Induction introduction
Induction hobs only heat the pan rather than the cooking surface heating up like a
standard electric hob. They do this by creating a magnetic field between the pan
base and an element underneath the glass top; this makes induction hobs safer
and cheaper to run as they use only the precise amount of energy you need.
Because induction hobs create a magnetic field, pans need to either be made from
a magnet metal such as cast iron or steel, or have a magnetic base. You can check
whether your existing 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 then you can put some water in the pan
you want to check, if the symbol does not flash in the cooking zone
indicator and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
If your current cookware isn’t suitable, then when purchasing new cookware you
must ensure the packaging says they are compatible with induction hobs or that
they pass the magnetic test detailed above. Please note cookware made from the
following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminum or copper
without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.
Note:
• Because of the powerful electromagnetic field, induction may not be suitable
if you have a pacemaker fitted
• The glass of an induction hob only becomes hot because the pan eventually
warms it up

Pans & Energy Saving
• 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:
• Put some water in the pan you want to check.
• Follow the steps under ‘To start cooking’.
• 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
The following advice is to prevent damage to pans and help you save energy:

Cooking guidelines:
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 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
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.
30
Page 31
Usage
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.
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.

Cleaning and Maintenance:
Important notes:
• The appliance will become hot during operation, allow the appliance to cool
down before cleaning.
• Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
• Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.
• Follow all instructions and warnings included with the cleaning agents.
How to clean
Observe the information below to ensure the surfaces are not damaged by using
the wrong type of cleaning agent. Do not use:
• Harsh or abrasive cleaning agents,
• Cleaning agents with a high concentration of alcohol,
• Hard scouring pads or sponges,
• High-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
• After each use, clean the surface of each zone once they have cooled down. If
any residue is left (baked-on food, drops of grease etc.), however little, it will
become stuck to the surface and more difficult to remove later.
• Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt: you will save yourself any
unnecessary effort.
• Do not leave acidic liquids (e.g. lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the hob.
• Where possible, do not allow salt to come into contact with the surface of the
