A Word on 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.

magnetic circuit ceramic glass plate induction coil induced currents

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 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.

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 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 use smaller 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.

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 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.

The base diameter of induction cookware

The above may vary according to the quality of the pan used.

Using your Induction Hob

To start cooking

1. Touch the ON/OFF control.
   After power on, the buzzer beeps once, all displays show “ – “ or “ – – “, indicating that the induction hob has entered the state of standby mode.

2. Place a suitable pan on the cooking zone that you wish to use.
   • Make sure the bottom of the pan and the surface of the cooking zone are clean and dry.

3. Set a power level by touching the slider, or slide along the “—”control, or just touch any point of the “—”.a. If you don’t set the power within 1 minute, the induction hob will automatically switch off. You will need to start again at step 1.
   b. You can modify the heat setting at any time during cooking.
   c. If slide along the “—”, power will vary from stage 1 to stage 9.

If the display flashes alternately with the heat setting

This means that:

• 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 centred on the cooking zone.

No heating takes place unless there is a suitable pan on the cooking zone.
The display will automatically turn off after 1minutes if no suitable pan is placed on it.

When you have finished cooking

1. Turn the cooking zone off by slide along the “—” to the left point, and then hold for 1 second.
2. Make sure the power display shows “0”, then shows “H”.
3. Turn the whole cooktop off by touching the ON/OFF control.
4. Beware of hot surfaces

‘H’ will show which cooking zone is hot to touch. It will disappear when the surface has cooled down to a safe temperature. It can also be used as an energy saving function if you want to heat further pans, use the hotplate that is still hot.

In case of a power interruption while “H” is on, please pay attention to not touch the cooking surface even if “H” is no longer shown when the power is back.

Using the Power Management

Using power management you can set the total power to 2.5kW/ 3.0kW/ 4.5kW/ 6.5kW and 7.4kW. The default total power setting is the maximum power level.

Setting the total power level to fit your requirement

1. Make sure the cooktop is turned off.
   Note: you can only set power management when the cooktop is turned off.

2. Touch the button “Pause function” and hold for 5 seconds. You can hear the buzzer beeps one time.

3. After you hear the beep, touch “+” and “-” button at the same time and hold for 3 second, the timer indicator will show flashing previous total power level, e.g. ‘2.5’. Touch and hold ” +” and ”-” for 1 second again to switch to other power level, for example 3.0. When the power that you want is flashing, touch the button “Pause function” and hold for 5 seconds. The buzzer will beep 10 times. It means you have finished the setting.

Note:

1. After step 2, you must touch the “+” and “-” within 3 seconds after you hear the beep. Otherwise you will need to start again from step 2.
2. Once finish setting, wait till the end of 10 beeps. Do not touch any button during this period. Otherwise the setting will be invalid.

Power management Rules
If total power exceeds the limitation of 2.5kw, 3.0kw, 4.5kw, 6.5kw,7.4kw, (depending on which level you’ve set), you are not able to increase power stage of any zone.
If you increase it, the cooktop will beep 3 times and indicator will show a flashing ‘Pn’. Thus you need to decrease power stage of other zones before increasing the power of objective zone.

Power Limitation in centre and right zones

• Cooking zones are divided into two groups. Each group has a maximum electricity loading of 3600 W.
• The limitation decreases the power to the other cooking zones.
• The heat setting display of the reduced zones changes between two levels.
  e. g. if all zones are on, the biggest power level of three zones are decrease to 7-level, 7-level, 7-level.

In Group a both two zones can work at level 9 at the same time because they are 3500 W in total.
In Group b if 3 zones are working, the max power level which each zone can reach is 7. If the rear zone of the Group b is turned off, the other two zones can reach at maximum power level 8.
If you want one of the zone of Group b works at the highest power level, only 2 zones should be tuned on. The hob automatically reduces the power of the first zone you turned on.

Using the Boost

Boost is the function that one zone rising to a larger power in one second and lasting for 5 minutes. Thus you can get a more powerful and faster cooking.

Using the Boost to get larger power

1. Touch the control panel button that you wish to boost, then hold the “b” for 3 second. The power display will show “P” to indicate that the zone is boosting.
2. The Boost power will last for 5 minutes and then the zone will go back to the “9” power stage.
3. If you want to cancel the Boost during this 5 minutes, touch the “B” button for twice. The heating zone will go back to “9” power stage. Or slide along the “—” to the left point, the heating zone will go back to the power stage in which you touched.

Restrictions when using
The five zones were divided into two groups. In one group, if use boost on one zone, first make sure that the other zone is working on/below power level 5.
In Group b, if one zone is working at boost mode, at the same time there is only one other zone can work.

Using the Keep warm

Keep warm is the function that one zone keep a lower power to make the temperature stable.

Using the Keep warm to get stable temperature

1. Touch the slider of the heating zone that you wish to keep warm, then touch the keep warm button , the cooking zone indicator will display “A”.

Suggestions for Energy Saving:

• To obtain the best efficiency of your hob, please place the pan in the centre of the cooking zone.
• Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
• Minimise 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.
• Use pans whose diameter is as large as the graphic of the zone selected.
