INDUCTION COOKING
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.

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.

USING THE 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 cook on 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 that have a diameter as large as the graphic of the zone selected.

Using a pan slightly wider, will mean energy is used at its maximum efficiency. If you use smaller pan efficiency could be less than expected. A pan less than the minimum dimensions detailed
below could be undetected by the hob.

Always lift  pans off the induction hob – do not slide them or they may scratch the glass.

PAN DIMENSIONS
The cooking zones are, up to a limit, automatically adapted to the diameter of the pan. However the bottom of this pan must have a minimum diameter according to the corresponding cooking zone. To obtain the best efficiency of your hob, please place the pan in the centre of the cooking zone.

COOKING ZONE| MIN. PAN DIAMETER (MM)| MAX. PAN DIAMETER (MM)
---|---|---
1 & 3| 120| 140
2 & 4| 160| 220

COOKING GUIDELINES

Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using the Boost function. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.

• 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

• 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 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.

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 small items (e.g. knife, fork, key) has been left on the hob, the hob will 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.

Melting chocolate, butter, and foods that burn quickly. Gentle simmering.
Slow warming.
3 – 4| Reheating.
Rapid simmering.
Cooking rice.
5 – 6| Pancakes.
7 – 8| Sautéing.
Cooking pasta.
9| Stir-frying. Searing.

INSTALLATION

Cut out the work surface according to the sizes shown in the drawing. For the purpose of installation and use, a minimum of 5cm space shall be preserved around the hole. If installing with fixing clips, a work surface of at least 30mm should be used. Due to the limits of the fixing clips, If the work surface is less than 30mm, add a small strip of heat resistant material to the underside of the surface. This will increase the surface depth for the clips to attach to. Please select heatresistant work surface material to avoid larger deformation caused by the heat radiation from the hotplate. As shown below:

L (MM)| W (MM)| H (MM)| D (MM)| A (MM)| B (MM)| X (MM)
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
590| 520| 57| 53| 564| 494| 50 min

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
To ensure adequate ventilation of your induction hob, please ensure the installation requirements shown in this diagram are followed. A 5mm gap at the front of the unit must be left, and a minimum 10mm gap must be cut out at the back of the cabinet to allow air to circulate. A minimum distance of 50mm must be left between the underside of the hob and the appliance directly below. If a drawer is installed below the hob, a minimum distance of 50mm must be left between the underside of the hob, and the contents of the drawer.

Over filling the drawer may effect the airflow. If the drawer is overfilled or the ventilation requirements not followed, this will void the guarantee.

NOTE:
The safety distance between the hotplate and cupboard above the hotplate should be at least 600mm.
