 Working Theory

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.

• iron pot
• magnetic circuit
• ceramic glass plate
• induction coil
• induced currents

Before using your New Induction Hob

•  Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
•  Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction hob.

 Technical Specification

Weight and Dimensions are approximate. Because we continually strive to improve our products we may change specifications and designs without prior notice.

 Operation of Product

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.
• 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 140 mm could be undetected by the hob. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
Always lift pans off the Induction hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.

Default working times
Auto shut down is a safety protection function for your induction hob. It shut down automatically if ever you forget to turn off your cooking. The default working times for various power levels are shown in the below table:

• When the pot is removed, the induction hob can stop heating immediately and the hob automatically switch off after 2 minutes.
• People with a heart pace maker should consult with their doctor before using this unit.

 Cooking Guidelines

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.
• 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 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.

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 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.

Detection of Small Articles

When an unsuitable size or non-magnetic pan (e.g. aluminium), or some other small item (e.g. knife, fork, key) has been left on the hob, the hob automatically go on to standby in 1 minute. The fan will keep cooking down the induction hob for a further 1 minute.

 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 hob to find the settings that best suit you.

• delicate warming for small amounts of food

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 Induction 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.

Follow the requirements below.

• 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℃, to avoid the unstuck of the paneling.
•  The rear wall, adjacent and surrounding surfaces must therefore be able to withstand an temperature of 90℃.

Before installing the hob, make sure that

•  The work surface is square and level, and no structural members interfere with space requirements.
•  The work surface is made of a heat-resistant and insulated material.
•  If the hob is installed above an oven, the oven has a built-in cooling fan.
•  The installation will comply with all clearance requirements and applicable standards and regulations.
•  A suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power supply is incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and positioned to comply with the local wiring rules and regulations.
•  The isolating switch must be of an approved type and provide a 3 mm air gap contact separation in all poles (or in all active [phase] conductors if the local wiring rules allow for this variation of the requirements).
•  The isolating switch will be easily accessible to the customer with the hob installed.
•  You consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding installation.
•  You use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the wall surfaces surrounding the hob.

After installing the hob, make sure that

•  The power supply cable is not accessible through cupboard doors or drawers.
•  There is adequate flow of fresh air from outside the cabinetry to the base of the hob.
•  If the hob is installed above a drawer or cupboard space, a thermal protection barrier is installed below the base of the hob.
•  The isolating switch is easily accessible by the customer.

Before locating the fixing brackets
The unit should be placed on a stable, smooth surface (use the packaging). Do not apply force onto the controls protruding from the hob.

Adjusting the bracket position
Fix the hob on the work surface by screw 2 brackets on the bottom of hob(see picture) after installation. Adjust the bracket position to suit for different table top thickness.

• Under any circumstances, the brackets cannot touch with the inner surfaces of the worktop after installation (see picture).
