ENERGY SAVING TIPS Make the most of your hot plate’s residual heat by switching it off a few minutes before you finish cooking. The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate completely; a container that is smaller than the hot plate will cause energy to be wasted. Cover your pots and pans with tight-fitting lids while cooking and use as little water as possible. Cooking with the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption. Use only flat-bottomed pots and pans. NOTE People with a pacemaker or similar medical device should use care when standing near this cooktop while it is on. The electromagnetic field may affect the pacemaker or similar device. Consult your doctor, or the manufacturer of the pacemaker or similar medical device for additional information about its effects with electromagnetic fields of the cooktop.

If it has been damaged during transit, DO NOT USE, contact the “seller/ dealer/ Whirlpool After-Sales Service” immediately. SELECTION OF INSTALLATION EQUIPMENT – Cut out the work surface according to the sizes shown in the drawing. – For the purpose of installation and use, a minimum of 5 cm space shall be preserved around the hole. – Be sure the thickness of the work surface is at least 30mm. Please select heat resistant work surface material to avoid larger deformation caused by the heat radiation from the hotplate.

OVERHEAT PROTECTION The temperature sensor can monitor the temperature inside the cooktop. When an excessive temperature is monitored, the cooktop will automatically stop the operation.

OVERFLOW PROTECTION For your safety, the cooktop will automatically shut off the power if liquid boiling spilled over the control panel or wet cloth covering the control panel. All control buttons became invalid except ON/OFF and Child Lock button, unless you wipe the area of the control panel dry. Note: WRK6140AUS does not have the overflow protection feature.

COOKING GUIDELINES Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up quickly. At extremely high temperatures, the oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a risk of fire.

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. · Minimize 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, at around 85°C, occurs below boiling point when bubbles are just rising occasionally to the surface of the cooking liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and tender stews because flavors develop without overcooking the food. You should also cook eggbased and flour thickened sauces below boiling point. · Some dishes, 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.

19

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 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 more firm the meat 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.

COOKING TABLE The cooking table offers an example of the cooking type for each power level. The actual delivered power of each power level depends on the cooking zone dimension.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Important: Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from ELECTRICITY supply and ensure the appliance is completely cool. CLEANING THE COOKTOP SURFACE Clean spillages from the cooktop surface as soon as possible after use. Always ensure the surface is cool enough before cleaning. Use a soft cloth or kitchen paper to clean the surface. If the spillage has dried on the surface, you may need to use a specialist vitro- ceramic glass cleaner, which is available for most supermarkets. Do not use other abrasive cleaners and/or wire wool ect., as it may scratch the ceramic glass surface of your cooktop. DAMAGE FROM SUGARY SPILLS AND MELTED PLASTIC Special care should be taken when removing hot substances to avoid permanent damage to the glass surface. Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface of your cooktop (not covered by the warranty) unless the spill is removed while still hot. Special care should be taken when removing hot substances.

Important!

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

1. Switch off the power supply. 2. Apply a vitro-ceramic glass cleaner while the glass is still warm (but not hot!) 3. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. 4. Switch on the power supply to the cooktop

· When turn off the power supply of cooktop, there will be no `hot surface’ indication but the cooking zone may still be hot!
