A Word on Induction Cooking
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology. It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the pan, rather than indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because the pan eventually warms it up.

Before using your New Hob

• Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
• Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction hob.

Using the 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.
• 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

• 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. 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.

• Suitable cookware: cookware made of steel, enamel-coated steel pans, or cast-iron pans.
• Unsuitable cookware: alloy steel cookware with cooper or aluminium bottom and glass cookware.
• Some cookware does not have a fully ferromagnetic bottom. In such case, only the magnetic part will heat up, while the rest of the bottom will remain cool.
• When using a pressure cooker, keep an eye on it until the right pressure is reached. First set the cooking zone to maximum power; then, following the pressure cooker manufacturer’s instructions, decrease the cooking power when appropriate.
• Make sure there is enough liquid in the pan (pressure cooker or any other pot or pan). Due to overheating, using an empty pot on the cooking zone may result in damage to both, pan and hob.
• For best cooking results, the ferromagnetic area (diameter) of the poVpan should match the size of the cooking zone. If cooking zone doesn’t recognize the pan, try placing it on a different cooking zone with smaller diameter.

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. Use pans whose diameter is as large as the graphic of the zone selected.Using a pot a slightly wider energy will be used at its maximum efficiency .If you use smaller pot efficiency could be less than expected. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.

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

Pan dimensions
The cooking zones are up to a limit, automatically adapted to the diameter of the pan. However the bottom of this pan must have a minimum of diameter according to the corresponding cooking zone. To obtain the best efficiency of your hob, please place the pan in the centre of the cooking zone.

Restrictions when using the Boost (P)
All of the cooktop has a maximum power. When the Boost function is enabled and not to exceed the maximum power, the electronic control automatically reduces the level of cooking another heating zone.

FLEXI ZONE

Burner Combination
This function is used if one burner is not enough to heat the dishes properly{for example, large dishes for fish or meat). To enable the “FLEXI / Combination cooking zone” function, press the corresponding button on the display in the display.

If necessary, it can be used as a single burner or as two independent burners.

In this case, there are two inductors operating independently of each other. During operation of the free heating zone, only that area on which the cookware is installed is activated.

If more than one burner is needed to place the cookware .install it starting from the top or bottom edge of the free heating zone.

Use of two independent burners
The front and rear burners(in each case with two inductors) can be used independently of each other. Set the required degree of heating for each burner separately. Use only one pan/pan for each burner.

Recommendations
Place cookware on cooking surfaces with more than one free heating zone so that only one of the free heating zones is covered. Otherwise, the hobs do not activate correctly, which will negatively affect the cooking result.

Great area

1. To enable flexible area as one large area, just press the button below icon.
2. To adjust the power, set the level by sliding the slider from Oto 9.
3. Press again the following against key to use the flexible area as two independent areas. The cooking zones will operate independently of each other.

Over-Temperature Protection
A temperature sensor equipped can monitor the temperature inside the Induction hob. When an excessive temperature is monitored, the Induction hob will stop operation automatically.

Detection of Small Articles
When an unsuitable size or non-magnetic pan (e.g. aluminium), or some other small item (e.g. knife, fork, key) has been left on the hob, the hob automatically go on to standby in 1 minute. The fan will keep cooking down the induction hob for a further 1 minute.

Auto Shutdown Protection
Auto shut down is a safety protection function for your hob. It shut down automatically if ever you forget to turn off your cooking. The default working times for various power levels are shown in the below table

People with a heart pace maker should consult with their doctor before using this unit.

Liquid Overflow Protection
When around 140ml liquid overflow on the control panel and keeps on more than 3 buttons for about 10 seconds, the induction hob will stop working automatically.

Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using high power. At extremely high temperature 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.
• Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
• 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 flavour some 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 an induction 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 induction hob to find the settings that best suit you.
