Iron pot
ceramic glass plate induction coil

Before Using Your New Induction Hob
· Read this guide, taking special note of the `Safety Warnings’ section. · Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction hob.
4. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
4.1. 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. · Each time a touch is registered, a beep sounds. · Make sure that the operating elements are always clean and dry and that no object (e.g. a
utensil or cloth) is placed on them. Even a thin film of water can make it difficult to operate the controls.

4.2. Choosing
· 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.
11

· Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction.
· If you do not have a magnet: 1. Put some water in the pan you want to check. 2. If does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
· Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.
· Cookware bases with aluminium content. · These reduce the ferromagnetic range, which means that less
energy is transferred to the cookware, resulting in this cookware not being recognised sufficiently or not at all and therefore not being heated sufficiently.
· Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
· Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, lies flat against the glass and is the same size as the cooking zone. Use pans whose diameter is the same size as the graphic of the selected zone. If you use a pan that is slightly larger, the energy will be used to the maximum. If you use a smaller pan, the power may be lower than expected. Pots with a diameter of less than 140 mm may not be recognised by the hob. Always place your pot in the centre of the cooking zone.
· Always lift pans of the Induction hob ­ do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
12

4.3. Pan Dimension
The cooking zones are automatically adjusted to the diameter of the pan up to a certain limit. However, the base of the pan must have a minimum diameter corresponding to the cooking zone. To achieve the best efficiency of your hob, please place the pan in the middle of the cooking zone.

5. QUICK START GUIDE
Be careful when deep-frying, as oil and fat heat up very quickly, especially when using PowerBoost. At extremely high temperatures, oil and fat will ignite spontaneously, posing a serious fire hazard.
Cooking Tips
· When the food is boiling, reduce the temperature. · Using a lid shortens the cooking time and saves energy as it retains the heat. · Reduce the amount of liquid or fat to shorten the cooking time. · Start cooking at a high level and reduce the level when the food is cooked through.
Simmering, Cooking rice · Simmering takes place below the boiling point, at around 85°C, when bubbles occasionally rise to the surface of the cooking liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and delicate stews because it allows the flavours to develop without overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based sauces and sauces thickened with flour below the boiling point. · For some cooking methods, such as cooking rice using the absorption method, it may be necessary to set a higher setting than the lowest setting to ensure that the food is cooked properly in the recommended time.
Searing Steak To cook juicy flavorsome steaks:
1. Leave the meat to stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking. 2. Heat a heavy frying pan. 3. Brush both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and
then place the meat in the hot pan. 4. Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time depends on the thickness
of the steak and how well done you want it. The time can vary between 2 and 8 minutes per side. Press on the steak to check how cooked through it is ­ the firmer it feels, the better cooked through it is. 5. Allow the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes before serving so that it can relax and become tender.
For Stir-frying 1. Choose an induction-compatible flat wok or a large frying pan. 2. Have all the ingredients and utensils ready. Stir-frying should be quick. If you are preparing large quantities, cook the food in several smaller batches. 3. Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil. 4. Cook the meat first, set aside and keep warm. 5. Stir-fry the vegetables. When hot but still crisp, turn the heat down to low, return the meat to the pan and add the sauce. 6. Stir the ingredients gently so that they are heated through. 7. Serve immediately.
20

Detection of Small Articles
If a pan of unsuitable size or a non-magnetic pan (e.g. aluminium) or another small item (e.g. knife, fork, key) is left on the cooktop, the hob automatically switches to standby after 1 minute. The fan continues to work for another 1 minute.
Heat Settings
The settings below are only guidelines. The exact setting will depend on several factors, including your cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment with the induction hob to find the settings that suit you best.

Flush-mount Installation Into The Worktop
Appliances without faceted edges or decorative frames, are suitable for flush mounting.
Installing the appliance
The appliance may only be installed into a temperature- and water-resistant countertop, such as a countertop made of (natural) stone (marble, granite), or solid wood (the edges along the cut-out have to be sealed). When installing into a countertop made of ceramics, wood, or glass, a wooden subframe should be used. The frame is not supplied with the appliance. The appliance may only be installed into a countertop made of other materials after you have consulted the countertop manufacturer and obtained his express approval. Internal dimension of the basic unit should be at least equal to the internal cutout for the appliance. This will allow simple removal of the appliance from the countertop. Attach sealing tape along the perimeter of the bottom of the glass panel.
First, feed the power cord through the cutout. Place the appliance over the center of the cutout. Connect the appliance to the power mains (see instructions for connecting the appliance). Before sealing the appliance, test its operation. Seal the slot between the appliance and the countertop using a silicone sealant. The silicone sealant used to seal the appliance has to be temperatureresistant (to at least 160 °C). Smooth out the silicone sealant using a suitable tool. Observe the instructions for use of the selected silicone sealant. Do not switch on the appliance until the silicone sealant has dried completely.
