A Word on Induction Cooking
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking
technology. It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the
pan, rather than indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes
hot only because the pan eventually warms it up.
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 is no object (e.g. a
utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the
controls difficult to operate.
Or
Using your Induction Hob
To start cooking
1. Touch the ON/OFF control.
After power on, the buzzer beeps once, all displays show
“ –“ or “ – – “, indicating that the induction hob has entered
the state of standby mode.
2. Place a suitable pan on the cooking zone that
you wish to use.
• Make sure the bottom of the pan and the surface
of the cooking zone are clean and dry.
3. Touching the heating zone selection control, and
a indicator next to the key will flash.
4. Set a power level by touching the “-” or “+” control or slide along the slider.
a. If you don’t select a heat zone within 1 minute, the induction hob will
automatically switch off. You will need to start again at step 1.
b. You can modify the heat setting at any time during cooking.
If the display flashes alternately with the heat
setting
This means that:
• you have not placed a pan on the correct cooking zone or,
• the pan you’re using is not suitable for induction cooking or,
• the pan is too small or not properly centred on the cooking zone.
No heating takes place unless there is a suitable pan on the cooking zone.
The display will automatically turn off after 1 minute if no suitable pan is placed on
it.
When you have finished cooking
1. Touching the heating zone selection control that you wish to
switch off.
2. Turn the cooking zone off by touching the “-” and scrolling down to “0”,Make
sure the power display shows “0”, then shows “H”.
and then
3. For model HCI604TB3, you can also turn off the heating zone instantly by
selecting the cooking zone which you want to turn off then touch “-” and “+”
at the same time.
4.Turn the whole cooktop off by touching the
ON/OFF control.
5. Beware of hot surfaces
‘H’ will show which cooking zone is hot to touch. It will disappear when the
surface has cooled down to a safe temperature. It can also be used as an
energy saving function if you want to heat further pans, use the hotplate
that is still hot.
Using the Power Management
For model HCI604TB3
Using power management you can set the total power to 2.5kW/ 3.0kW/ 4.5kW/
6.5kW and 7.4kW. The default total power setting is the maximum power level.
Setting the total power level to fit your requirement
1. Make sure the cooktop is turned off.
Note: you can only set power management when the cooktop is turned off.
2.Touch the icon “Pause” and hold for 5 seconds. You can hear the buzzer beeps
one time.
3.After you hear the beep, touch “+” and “-” icon at the same time and hold for 3
second, the timer indicator will show flashing previous total power level, e.g.
‘2.5’. Touch and hold ” +” and ”-” for 1 second again to switch to other power
level, for example 3.0. When the power that you want is flashing, touch the icon
“Pause“ and hold for 5 seconds. The buzzer will beep 10 times. It means you
have finished the setting.
Note:
1. After step 2, you must touch the “+” and “-”within 3 seconds after you hear
the beep. Otherwise you will need to start again from step 2.
2. Once finish setting, wait till the end of 10 beeps. Do not touch any icon during
this period. Otherwise the setting will be invalid.
Power management Rules
If total power exceeds the limitation of 2.5kw, 3.0kw, 4.5kw, 6.5kw (depending
on which level you’ve set), you are not able to increase power stage of any zone.
If you increase it by touching ‘+’, the cooktop will beep 3 times and indicator will
show a flashing ‘Pn’. Thus you need to decrease power stage of other zones before
increasing the power of objective zone.
For model HCI905FTB3
• Cooking zones are grouped according to the two phases in the hob (see
illustration). Each phase has a maximum power loading of 3500 W. The function
divides the power between cooking zones connected to the same phase.
• Only Group b has this function. The function will activate when the total power
loading of the cooking zones exceeds 3500 W.
• The function decreases the power to the other cooking zones.
• When use 3 zones in group b at the same time, they can use level 7 as highest
power level at the same time. When only use 2 zones in group b at the same time,
they can use level 8 as highest power level at the same time. When only use 1
zone in group b, they can use Boost function as highest power level.
Using the Boost
Boost is the function that one zone rising to a larger power in one second and
lasting for 5 minutes. Thus you can get a more powerful and faster cooking.

one zone, first make sure that the other zone is working on/below power level 5.
Otherwise the boost function is unable to active. Another situation is it can set
boost function for both zone which in the same group when this group is in flex
function mode.
Specially for HCI604TB3, the boost function will have different limitation in each
group according to the Power Management of 2.5kW/ 3.0kW/ 4.5kW/ 6.5kW and
7.4kW that you choose.
The five zone model were devided into two groups, in group a, if use boost on one
zone, first make sure that the other zone is working on/below power level 5.
Another situation is it can set boost function for both zone in the same group when
this group is in flex function mode.In group b, you can only use Boost function for
one zone at a time. If you try to use the Boost for two zones at the same time, the
first zone which use Boost function will drop out of boost function.
Flex Zone
•This area can be used as a single zone or as two different zones, accordingly to
the cooking needs anytime.
•Flexible area is made of two independent inductors that can be controlled
separately. When working as a single zone, a cookware is moved from one zone
to the other one within the flexible area keeping the same power level of the
zone where the cookware originally was placed, and the part that is not covered
by cookware will not heat.
•Important: Make sure to place the cookwares centered on the single cooking
zone. In case of big pot, oval, rectangular and elongated pans make sure to

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 against the glass, and is
the same size as the cooking zone. Use pans whose diameter is as large as the
graphic of the zone selected. Using a pot a slightly wider energy will be used at its
maximum efficiency. If you use smaller pot efficiency could be less than expected.
Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
Always lift pans off the Induction hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.

Pan dimensions
The cooking zones are up to a limit, automatically adapted to the diameter of the
pan. However the bottom of this pan must have a minimum of diameter according
to the corespond cooking zone. To obtain the best efficiency of your hob, please
place the pan in the centre of the cooking zone.
The base diameter of induction cookware.
The above may vary according to the quality of the pan used.
Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly
if you’re using PowerBoost. At extremely high termperatures oil and fat
will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.
Cooking Tips
• When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting.
• Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by 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˚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 flourthickened 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 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.

Heat Settings
The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on several
factors, including your cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment
with the induction hob to find the settings that best suit you.
What?
How?
Important!
Everyday soiling on
glass (fingerprints,
marks, stains left by
food or non-sugary
spillovers on the
glass)
1. Switch the power to the
cooktop off.
2. Apply a cooktop cleaner
while the glass is still warm
(but not hot!)
3. Rinse and wipe dry with a
clean cloth or paper towel.
4. Switch the power to the
cooktop back on.
• When the power to the cooktop is
switched off, there will be no ‘hot
surface’ indication but the cooking
zone may still be hot! Take extreme
care.
• Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon
scourers and harsh/abrasive
cleaning agents may scratch the
glass. Always read the label to
check if your cleaner or scourer is
suitable.
• Never leave cleaning residue on the
cooktop: the glass may become
stained.
Boilovers, melts,
and hot sugary spills
on the glass
Remove these immediately
with a fish slice, palette knife or
razor blade scraper suitable for
Induction glass cooktops, but
beware of hot cooking zone
surfaces:
1. Switch the power to the
cooktop off at the wall.
2. Hold the blade or utensil at a
30° angle and scrape the
soiling or spill to a cool area
of the cooktop.
3. Clean the soiling or spill up
with a dish cloth or paper
towel.
4. Follow steps 2 to 4 for
‘Everydaysoiling on glass’
above.
• Remove stains left by melts and
sugary food or spillovers as soon
as possible. If left to cool on the
glass, they may be difficult to
remove or even permanently
damage the glass surface.
• Cut hazard: when the safety cover
is retracted, the blade in a scraper
is razor-sharp. Use with extreme
care and always store safely and
out of reach of children.
Spillovers on the
touch controls
1. Switch the power to the
cooktop off.
2. Soak up the spill
3. Wipe the touch control area
with a clean damp sponge or
cloth.
4. Wipe the area completely
dry with a paper towel.
5. Switch the power to the
cooktop back on.
• The cooktop may beep and turn
itself off, and the touch controls
may not function while there is
liquid on them. Make sure you wipe
the touch control area dry before
turning the cooktop back on.
