Product Information
The microcomputer ceramic cooker hob can meet different kinds of cuisine demands because of
resistance wire heating, micro-computerized control and multi-power selection, really the optimal
choice for modern families.
The ceramic cooker hob centers on customers and adopts personalized design. The hob has safe and
reliable performances, making your life comfortable and enabling to fully enjoy the pleasure from life.
Working Principle
This ceramic cooker hob directly employs resistance wire heating, and adjust the output power by the
power regulation with the touch controls.
Before Using Your New Ceramic Hob
• Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
• Remove any protective film that may still be on your ceramic hob.

10
• 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 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.
• 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.
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 fire risk.
Cooking Tips
QUICK START GUIDE
Simmering, Cooking Rice
To cook juicy flavorsome 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.
Searing Steak
1. Choose an ceramic 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.
For Stir-frying

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 fibrous 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:
The ceramic cooker hob can be used on the table top of cabinet. The ceramic hob should be placed
horizontally. As shown below:
Under any circumstances, make sure the ceramic cooker hob is well ventilated and the air inlet and
outlet are not blocked. Ensure the ceramic cooker hob is in good work state. As shown below

Make sure the ceramic hob is well ventilated and that air inlet and outlet are not blocked. In order to
avoid accidental touch with the overheating bottom of the hob, or getting unexpectable electric shock
during working, it is necessary to put a wooden insert, fixed by screws, at a minimum distance of
50mm from the bottom of the hob. Follow the requirements below.
Note: The safety distance between the hotplate and the cupboard above the hotplate should be at
least 760mm.
There are ventilation holes around outside of the hob. YOU MUST ensure these holes are not
blocked by the worktop when you put the hob into position.
• Be aware that the glue that join the plastic or wooden material to the furniture, has to resist to
temperature not below 150°C, to avoid the unstuck of the paneling.
• The rear wall, adjacent and surrounding surfaces must therefore be able to withstand an
temperature of 90°C.

1. The ceramic cooker hob must be installed by qualified personnel or technicians. We have
professionals at your service. Please never conduct the operation by yourself.
2. The ceramic cooker hob shall not be mounted to cooling equipment, dishwashers and rotary dryers.
3. The ceramic cooker hob shall be installed such that better heat radiation can be ensured to enhance
its reliability.
4. The wall and induced heating zone above the work surface shall withstand heat.
5. To avoid any damage, the sandwich layer and adhesive must be resistant to heat.
6. A steam cleaner is not to be used.
7. This ceramic can be connected only to a supply with system impedance no more than 0.427 ohm. In
case necessary, please consult your supply authority for system impedance information.
The unit should be placed on a stable, smooth surface (use the packaging). Do not apply force onto the
controls protruding from the hob.
Fix the hob on the work surface by screw four brackets on the bottom of hob (see picture) after
installation. Adjust the bracket position to suit for different work surface’s thickness.
Before Locating The Fixing Brackets
Cautions
Under any circumstances, the brackets cannot touch with the inner surfaces of the worktop after
installation (see picture).

The power supply should be connected in compliance with the relevant standard, or a single-pole
circuit breaker. The method of connection is shown below.
1. If the cable is damaged or needs replacing, this should be done by an after-sales technician using the
proper tools, so as to avoid any accidents.
2. If the appliance is being connected directly to the mains supply, an omnipolar circuit breaker must be
installed with a minimum gap of 3mm between the contacts.
3. The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has been made and that it complies
with safety regulations.
4. The cable must not be bent or compressed.
5. The cable must be checked regularly and only replaced by a properly qualified person.
