bubbles are just rising occasionally to the surface of the cooking liquid. It is
the key to delicious soups and tender stews because the flavor develop
without overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based and flour
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.
Searing steak
To cook juicy flavor some 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 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 relax
and become tender before serving.

For stir-frying
1. Choose an induction compatible flat-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 briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
4. Cook any meat first, 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.
Heat Settings
The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on several
factors, including your cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment
with the induction cooktop to find the settings that best suit you.
