Working Theory
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.

Operation of Product
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, and 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

Touching the heating zone selection control, and an indicator next to the key will flash

• Select a heat setting by touching the”-” or”+” control.
• If you don’t choose a heat setting within 1 minute, the Induction hob will automatically switch off. You will need to start again at step 1.
• You can modify the heat setting at any time during cooking.

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 centered on the cooking zone.
• No heating takes place unless there is a suitable pan in the cooking zone.

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

Cooking Tips

• When food comes to a 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 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. 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 ontothe 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.
5. 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.
6. 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 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. Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using
7. PowerBoost. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.

WARNING
Ensuring Adequate Ventilation Make sure the induction cooker hob is well- ventilated and that the air inlet and outlet are not blocked. In order to avoid accidental touch with the overheating bottom of the hob, or getting an unexpected electric shock during working, it is necessary to put a wooden insert, fixed by screws, at a minimum distance of 50mm from the bottom of the hob. Follow the requirements below. There are ventilation holes around the outside of the hob. YOU MUST ensure these holes are not blocked by the worktop when you put the hob into position.

• Be aware that the glue that joins the plastic or wooden material to the furniture, has to resist to temperature not below 150 C, to avoid the unstuck of the paneling.
• The rear wall, adjacent, and surrounding surfaces must therefore be able to withstand a temperature of 90 C.

Before installing the hob, make sure that

The work surface is square and level, and no structural members interfere with space requirements.

• The work surface is made of a heat-resistant and insulated material.
• If the hob is installed above an oven, the oven has a built-in cooling fan.
• The installation will comply with all clearance requirements and applicable standards and regulations.
• A suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power supply is incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted, and positioned to comply with the local wiring rules and regulations.
• The isolating switch must be of an approved type and provide a 3 mm air gap contact separation in all poles (or in all active [phase] conductors if the local wiring rules allow for this variation of the requirements).
• The isolating switch will be easily accessible to the customer with the hob installed.
• You consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding installation.
• You use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the wall surfaces surrounding the hob.

After installing the hob, make sure that

• The power supply cable is not accessible through cupboard doors or drawers.
• There is an adequate flow of fresh air from outside the cabinetry to the base of the hob.
• If the hob is installed above a drawer or cupboard space, a thermal protection barrier is installed below the base of the hob.
• The isolating switch is easily accessible by the customer.

Before locating the fixing brackets
The unit should be placed on a stable, smooth surface (use the packaging). Do not apply force onto the controls protruding from the hob.

Adjusting the bracket position
Fix the hob on the work surface by screwing 2 brackets on the bottom of the hob(see picture) after installation. Adjust the bracket position to suit different tabletop thicknesses.

Under any circumstances, the brackets cannot touch the inner surfaces of the worktop after installation (see picture).
