To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage
Before using the Rangetop make sure all the packing materials have been removed.
Always keep the area around the Rangetop free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
n NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from a rear vent may ignite flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst. Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.
Many plastics will burn, and most are damaged by heat. DO NOT leave plastic items on the cooktop as they may burn, melt or soften if left too close to a vent or an energized surface element.
Storage should not be installed directly above a Rangetop. To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the Rangetop. NEVER allow children to play with packaging material.
n NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room.

In Case of Fire
n DO NOT use water on grease fires. NEVER pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a cooktop zone by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid or baking tray. Isolate the power source, where it is safe to do so, either at the control or isolator. If available, use a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Open doors and windows or if a hood is installed turn it on to remove smoke and odor.

n It is recommended that this appliance is serviced annually by a qualified service engineer.
n DO NOT repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this Owner’s Guide. Always consult a qualified service engineer.
All other servicing should be done only by an authorized servicing technician, this may reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the Rangetop.
NEVER modify or alter the construction of a Rangetop by removing panels, wire covers, screws, or any other part of the product.
n DO NOT leave children alone.
Babies, toddlers and young children should not be allowed near the Rangetop at any time. They should NEVER be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
DO NOT allow children to climb or play around the Rangetop. Teach them not to play with controls or any other part of the Rangetop.
CAUTION: NEVER store items of interest to children in the cabinets above a Rangetop or on the backguard of a

1

Rangetop; children climbing on the Rangetop to reach them could be seriously injured.
This instruction is based on safety considerations.
Flammable materials should not be stored near the cooktop zones. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. DO NOT store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance.
Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage.
n To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, make sure your Rangetop has been properly grounded and always disconnect it from main power supply before servicing.
DO NOT touch the cooktop areas.
The marked areas on the cooktop may be hot even if they have been off for some time. Areas near the cooking area may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, DO NOT touch, or let clothing touch or other flammable materials contact the cooktop or areas near the cooking area until they have had enough time to cool. These areas include the Rangetop and rear vent.
Wear Suitable Clothing
NEVER wear loose-fitting or hanging clothes while using the cooktop. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought into contact with a hot surface and may cause severe burns.
Use Only Dry Potholders or Oven Gloves
Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. NEVER let a potholder touch hot heating elements.
DO NOT use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove. They might catch fire if they touch a hot surface.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable ­ using damp gloves might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface. NEVER operate the Rangetop with wet hands.
DO NOT place metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on the cooktop surface since they can get hot.

Induction care
Important information for pacemaker and implanted insulin pump users: The functions of this Rangetop comply with the applicable standards on electromagnetic interference. If you are fitted with a pacemaker or implanted insulin pump and are concerned, please consult your doctor for medical advice.
To fully utilize the power of your induction Rangetop and to ensure longevity of performance, we recommend the use of AGA approved Induction Pots and Pans. If you decide to purchase an alternative set of pans for use on your induction Rangetop, we would strongly recommend that composite aluminum pans with steel inserts, example shown. Fig. 1.1, are avoided. This type of pan construction can significantly reduce the lifetime and performance of your induction Rangetop.
NEVER cook directly on the cooktop surface (Fig. 1.2).
n DO NOT cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and cause a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified installer immediately (Fig. 1.3).
n Should a crack appear in the surface, disconnect the Rangetop immediately from the supply and arrange for its repair.
n NEVER leave surface units unattended at high heat settings – boilover may cause residue that may ignite.
n ALWAYS LIFT pans off the cooktop. Sliding pans may cause marks and scratches (Fig. 1.4).
n Take care NOT TO PLACE HOT LIDS onto the cooktop surface (Fig. 1.5). Lids that have been used to cover a hot pan can “stick” or create a “vacuum” effect to the glass top. Should this occur, DO NOT attempt to lift the lid off the glass surface, this may damage the glass. Instead slide the lid to the edge of the cooktop and remove, taking care not to scratch the cooktop surface. Alternatively wait until the lid has cooled to room temperature, the vacuum has been released, then remove the lid by lifting it from the cooktop.

Pan Performance Check
Method:
Use a 1.85 Kw zone (refer for ratings of each zone Fig. 2.4).
· Fill an unlidded pan with 1/2 liter of room temperature water (the diameter of pan should not be greater than the outer circle of the zone).
· Operate the zone at power level 9.
· The water should boil within 3 ½ minutes.
Boiling times outside this duration would suggest that the pan construction is not ideal to provide best performance and can result in premature component failure.
Use the Right Size Pan
This appliance is equipped with cooktop zones of different sizes. Use utensils with flat bottoms. DO NOT use unstable pans and position the handles away from the edge of the cooktop.
The proper relationship of pan location to zones will improve efficiency.
n NEVER leave cooktop zones unattended at high settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking and greasy spills may catch on fire.
n DO NOT use hotplate protectors, foil or hotplate covers of any description. These may affect the safe use of your hotplate zones and are potentially hazardous to health.
n Only certain types of stainless steel, enameled steel pans or cast iron pans with enameled bases are suitable for induction cooktop cooking.
n The handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward to reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.

General safety instructions
This appliance must be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with the installation instructions. The installation must comply with the relevant regulations and also the local electricity supply company requirements.
This appliance is designed for domestic cooking only. Use for any other purpose could invalidate any warranty or liability claim.
The Rangetop should be serviced by an authorized service technician and only approved parts used. Have the installer show you the location of the Rangetop circuit breaker. Mark it for easy reference. Always allow the Rangetop to cool and then switch off at the circuit breaker before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work, unless specified otherwise in this guide.
n All parts of the Rangetop become hot with use and will retain heat even after you have stopped cooking.
n Take care when touching Rangetop, to minimize the possibility of burns, always be certain that the controls are in the OFF position and that it is cool before attempting to clean the Rangetop.
n Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Clean only parts listed in this guide.
In the interests of hygiene and safety, the Rangetop should be kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other food particles could result in a fire.
Always keep combustible wall coverings or curtains etc. a safe distance away from your Rangetop.
n DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of the Rangetop while it is in use.
DO NOT store or use combustible materials, or flammable liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.
Take great care when heating fats and oils, as they will ignite if they get too hot.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

n NEVER leave a deep fry pan unattended. Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans should be only a maximum of one third full of fat. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spill over when food is added. If you use a combination of oils or fats in frying, stir them together before heating, or as the fats melt.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills or overheating of foods when frying at high or medium high temperatures. NEVER try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fry pan. Wait until the fat is cool.
When using an electrical appliance near the cooktop, be sure that the cable of the appliance does not come into contact with the cooktop.
Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.
Make sure that your kitchen is well ventilated at all times. Use extractor fans or hoods when installed.
The Rangetop is designed for cooking foods only and must not be used for any other purpose.
The specification of this Rangetop should not be altered.
n This appliance is heavy, take care when moving it.
When the Rangetop is not in use ensure that the control knobs are in the off position.

The Rangetop
Use only pans that are suitable for induction Rangetops. We recommend stainless steel, enamel steel pans or cast-iron pans with enamel bases. Note that some stainless-steel pans are not suitable for use with an induction Rangetop so please check carefully before purchasing any cookware. The controls for the induction zones are shown in Fig. 2.1. Pans made of copper, aluminum or ceramic are not suitable for use on an induction Rangetop. The kind of pan you use, and the quantity of food affects the setting required. Higher settings are required for larger quantities of food. Pots and pans should have thick, smooth, flat bottoms (Fig. 2.2). This allows the maximum heat transfer from the Rangetop to the pan, making cooking quick and energy efficient. Never use a round-bottomed wok, even with a stand. The very best pans have bases that are very slightly curved up when cold (Fig. 2.3). If you hold a ruler across the bottom you will see a small gap in the middle. When they heat up the metal expands and lies flat on the cooking surface. Make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry to prevent any residue burning onto the Rangetop panel. This also helps prevent scratches and deposits. Use pans that are the similar size as (or slightly larger than) the areas marked on the cooktop. Using a lid will help the contents boil more quickly.
n Always take care before touching the surface, even when the Rangetop is turned off. It may be hotter than you think! 5

Overheat function
This function identifies when the temperature of the pan rises rapidly and works to maintain a safe level of pan temperature. It should not interfere with normal cooking.
Cookware with bases that become distorted (Fig. 2.2) when heated may interfere with the operation of the Overheat Function. This may result in damage to your cookware or Induction Glass Rangetop.
Rangetop control indications & warnings
The induction Rangetop comprises of five cooking zones containing induction elements with different ratings and diameters (Fig. 2.4) each with a pan detector and residual heat indicator, and a Rangetop control display.
The Rangetop control display (Fig. 2.5) informs you of the following induction Rangetop functions:
· Pan Detector · H Residual Heat Indicator · A Automatic Heat-up · L Child Lock · Low Temperature/Simmer Setting
· 36″ – / / · 48″ – / · P Power Boost Setting · ON Advises user one or more zones are active
Pan detector,
n IMPORTANT: After use, switch off the Rangetop element by its control and DO NOT RELY on the pan detector.
If a cooking area is switched on and there is no pan in place or if the pan is too small for the cooking area, then no heat will be generated. The symbol [ ]will appear on the Rangetop control display; this is the “pan-missing symbol”. Place a pan of the correct size on the cooking area and the [ ] will disappear and cooking can begin. After 10 minutes without detecting a pan the cooking zone will switch off automatically.
Table 2.1 shows the minimum pan sizes recommended for each cooking zone.
NOTE: Using pans with a base diameter smaller than those recommended will result in a power reduction.
Residual heat indicator
After use, a cooking zone will remain hot for a period of time as heat dissipates. When a cooking zone is switched off the residual heat indicator symbol [ H ], will appear in the display. This shows that the cooking zone temperature is above 140 °F (60 °C) and may still cause burns. Once the temperature has dropped to below 140 °F (60 °C) the [ H ] will go out.

6

Automatic heat-up
This function is available on all of the cooking zones. It allows rapid heating to bring the selected cooking zone up to temperature. The zone will maintain 100 % power (level 9) for the specified time and then automatically reduce power to the preset level. The function is selected by turning the control knob to the `A’ position. This can be selected by turning the control knob momentarily counter-clockwise from the zero position until the symbol [ A ] is shown on the Rangetop control display.
Once the [ A ] is displayed, turn the control knob to the level of your choice (1 to 9). The pan will heat up at 100% power for a specified time before the power is reduced to the level selected.
When the Automatic Heat-up function is activated, the Rangetop control display will flash alternately between the [ A ] setting and the chosen power level.
Once the Automatic Heat-up time has ended the Rangetop display will stop flashing and will show the chosen power level.
The Automatic Heat-up function can be stopped by either turning the control knob back to the “0” power setting or turning the control knob to the “9” power setting.
For your guidance Table 2.2 shows the time available at 100% power depending on the power level selected in the Automatic Heat-up mode.

The maximum times for all other power levels are shown in Table 2.3.

Power boost setting
All of the induction cooking zones have Power Boost available, activated by turning the control knob clockwise until [ P ] is shown on the Rangetop control display.
Power Boost allows additional power to be made available for each of the cooking zones. This is useful to bring a large pan of water to the boil quickly.
The Power Boost function operates for a maximum of 10 minutes on each zone, after which the power is automatically reduced to setting 9.
When using the Power Boost function, the cooking zones are linked.
Fig. 2.8 shows the Rangetop layout. Zones A and B are linked together as are zones D and E.
This means that when using zone A on Power Boost and then switching zone B to Power Boost, the power to zone A will reduce slightly. The last zone switched to Power Boost always takes priority. Zones D and E work in the same way. Zone C is not shared.
n This is a built-in safety device.
Deactivate the Power Boost function by turning the control knob to a lower setting.
n Please remember not to leave the Rangetop unattended. Care should be taken to not allow your cookware to boil dry. Damage to your cookware and Induction Glass Rangetop may result.
