ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Make the most of your hot plate’s residual heat by switching it off a few minutes
before you finish cooking. The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate
completely; a container that is smaller than the hot plate will cause energy to be
wasted.
Cover your pots and pans with tight-fitting lids while cooking and use as little
water as possible. Cooking with the lid off will greatly increase energy
consumption.
Use only flat-bottomed pots and pans.
NOTE
People with a pacemaker or similar medical device should use care when standing
near this induction cooktop while it is on. The electromagnetic field may affect
the pacemaker or similar device. Consult your doctor, or the manufacturer of the
pacemaker or similar medical device for additional information about its effects
with electromagnetic fields of the induction cooktop.

Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up quickly, particularly if you are
using Booster function. At extremely high temperature oil and fat will ignite
spontaneously and this presents a risk of fire.
Cooking Tips
• When food comes to the boil, reduce the power 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
• 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 flavors 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 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.
For stir-frying
1. Choose a 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.
