CHOOSE 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 cooktop.

• If you do not have a magnet:

  • Put some water in the pan you want to check.
  • If does not flash in the display and water is heating, the pan is suitable.
  • Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable for an induction cooktop: pure stainless steel, aluminum or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.

• Induction cooktop are made from smooth ceramic glass, the heat comes from a magnetic induction coil which heats the cookware but not the cooking surface. The heat from the cookware is transferred to the food.

• It’s important that you use only metal pans specifically designed and/or approved for use on induction cooktop. Never allow melamine or plastic containers to come in contact with the heat zones.

• A pan which diameter less than 140mm may not be detected by the induction cooktop. 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. If you use a smaller pot, the efficiency could be less than expected. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.

Always lift the pans off the cooktop – do not slide, otherwise they may scratch the glass.

Residual Heat Warning

Beware of hot surfaces

When the cooktop has been operating for some time, there will be some residual heat. The letter “ H ”appears in cooking level indicator to warn you to keep away from it.
It can also be used as an energy saving function:
If you want to heat up your pans, you may use the cooking zone when it is still hot.

Auto Shutdown

Another safety feature of the cooktop is auto shutdown feature. This is useful when you forget to switch off the cooktop after cooking. The default shutdown times as below table:

Over-heat Protection

A temperature sensor equipped can monitor the temperature inside the cooktop. When an excessive temperature is monitored, the cooktop will auto stop operation

Over-flow Protection
For your safety, the induction cooktop will shut off the power automatically if boiling liquid spilled over or wet cloth touching the control panel. All control buttons became invalid except ON/OFF and Child Lock button. Keep the control panel dry to resume operation.

Cooking Guidelines
Be careful when frying as the oil and fat heat up quickly, particularly if you are using the Booster function. At extremely high temperature, oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a risk of fire.

Cooking Tips

• Lower the power setting when food comes to boil.
• 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 flavors 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. Bring the meat to room temperature 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 put the meat onto the hot pan.
4. Flip the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the steak and how you would like the steak to be cooked. Cooking time may vary from about 2-8 minutes per side.
5. Rest the steak on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow everything to relax and redistribute the juice, which creates a more tender, juicer cut.

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

Important: Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from ELECTRICITY supply and ensure the
appliances is completely cool. Cleaning the cooktop Surface Clean spillages from the cooktop surface as soon as possible after use. Always 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 ect., as it may scratch the ceramic glass surface of your cooktop.
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

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

Troubleshooting

If you find something goes wrong for your cooktop, before contact the service or where you purchased it, please check whether below:

1. There is no power to the appliance:
   • Check whether there is a power cut of your department;
   • Check whether the appliance be connected to electricity properly;
   • Has the timer setting elapsed;
   • Whether it reaches the longest cooking time setting and auto shut off;
   • Whether there is liquid boiling over touch control panel and overflow protection devices auto shut off;
2. The touch control panel buttons can’t be active:
   • Whether it’s under “Child Lock”, which there is “Lo” shows in timer displayer;
   • Whether liquid/wet cloth over touch control panel active overflow protection;
3. After cooking there is “H” shows on display:
   • This is normal. The cooktop is with Residual Heat Warning safety features. It will remain on until the surface is cool enough for touch.
4. After turn off, the fan of induction cooktop remains working for a while:
   • This is normal, this is to help appliances completely cool down.
5. Some pans make crackling or clicking noises during use of induction cooktop:
   • This is normal, it’s the sound of induction coils during working, and for different construction of your cookware, the clicking might be slightly different.
6. The glass is being scratched:
   • Check whether you use unsuitable cookware, like rough-edged cookware.
   • Check whether unsuitable, abrasive scourer or cleaning products being used.

Technical Specifications

Weight and Dimensions are approximate. Because we continually strive to improve our products we may change specifications and designs without prior notice.

If an abnormality comes up, the induction cooktop will enter the protective state automatically and display corresponding protective codes:

Power on after the power supply is normal.
E3| High temperature of the pansensor| Check whether no liquid in pan,fill with liquid then restart.
E5| High temperature of the IGBTtemperature sensor| Please restart after theinduction cooktop cools down.
|

1. If a pan is too small for the induction zone, it can still be used. However, if the pan is a lot smaller than the zone, you may find that the induction cooktop won’t activate when the pan is placed in the zone. This is simply because the pan is too small to register on the magnets.
2. Wrong pot size used by the customer.
3. Pot not appropriate for induction cooktops.

|

1.  The cooking zones will not switch on if pots are not the right size. Only use pots bearing the symbol **“INDUCTION SYSTEM”

**

2.  Use a magnet to check if the bottom of the pot is suitable for the induction cooktop: bottom of the pots and pans are unsuitable if not magnetically detectable.

For all other error codes, switch off and call Customer Service.
