3. OPERATION OF PRODUCT
3.1 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.
10
3.2 CHOOSING THE RIGHT COOKWARE
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. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
Always lift pans off the ceramic hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
English
3.3 HOW TO USE
3.3.1 Start cooking
After power on, the buzzer beeps once, all the indicators light up for 1 second
then go out, indicating that the ceramic hob has entered the stat of standby mode.
Touch the zone that you wish to use.
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.
Select a heat setting by touching the “-” or “+” control.
• If you don’t choose a heat setting within 1minute, the ceramic
hob will automatically switch off. You will need to start again at
step 1.
• You can modify the heat setting at any time during cooking.
• By holding down either of these buttons, the value will adjust
up or down.
3.3.2 Finish cooking
Turn the cooking zone off by scrolling
down to “ - ” or touching “-” and “+”
or
control together.
Turn the cooking off by touching the
ON/OFF control.
11English
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.
3.3.3 Locking the Controls
• You can lock the controls to prevent unintended use (for example children
accidentally turning the cooking zones on).
• When the controls are locked, all the controls except the ON/OFF control are
disabled.
12
To lock the controls
Touch the keylock control.
The indicator next to the keylock
will light up.
To unlock the controls
Make sure the ceramic hob is turned on.
Touch and hold the lock control for a while.
3.3.4 Over-Temperature Protection
A temperature sensor equipped can monitor the temperature inside the ceramic
hob. When an excessive temperature is monitored, the ceramic hob will stop operation
automatically.
3.3.5 Residual Heat Warning
When the hob has been operating for some time, there will be some residual heat.
English
The letter “ H ”appears to warn you to keep away from it.
3.3.6 Default working times
Another safety feature of the hob is automatic shutdown. This occurs whenever
you forget to switch off a cooking zone. The default shutdown times are shown in the
table below:
Power level123456789
Default working timer (hour)888444222
4. COOKING GUIDELINES
Take care when frying as the 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.
13English
4.1 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.
• 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.
4.1.1 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.
4.1.2 Searing steak
To cook juicy flavorsome 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.
14
4.1.3 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.
English
5. 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 Ceramic hob to find the settings that best suit you.

6. CARE AND CLEANING
What?How?Important!
15English
Everyday soiling on
glass (fingerprints,
marks, stains left by
food or non-sugary
spillovers on the
glass)
Boilovers, melts, and
hot sugary spills 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.
Remove these immediately with
a fish slice, palette knife or razor
blade scraper suitable for Ceramic
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 ‘Everyday
soiling on glass’ above.
• 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.
• 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.
