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.

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 are no objects (e.g. a utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin layer 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.
• 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. Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base. Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat on the glass and is the same size as the cooking zone. Using a pot that is slightly wider means energy will be used at its maximum efficiency. If you use a smaller pot, efficiency could be less than expected. Pots with a diameter of less than 140 mm could be undetected by the hob if placed on the larger cooking zone. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone. Always lift pans off the induction hob – do not slide as they may scratch the glass.

To Start Cooking

1. Touch the ON/OFF control. With the power on, the buzzer beeps once, all displays show “ – “ or “ – – “, indicating that the induction hob has entered the standby mode.
