Before using your New Ceramic Hob

• When unpacking the cooktop please ensure that all contents of the carton are removed prior to disposing of the packaging. These articles should be retained for the installer.

Contents include:

• * 1 x Ceramic Cooktop

  • 1 x User Manual
  • 4 x Brackets
  • 4 x Screws
• Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
• Remove any protective film that may still be on your ceramic cooktop.

Using the Touch Control

• 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
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. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.

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

Using your Ceramic Cooktop

To start cooking

• After power on, a single beep sounds, and all the indicators light up for 1 second then go out, indicating that the ceramic cooktop has entered the state of standby mode.

1. Touch the ON/OFF key. All the displays show “-“

2. Place a suitable pan on the selected cooking zone.

   • Make sure the bottom of the pan and the surface of the cooking zone are clean and dry.

3. Touch the cooking zone selection key.

4.  Select a heat setting by touching the “v“ or “ keys.

   • If you don’t choose a heat setting within 1 minute, the ceramic cooktop will automatically switch off. You will need to start again at step 1.
   • You can modify the heat setting at any time during cooking.
   • Adjust heat up or down by holding down the “ “or “ ” key.

When you have finishing cooking

1. Touch the cooking zone selection control that you wish to switch off

2. Turn the cooking zone off by touching the “v” and “^” keys at the same time. The display 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 zone that is still hot.

Safety Features

Locking the Controls

• You can lock the controls to prevent unintended use (for example children accidentally turning the cooking zones on).
• When the controls are locked, all the controls except the ON/OFF control are disabled.

To lock the control
Touch the child lock key. The timer display will show “ Lo “

To lock the control

1. Make sure the ceramic cooktop is turned on.
2. Touch and hold the child lock key for a short time.
3. You can now start using your ceramic cooktop.

When the cooktop is in lock mode, all the controls are disabled except the ON/OFF key. You can always turn the cooktop off with the ON/OFF key in an emergency, but you should unlock the cooktop first before the next use.

Over-Temperature Protection

An inbuilt temperature sensor monitors the temperature inside the cooktop. If an excessive temperature is detected, the ceramic cooktop will stop operation automatically.

Spill Protection

The cooktop will beep and shut down after a certain quantity of liquid overflows onto the controls. Should this occur, turn off the power, follow the usual precautions for cleaning up hot liquids and ensure the cooktop is dry before recommencing cooking. (See Care and Cleaning page 15.)

Residual Heat Warning

When the cooktop has been operating for some time, there will be residual heat. The letter “ H ” appears in the display as a warning against possible injury from hot surfaces.

Auto Shutdown

Another safety feature of the cooktop is auto shut down. This occurs whenever you forget to switch off a cooking zone. The default shutdown times are shown in the table below:

Using the Timer
You can use the timer in two different ways:

• You can use it as a minute minder. In this case, the timer will not turn any cooking zone off when the set time expires.
• You can set it to turn one or more cooking zones off after the set time expires.
  Note: The timer can be set for up to 99 minutes.
  

Using the Timer as a Minute Minder

If you are not selecting any cooking zone

1. Make sure the cooktop is turned on.
   Note: you can use the minute minder even if you’re not selecting any cooking zones.

2. Touch the timer function key, the timer display will show “–”

3. Adjust the timer setting by touching ” ” keys. The timer display will start flashing.
   Hint: Touch the ” “or” ” key once to decrease or increase the time by 1 minute.
   Touch and hold the ” or” ” key to decrease or increase the ” time by 10 minutes.
   If the setting time exceeds 99 minutes, the timer will automatically return to 0 minutes.

4. To cancel the timer, touch the cooking zone selection key, then touch the timer function key. The timer is canceled and “–” will show in the display.
   

5. When the time is set, it will begin to count down immediately. The display will show the remaining time and flash for 5 seconds.

6. When the set time expires a buzzer will sound for 30 seconds and the timer display will show “–“.

Setting the timer to turn off one cooking zone

1. Touch the cooking zone selection key for which you want to set the timer.

2. Touch the timer key and the timer display will show “30”.

3. Set the time by touching the “ ” or “ ” timer regulating keys.

Hint: Touch the“ ” or ” ” timer key once to decrease or increase the time by 1 minute.
Touch and hold the “ ” timer key to decrease or increase the time by 10 minutes.
If the setting time exceeds 99 minutes, the timer will automatically return to 0 minutes.

4. To cancel the timer, touch the cooking zone selection key and then touch the timer function key. The timer is canceled, and “–” will show in the timer display.

5. When the time is set, the timer will begin to count down immediately. The display will show the remaining time and flash for 5 seconds.

NOTE: The red dot next to power level display will illuminate indicating that zone is selected.

Setting the timer to turn off more than one cooking zone

1. If the function is used for more than one cooking zone, the timer will show the shortest time (e.g. zone 2 has a set time of 3 minutes, and zone 3 has a set time of 6 minutes, so the timer display shows “3”.)
   NOTE: A flashing red dot next to a power level display means the timer display is showing the remaining set time for that cooking zone. If you want to check the remaining set time of the other cooking zone, touch the cooking zone selection key for that zone. The timer will indicate its set time.
   

2. When cooking timer expires, the corresponding cooking zone will switch off automatically.

NOTE: If you want to change the time after the timer is set, start again from step 1.

Cooking Guidelines

Cooking Tips

• When food comes to the boil, reduce the power setting.

• Using a lid will reduce cooking time and save energy by retaining the heat.

• Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking time.

• 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 flavours 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 the doneness you prefer. 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.

Care and Cleaning

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

Boilovers 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 dishcloth or paper towel.

4. Follow steps 2 to 4 for ‘Everyday soiling on glass’

above.

| •  Remove stains left by melts and sugary food or spillovers 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.

Spillovers 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.

| •  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.
| 5. Switch the power to the cooktop back on.
