• The wall and induced heating zone above the work surface shall withstand heat.
• To avoid any damage, the sandwich layer and adhesive must be resistant to heat.
• A steam cleaner is not to be used.

Before Locating the Fixing Brackets

The unit should be placed on a stable, smooth surface (use the packaging). Do not apply force onto the hob.
Fix the hob into the work surface by screwing four 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).

Connecting the Hob to the Mains Power Supply

This hob must be connected to the mains power supply only by a suitably qualified person.
Before connecting the hob to the mains power supply, check that:

• Check with an electrician whether the domestic wiring system is suitable without alterations. Any alterations must only be made by a qualified electrician.
• The voltage corresponds to the value given in the rating plate
• The power supply cable sections can withstand the load specified on the rating plate. To connect the hob to the mains power supply, do not use adapters, reducers, or branching devices, as they can cause overheating and fire.
• The power supply cable must not touch any hot parts and must be positioned so that its temperature will not exceed 75˚C at any point.
• If the cable is damaged or to be replaced, the operation must be carried out by after-sales agent with dedicated tools to avoid any accidents.
• The appliance should be plugged directly in to a standard 13Amp socket outlet. An omni-polar circuit-breaker must be installed with a minimum opening of 3mm between contacts.
• A separate isolating switch should be accessible in case the appliance requires turning off before any work or maintenance is carried out on the hob.
• The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has been made and that it is compliant with safety regulations.
• The cable must not be bent or compressed.
• The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians.

The bottom surface and the power cord of the hob are not accessible after installation.

Working Principle

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.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

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.
• If the ferromagnetic part covers only partially the base of the pan, only the ferromagnetic area will heat up, the rest of the base may not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.
• If the ferromagnetic area is not homogeneous, but presents others material such as aluminum this may affect the heating up and the pan detection.
• If the base of the pan is similar to the pictures below the pan may not detected.
• 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. 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 usesmaller pot efficiency could be less than expected.Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
• Always lift pans off the Induction hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.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 of 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.

When the pot is removed, the induction hob will stop heating immediately and the hob will automatically switch off after 2 minutes.

People with a heart pace maker should consult with their doctor before using this unit.

QUICK START GUIDE

Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using Power Boost. 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 a 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 will automatically go on to standby in 1 minute. The fan will keep cooling down the induction hob for a further 1 minute.
