Using your cooktop
Using the touch controls
The cooking zone and timer displays also function as
touch controls. To select a cooking zone or the timer,
simply touch its display. Use the ball of your finger, not its
tip. The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to
apply any pressure.
Once you have selected a cooking zone or the timer, you
have 10 seconds to set it (while the little red light at the
bottom right of the display is on). If the little red light
goes out before you have had a chance to select a setting,
simply re-select the cooking zone or timer by touching its
display again.
Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and there
is no object (eg a utensil or a cloth) covering them.
Even a thin film of water may make the controls
difficult to operate.

Notes on using the timer
Skip the last step (6) if you want to set the timer to less than 10 minutes.
To modify or cancel a timer setting, follow steps 1 and 2 under ‘To set the timer for a cooking
zone’, then modify the number of minutes as wished.
Once you have set the timer for one cooking zone, you can go on to set it for additional cooking
zones by repeating the steps under ‘To set the timer for a cooking zone’ for each, being mindful
of the following:
- The timer display will always revert to showing the setting for the cooking zone with the
shortest remaining time.
- To check the timer setting for a different cooking zone, simply select the cooking zone. Its
remaining time will briefly appear in the timer display.
Cooking guidelines
Cookware
Use heavy-gauge, flat, smooth-based cookware that matches the diameter of the cooking zone.
This will provide good contact with the glass and help reduce cooking times. Low heat or slow
cooking is often due to incorrect cookware size.
Cookware with a stainless steel sandwich base or enamelled cast iron will give you the best
results.
Saucepans or heavy frying pans with jagged edges or a rough base will scratch the glass.
Always lift pans off the cooktop - do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the cooktop.
Aluminium and copper-bottomed cookware can leave a metallic residue on the cooktop. If left
on the glass, this becomes difficult to remove. Clean the cooktop after every use.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven, or another cooking zone, on the glass surface
when the surface is cool.
Avoid placing anything on a hot cooking zone until it has cooled completely (Hhas gone out).
Ensure that pans never extend over the touch control area.

24
Cooking guidelines
Important!
Take care when deep-frying: oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high setting.
Cooking tips
When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting.
Using a lid will reduce cooking times through 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
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 flavoursome 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 a 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, divide the food into 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.
