General Use
z
Do not leave the heating elements turned on with empty pots and pans
or with no pans.
z
Never heat a tin or can containing foods without opening it first: it might explode!
z
The extracted air must not be conveyed through the same ducts used to extract the
fumes generated by gas combustion or other types of combustion devices. Never use
the device without the grille properly installed!
z
When the device is used together with other devices powered with non-electrical
energy, the negative pressure of the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10•5 bar).
z
There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the range hood is used at the
same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that
only discharge the air back into the room).
z
For Australia and New Zealand: Range hoods and other cooking fume extractors may
adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning gas or other fuels (including
those in other rooms) due to back flow of combustion gases. These gases can
potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After installation of a range hood or
other cooking fume extractor, the operation of flued gas appliances should be tested by
a competent person to ensure that back flow of combustion gases does not occur.
z
Never leave the appliance unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
z
Never use your appliance as a work or storage surface.
z
Wear proper apparel — Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while
using the appliance.
z
Do not leave any magnetic item, e.g. cutlery, roast dish, etc. on your cooktop, including
the cooking zones and user interface.
z

COOKWARE
Induction cookware
The quality of your cookware can affect cooking performance. Only use
induction-compatible cookware that has been specifically designed for induction cooking.
Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or the bottom of the pan.
Suitable cookware material:
z
stainless steel –
with a magnetic base or core
z
aluminium and copper –
with a magnetic base or core
z
cast iron
z
steel
z
enamelled steel.
Unsuitable cookware material:
z
aluminium or copper –
without a magnetic base
z
glass
z
wood
z
porcelain
z
ceramic or earthenware.
To check if cookware material is suitable for induction use, carry out a magnet test:
Move a magnet across the base of the pan. If the magnet is attracted, the pan is induction
suitable. Ensure attraction is consistent across the base of the pan. If there are gaps, such
as an indented manufacturer’s logo, then the performance will be impaired.
If you do not have a magnet, fill the pan with some water and refer to section 'Using your
induction zones'. If
does not flash and the water is heating, pan is suitable.
Quickest heating Performance
High content of ferromagnetic material. Heating area is
consistent across the base and up the sides of pan.
Average heating Performance
Reduced area of ferromagnetic material. Reduced zone of
heating, results in poor performance and slower heating.
Slow heating Performance
Very limited area of ferromagnetic material. Results in very
slow heating performance.
Note: This type of pot is good for very delicate tasks such
as melting chocolate, as heating is very slow.
Ensure the base of your cookware is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is similar in size
as the cooking zone. A small pot on a large cooking zone may not be detected. Always
centre your pan on the cooking zone and lift pans off the cooktop – do not slide, or they
may scratch the glass.

COOKING GUIDE
Take care when frying: oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using
PowerBoost. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this
presents a serious fire risk.
Cooking tips
z
When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting.
z
Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
z
Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
z
Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has
heated through.
Simmering, cooking rice
z
Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 85°C, when bubbles are just rising
occasionally to the surface of the cooking liquid. This 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.
z
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.
Stir-frying
When stir-frying be careful to lift the pan clear of the surface if tossing the ingredients.
Sliding the pan across the cooktop surface may scratch it.
1 Choose an induction 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.

This is caused by
the technology of
induction cooking.
A cooling fan built into your
cooktop has come on to
prevent the electronics from
overheating. It may continue
to run even after you’ve
turned the cooktop off.
The cooktop cannot detect
the pan because it is not
suitable for induction cooking.
The cooktop cannot detect
the pan because it is too
small for the cooking zone or
not properly centred on it.
This is normal. The cooking
zones will remain inactive,
but the indicator lights will
remain on.
This is normal for induction
cookware and does not
indicate a fault.
This is normal, but the
noise should quieten down
or disappear completely
when you decrease the
