Product Information

This ceramic cooker hob can meet different kinds of cuisine demands because of resistance wire heating, really the optimal choice for modern families.

Working Principle
This ceramic cooker hob directly employs resistance wire heating, and adjust the output power by the power regulation with the mechanical 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.

**Choosing the right Cookware

**

• 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. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
• Always lift pans off the ceramic hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.

Using your Ceramic Hob

To start cooking

1. Place a suitable pan on the cooking zone that you wish to use.
   • Make sure the bottom of the pan and the surface Of the cooking zone are clean and dry.
2. Adjust the power regulating control to the desired level to turn on the control.

Hot hob warning indicator
When the glass plate is hot, the hot hob warning indicator will light. Don’t touch the glass plate until the indicator goes out. It can also be used as an energy saving function if you want to heat further pans, use the hotplate that is still hot.

When you have finished cooking
Turn the cooking zone off by turning the power regulating control to “OFF“ to turn off the control.

Cooking Guidelines

WARNING;
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

• When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting.
• Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
• Minimise 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 the flavours develop without overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based and flourthickened 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 flavoursome 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 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.

Care and Cleaning

Everyday soiling on glass (fingerprints, marks, stains left by food or non- sugary spillovers on the glass)| 1.  Switch the power to the cooktop off.

2.  Apply a cooktop cleaner while the glass is still warm (but not hot!)

3.  Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.

4.  Switch the power to the cooktop back on.

| •  When the power to the cooktop is switched off, there will be no ‘hot surface’ indication but the cooking zone may still be hot! Take extreme care.

•  Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon

scourers and harsh/abrasive cleaning agents may scratch the glass. Always read the label to check if your cleaner or scourer is suitable.

•  Never leave cleaning residue on the

cooktop: the glass may become stained.

Boilovers, melts, and hot sugary spills on the glass| Remove these immediately with a fish slice, palette knife or razor blade scraper suitable for ceramic glass cooktops, but beware of hot cooking zone surfaces:

1.Switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall.

2.Hold the blade or utensil at a 30° angle and scrape the soiling or spill to a cool area of the cooktop.

3.Clean the soiling or spill up with a dish cloth or paper towel.

4.Follow steps 2 to 4 for ‘Everyday soiling on glass’ above.

| •  Remove stains left by melts and sugary food or spillovers as soon as possible. If left to cool on the glass, they may be difficult to remove or even permanently damage the glass surface.

•  Cut hazard: when the safety cover is

retracted, the blade in a scraper is razor-sharp. Use with extreme care and always store safely and out of reach of children.
