Residual Heat Warning
Beware of hot surfaces
When the hob has been operating for some time, there will be some residual heat. The letter “ H ”appears in power setting indicator to warn you to keep away from it.
It can also be used as an energy saving function: if you want to heat the pan further, use the zone that is still hot. Auto Shutdown
Another safety feature of the hob is auto shutdown. This occurs whenever you forget to switch off a cooking zone. The default shutdown times as below table:

Power level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Default working timer (hour) 8 8 8 4 4 4 2 2 2

Over-heat Protection
A temperature sensor equipped can monitor the temperature inside the hob. Whenever an excessive temperature is monitored, the hob will auto stop operation.
Over-flow Protection
For your safety, the programme will auto shut off the power if boiling liquid or wet cloth over touch control panel. All control buttons became invalid except ON/OFF and Child Lock button, unless you wipe the touch control area dry.
Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up quickly, especially if you are using Booster function. At extremely high temperature oil and fat will cause to ignite spontaneously and this presents a risk of fire.
Cooking Tips

  • When food boils, 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 time.
  • 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. It is the indicator to delicious soups and tender stews because flavour 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 higher setting than the lowest setting to ensure the food is cooked properly within the recommended time.

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 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 thoroughly.
  7. Serve immediately.

Heat Settings
The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on factors including your cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment with the hob to find the settings that best suit you.

Part 4. Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning and Maintenance
Important: Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from ELECTRICITY supply and ensure the appliances is completely cool.
Cleaning the Hob Surface
Clean spillages from the hob surface as soon as possible after use. Always ensure the surface is cool enough before cleaning.
Use a soft cloth or kitchen paper to clean the surface. If the spillage has dried on the surface, you may need to use specialist vitro-ceramic glass cleaner, which is available at most of the supermarkets.
Do not use other abrasive cleaners and/or wire wool ect., as it may scratch the ceramic glass surface.
Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic
Special care should be taken when removing hot substances to avoid permanent damage of the glass surface.
Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface of your cooktop (not covered by the warranty) unless the spill is removed while still hot. Special care should be taken when removing hot substances.
Hints and Tips

What? How? Important!

Everyday soiling on glass (fingerprints, marks, stains left by food or non- sugary spillovers on the glass)| 1. Switch off the power supply.
2. Apply a vitro-ceramic glass cleaner while  the glass is still warm (but not hot!)
3. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.| • When the hob is turned 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 residue on the hob glass surface: the glass may become stained.
