Touch controls

  • The buttons react to touch, so there is no need to apply any pressure.
  • Use the base of your finger, not the tip. Fig. 12
  • You will hear a beep every time the hob detects a finger.
  • Make sure the buttons are always clean and dry and that no objects (for example, a utensil or a cloth) are covering them. Even a thin film of water can make it difficult to operate the buttons.

Selecting suitable cookware

  • Use only cookware with a suitable base for induction hobs.
  • Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the cookware.
  • You can check if your cookware is suitable with a magnet test. Move a magnet towards the cookware base. If the cookware attracts it, this means that it is suitable for the induction hob. If you do not have a magnet:
  1. Pour some water in the cookware you wish to check and place it on one of the cooking areas.
  2. If does not appear on the display flashing and water heats up, the cookware is suitable.

Cookware made of the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper without magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.cecotec-Bolero-Squad-3001-Induction-Hob-fig-

Advice for cooking

  • Be careful when frying, as oil and grease heat up very quickly. With extremely high temperatures, oil and grease can ignite spontaneously, causing a serious fire hazard.
  • When food starts boiling, reduce the power.
  • Using a lid will reduce the cooking time and save energy due to heat retention.
  • Reduce the amount of liquid or grease to shorten cooking times.
  • Start cooking with a high-power setting and reduce it as food heats up.

Simmering and cooking rice

  • Simmering occurs below the boiling point, at about 85ºC, when some bubbles rise to the surface of the cooking liquid. It is essential for preparing delicious soups and tender stews because it enhances the flavours without overcooking the food. Egg-based and flourthickened sauces should also be cooked below boiling point.
  • Some recipes, like cooking rice using the absorption method, may require a setting higher than the lowest setting to ensure that the food is cooked properly in the recommended time.

Pork chops

For juicy and tasty results:

  1. Leave the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking it.
  2. Preheat a heavy-based cookware.
  3. Brush both sides of the meat with oil. Spray a small amount of oil in the hot cookware and place the meat.
  4. Turn the meat only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the meat’s thickness and your liking. Times may vary from 2 to 8 minutes per side. Press the meat to measure the cooking degree; the firmer it is, the more cooked it is.
  5. Let the meat stand on a hot dish for some minutes so it softens before serving it.

Stir-frying

  1. Choose a flat-bottomed cookware that is compatible with the induction hob.
  2. Have all ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying is fast. If you cook large amounts, cook food in several smaller batches.
  3. Preheat the cookware briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
  4. Cook the meat first, set it aside and keep it warm.
  5. Stir-fry vegetables. When vegetables are hot but still crunchy, choose a lower power for the cooking area, place the meat in the cookware again, and add any sauce.
  6. Stir ingredients carefully.
  7. Serve them immediately.

Detection of small items
If you place on the hob cookware of an inadequate size or non-magnetic cookware (for example, made of aluminum) or any other small item (for example, a knife, fork, or key), the induction hob will automatically enter the standby mode after 1 minute. The fan will operate at low power in the induction hob for another minute.
