INTRODUCTION

About your new cooktop
Thank you for buying a Fisher & Paykel ceramic glass cooktop. This guide introduces you to all its special features. We recommend you read the whole guide before using your new cooktop, for both safety and cooking success.

For more information, visit our local website listed on the back cover.

• Before using your new cooktop Read this user guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety and warnings’ section.
• Remove any protective film that may still be on your cooktop.

1. Single cooking zone
2. Dual cooking zone
3. Cooking zone with SuperSimmer feature
4. ‘Hot surface’ indicators
5. Control dials

USING YOUR COOKTOP

To start cooking
● Turn the control dial of the cooking zone you wish to use to the High setting, then adjust as necessary.
● When using dual cooking zones, you may choose to use the inner zone only ( ) or the full dual cooking zone ( ).

Single cooking zone control

● Some models have a cooking zone with a unique SuperSimmer feature. This special, low turndown range is excellent for the most delicate cooking tasks, like melting chocolate or simmering soups and stews.
● For further advice on cooking and using the SuperSimmer feature, see ‘Cooking guidelines’ following.

‘Hot surface’ indicators
● As soon as you turn a cooking zone on, its ‘Hot surface’ indicator will start glowing.
● It will continue to glow even after you have turned the cooking zone off, until the glass becomes cool enough to be safely touched.

When you have finished cooking
● When you have finished using a cooking zone, turn its dial to the off (O) position.
● When you have finished using your cooktop, check that all dials are turned off.

COOKING GUIDELINES

Cookware

● Use heavy-gauge, flat, smooth-based cookware that matches the diameter of the cooking zone. This will provide good contact with the glass and help reduce cooking times. Low heat or slow cooking is often due to incorrect cookware size.
● Cookware with a stainless steel sandwich base or enameled cast iron will give you the best results.
● Saucepans or heavy frying pans with jagged edges or a rough base will scratch the glass.
● Always lift pans off the cooktop – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
● Never use plastic or aluminum foil dishes on the cooktop.
● Aluminum and copper-based cookware will leave metallic stains on the cooktop. To prevent these building up, clean the cooktop after every use following the instructions in ‘Care and cleaning’. If the metallic stains are allowed to burn onto the surface, they may react with the glass and may no longer be removable. They don’t, however, affect performance.
● It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven, or another cooking zone, on the glass surface when the surface is cool.
● Avoid placing anything in a hot cooking zone until it has cooled completely.

IMPORTANT!
● Never leave the appliance unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
● Take care when deep-frying: oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high setting.

General cooking tips
● Using a lid will reduce cooking times by retaining the heat.
● Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
● Start cooking on a high setting and reduce it when the food has come to a boil or heated through.
● Even after a cooking zone has been turned off, its glass surface retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from hot cooking zones when the food is cooked.

Cooking rice, simmering
● 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.
● Simmering occurs below boiling point when bubbles are just rising occasionally to the surface of the cooking liquid. It’s the key to delicious soups and tender stews because the flavors develop without overcooking the food. Egg-based sauces are best kept below boiling point throughout cooking, and flour-based sauces should also be gently simmered after they have reached boiling point. Using the

SuperSimmer feature (some models only)
● The front right cooking zone on some models has a unique SuperSimmer feature. This allows the cooking zone to be turned down to very low and even heat settings. These are ideal for melting chocolate and butter, cooking rice and delicate sauces, simmering soups and stews, and keeping cooked food hot.
● The high settings of the SuperSimmer cooking zone are just as powerful as those of the other cooking zones, allowing food to be browned, seared, sautéed, or boiled before simmering, all on the same cooking zones.

Searing steak

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 and season it to taste.
4. Lower the meat onto the hot pan.
5. 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 vary between 2 to 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.

CARE AND CLEANING

IMPORTANT!
● For your safety, switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall before any cleaning. In this case, there will be no ‘Hot surface’ indication, but the cooking zones may still be hot! Take extreme care.
● Do not use a steam cleaner to clean your cooktop.
● Do not use scourers or any harsh/abrasive cleaning agents to clean your cooktop, as these can scratch the ceramic glass or stainless steel.

Light soiling on glass after
every use
– fingerprints and marks
– stains left by non-sugary
liquids (eg water, soup, oil)|  ● Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. A  microfibre or ‘glass’ cloth is ideal for this.
● Wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.| Before cleaning, make sure that the glass is a safe
temperature to touch.
Non-sugary boilovers, spills, and  food stains on glass
– burnt-on  food or grease
– pasta water, milk, soup| 1.  Remove the soiling with ceramic cooktop cleaner using a  sponge or non-abrasive scourer suitable for ceramic glass.
2.  Remove any excess cleaner and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
3.  Apply ceramic cooktop conditioner or protector following the instructions on the dispenser.
A microfibre or ‘glass’ cloth is ideal for this.|  ● 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 cleaner residue on the cooktop: the glass may become stained.
Hot sugary spills, melted plastic  or metal on glass
– sugar, sugary syrups
– jams and jellies
– vegetables or vegetable water
with high sugar content (peas, sweetcorn, beetroot)
– melted aluminum foil or plastic wrap| Remove these immediately with a spatula or razor blade scraper  suitable for ceramic glass cooktops, but beware of hot spills and  surfaces:
1.  Hold the blade or utensil at a 30o  angle and scrape the soiling or spill to a cool area of the cooktop.
2.  Immediately clean the soiling up with a dishcloth or paper towel.
3 . Follow the instructions for ‘Light soiling on glass after every use’ above.| ● Remove stains left by melts and sugary food or spillovers immediately. If left to cool on the glass, they may be difficult to remove or even permanently damage the glass surface.
● Cut hazard: the blade in a scraper is razor-sharp when the safety cover is retracted. Use with extreme care and always store safely out of reach of children.
Metallic stains on glass caused by  cookware with
– copper base
– aluminum base|  ● Follow the instructions for ‘Non-sugary boilovers, spills and  food stains on glass’ above
● For stubborn metallic stains, try using a razor blade scraper suitable for ceramic glass cooktops, holding it at a 30o angle.| If the cooktop is not cleaned after every use and copper or aluminum stains are allowed to burn onto the surface,  they may react with the glass and no longer be removable.  They don’t, however, affect performance.
Stainless steel strip
– food stains
– fingerprints and marks| 1  Wipe the soiling off with a cloth using a mild household detergent or stainless steel cleaner.
1  Wipe the surface dry using a microfibre cloth. 1  For extra shine, use a suitable stainless steel polish..|  ● Immediately wipe off any stainless steel cleaner if it is spilled onto the control dials.
● Commercial stainless steel cleaners containing chlorine compounds are corrosive and may damage the appearance of your cooktop. Always read the label to check if your cleaner contains chlorine.
Control dials
– food stains
– fingerprints and marks| 1  Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
1  Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.| Do not use stainless steel cleaner on the dials, as doing
so may damage their coating.
