The Automatic Cooking Function will last for 5 minutes only, and after 5 minutes the cooking power will return to the desired cooking level set before this function was activated.

Cooking Guidelines

Cooking Tips

• When food comes to the boil, reduce the power setting.
• Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
• Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cookingtimes.
• Startcooking on a high settingand reduce the settingwhen 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 flavoursome steaks:

1. Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes beforecooking.
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 hotpan.
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 ofoil.
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 cooktopis switched off, there will be no‘hot surface’ indication but the cooking zone may still be hot! Take extreme care.

•  Heavy-duty scourers, somenylon 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 dish cloth or paper towel.

4. Follow steps 2 to 4 for

‘Everyday soiling on glass’ above.

14. On Public Holidays or other periods when regular business and wholesale operations are temporarily ceased, repairer availability and warranty response times may extend beyond the standard response times due to the unavailability of repairers and parts.

15. For any repair performed on a Product under this Kleenmaid Warranty where no fault can be found, or the item is deemed by Kleenmaid or an authorised agent, to be not faulty under this Kleenmaid Warranty, or the repair or fault is not covered under this Kleenmaid Warranty, a ‘No Fault Found’ fee is payable by you. Kleenmaid will advise you of this cost and seek your agreement to pay such costs before commencing such repairs.

16. Any repairs or services required that are outside the terms and conditions of this Kleenmaid Warranty can be carried out at your request at your cost (including where the Product has not been installed or set up correctly). Kleenmaid will always advise you of this cost and seek your agreement to pay such costs before commencing such repairs. A credit card may be required prior to the commencement of such services.

17. Extra charges will be payable by the customer should the Product not be readily accessible without special equipment, such as but not limited to cranes and lifts or should the Product be installed in a position that service access is blocked and/or repair work is not possible without uninstalling the Product to gain access.

18. You, the customer, may be entitled to purchase an extended warranty in respect of the Product. Any extended warranty will not be issued by Kleenmaid but by a third party. Any extended warranty services will be provided directly by the third party as principal and not as agent for Kleenmaid, under their extended warranty terms and conditions and not under this Kleenmaid Warranty.
