Cooking tips:

Heat setting

|

Suitability

---|---
1 – 2|

• delicate warming for small amounts of food
• melting chocolate, butter, and foods that burn quickly
• gentle simmering
• slow warming

3 – 4|

• reheating
• rapid simmering
• cooking rice

5 – 6|

• pancakes

7 – 8|

• sautéing
• cooking pasta

9|

• stir-frying
• searing
• bringing soup to the boil
• boiling water

When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature 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 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. Heat up a heavy-based frying pan.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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 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.

To choose proper pan
You appliance can tell whether the pan you are using is suitable or not. If the power indicator is flashing, that means pan is not suitable and won’t heat up. Following up below points will help you choose proper pan.

1. Choose proper pan base Different types of pan are suitable for ceramic cooking, but those with a thick base are the best.
   It is recommended to use flat-bottom pans with. Do not use pans with a rough base to prevent scratching the heat surface of the cooktop
   

2. Choose proper pan material
   Glass, ceramic, earthen-ware, aluminum, copper and non-magnetic stainless steel pans are generally unsuitable. However, enameled stainless steel pans with a special base suitable for ceramic cooking may be used (make sure the pan is labeled as suitable for ceramic cooking).

Caution :

• Avoid scraping the glass of the hob when you move the pans. Lift them up to move.
• Do not leave any cooking utensils on the hob when it is switched on. It could detect them as pans and heat them up.
• Never heat an empty pan.

Auto Shutdown

Another safety feature of the hob is auto shutdown. This occurs whenever you forget to switch off a cooking zone. The default shutdown times are shown in the table below:

Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Caution :
Before maintenance or cleaning is carried out, the cooktop should be disconnected from the main power supply. Ensure that the cooktop is switched off at the wall socket and the plug removed.

• Spills and splashes will not harden and stick to the glass, as it hardly heats up.
• Both Vitro-ceramic and zone rings should however be cleaned of any spills or splashes as quickly as possible.
• Slight stains can be removed with kitchen paper or cloth. Do not use steam clearer.
• More resistant stains will need specific product for vitro-ceramic glass. Follow each product’s instructions.
• To avoid the chance of permanent damage from stains and spills, it is recommended you clean any residue off the glass by using an cleaner that is specially formulated for cleaning & polishing ceramic glass cooktops.
• Switch off the appliance from the electrical supply, wait for the glass to completely cool down and use a cleaner that is non-scratch and formulated to remove stains & spills; avoid using general household cleaners that may scratch or damage your cooktop.
