  When the hob has been operating for some time, there will be some residual heat. The letter “ H ”appears to warn you to keep away from it.

• Default working times
  Another safety feature of the hob is automatic shutdown. This occurs whenever you forget to switch off a cooking zone. The default shutdown times are shown in the table below:

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 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.
• tart 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 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 ceramic 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.

HEAT SETTINGS

The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on several factors, including your cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment with the Ceramic hob to find the settings that best suit you.

• delicate warming for small amounts of food
• melting chocolate, butter, and foods that burn quickly

CARE AND CLEANING

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

1. Switch the power to the cooktop off.
2. Apply a cooktop cleaner while the glass is still warm (but not hot!)
3. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
4. Switch the power to the cooktop back on.

|

• When the power to the cooktop is switched off, there will be no ‘hot surface’ indication but the cooking zone may still be hot! Take extreme care.
• Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon scourers and harsh/abrasive cleaning agents may scratch the glass. Always read the label to check if your cleaner or scourer is suitable.
• Never leave cleaning residue on the cooktop: the glass may become stained.

Boil overs, melts, and hot sugary spills on the glass| Remove these immediately with a fish slice, palette knife or razor blade scraper suitable for Ceramic glass cooktops, but beware of hot cooking zone surfaces:

1. Switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall.
2. Hold the blade or utensil at a 30° angle and scrape the soiling or spill to a cool area of the cooktop.
3. Clean the soiling or spill up with a dish cloth or paper towel.
4. Follow steps 2 to 4 for ‘Everyday soiling on glass’ above.

| •   Remove stains left by melts and sugary food or spill overs as soon as possible. If left to cool on the glass, they may be difficult to remove or even permanently damage the glass surface.

•   Cut hazard: when the safety cover is retracted, the blade in a scraper is razor- sharp. Use with extreme care and always store safely and out of reach of children.

Spill overs on the touch controls|

1. Switch the power to the cooktop off.
2. Soak up the spill
3. Wipe the touch control area with a clean damp sponge or cloth.
4. Wipe the area completely dry with a paper towel.
5. Switch the power to the cooktop back on.

|

• The cooktop may beep and turn itself off, and the touch controls may not function while there is liquid on them. Make sure you wipe the touch control area dry before turning the cooktop back on.

INSTALLATION

Selection of installation equipment

1. Cut out the work surface according to the sizes shown in the drawing.
   For the purpose of installation and use, a minimum of 50mm space should be preserved around the hole. Be sure the thickness of the work surface is at least 30mm. Please select heat-resistant and insulated work surface material (Wood and similar fibrous or hygroscopic material shall not be used as work surface material unless impregnated) to avoid the electrical shock and larger deformation caused by the heat radiation from the hotplate. As shown below:
   NOTE
   The safety distance between the sides of the hob and the inner surfaces of the worktop should be at least 3mm.

• The ceramic cooker hob can be used on the table top of cabinet. The ceramic hob should be placed horizontally. As shown below:

• Make sure the ceramic cooker hob is well ventilated and the air inlet and outlet are not blocked under any circumstances. Ensure the ceramic cooker hob is in good work state. As shown below
• NOTE The safety distance between the hotplate and the cupboard above the hotplate should be at least 760mm.

• WARNING!
  Ensuring Adequate Ventilation

• Make sure the ceramic hob is well ventilated and that air inlet and outlet are not blocked. In order to avoid accidental touch with the overheating bottom of the hob, or getting 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 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 150ºC, to avoid the deforming.

• The rear wall, adjacent and surrounding surfaces must therefore be able to withstand a temperature of 90ºC.
