WARNING INDICATORS AND SAFETY MECHANISMS

Detection of Pan and Small Articles
For induction hob, if display flashes” “alternately with heat setting. · you have not placed a pan on the correct cooking zone or, · the pan you’re using is not suitable for induction cooking or, · the pan is too small or not properly centered on the cooking zone. Notes: 1. No heating takes place unless there is a suitable pan on the cooking zone. 2. The display will auto turn off after 2 minutes if no suitable pan is placed on it. 3. When an unsuitable size or non-magnetic pan (e.g. aluminum), or some other small item (e.g. knife, fork, key) has been left on the hob, the corresponding cooking zone will automatically turn off in 1 minute.

Residual Heat Warning
Beware of hot surfaces When the hob has been operating for a period of time, there will be some residual heat. The letter ” H “appears in power setting indicator to warn you to keep away from it.

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 monitors the temperature inside the hob. When excessive temperature is registered, the hob will auto stop operations.

Over-flow Protection For your safety, the hob will auto shutdown if liquid boils over or a wet cloth touches the control panel. All control buttons became deactivated except ON/OFF and Child Lock button until you wipe the touch control area dry.

Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up quickly, particularly if you are using Booster function. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat can ignite

22

V 1.2

spontaneously and present 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 · 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. 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 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.

23

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 a specialist vitro-ceramic glass cleaner,

which is available for most of supermarkets.

Do not use other abrasive cleaners and/or wire wool etc., as it may scratch the

ceramic glass surface of your hob.

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?
Everyday soiling on glass (fingerprints, marks, stains left by food or non- sugary spillovers on the glass)

How?
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.
4. Switch on the power supply to the hob.

Boil over, melts, and hot sugary spills on the glass

Remove these immediately with a scraper suitable for ceramic glass of hobs, but beware of hot cooking zone surfaces: 1. Switch off the power
supply. 2. Hold the utensil at a 30°
angle and scrape the soiling or spill to a cool area of the hob. 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.

Important!
· When the power supply of 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 cleaning residue on the hob glass surface: the glass may become stained.
· 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.
