on pages 6-7 of this booklet.

Safety Precautions

Never leave cooking food unattended during use as overheated fat and oil may catch fi re.

•
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infi rm persons without supervision.

•
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

•
Always ensure that there is cookware with food or water on the cooking zone while the cooking zone is

•
on.

Ensure there is food or liquid in the cooking cookware while they are on the cooktop. Do not allow the

•
liquid to boil dry.

Do not use the cooktop as storage, benchtop or working space. The cooking zone controls may be

•
accidentally turned on, resulting in possible fi re, property damage and personal injury.

Don’t wear loose clothing while cooking, as garments may catch cookware handles.

•
Use dry cookware holders. Wet pot holders can build up steam. Do nut use towels or other large pieces

•
of cloth to pick up cooking cookware.

Do not allow cookware handles to hang over the edge of the cooktop as these can easily be knocked.

•
Your induction hob generates magnetic fi elds which may interfere with medical devices such as

•
pacemakers. While we can guarantee that the St George cooktop conforms with relevant regulations
to prevent interference, we cannot guarantee that any other device also conforms to such regulations.
You should consult the manufacturer of any pacemaker or other device to ensure that it conforms with
regulations regarding electromagnetic interference.

Do not leave ferritic steel cutlery or cookware on the glass surface. If a cooking zone is accidentally

•
turned on, these may become very hot without your knowledge and cause severe burns.

Quick Start Guide

Induction cooktops are easy and safe to use. Depending on your model, there will be 2, 3 or 4
separate heating elements, giving you a choice of power and size of the cooking zone.

Turning On And Off

Full details of the touch controls are given on pages 4-5 of this booklet.
To turn an element on:

Press the control to turn the cooktop on and off.

1.
Press the element control corresponding to the position of the element.

2.
Select a heat setting from 1-9 by pressing the + and

3.

While in operation, you will NOT notice any change in the cooking zone. Induction elements do not
glow red.

To turn the element off, press the

-

button until the element control displays 0.

-

buttons.

Why Induction Cooktops Are Different

Induction cooktops do not heat up like conventional electric elements.
Instead, they create a magnetic fi eld which causes electric currents to circulate in the bottom of the

pan. These currents cause the bottom of the pan to heat up. This is a much safer and more effi cient
way to transfer energy. This is also why cooking pans need to be made from ferritic steel based
materials.

Advantages:

Effi ciency: Uses far less energy
Comfort: The cooktop surface does not generate heat, thus keeping temperatures in the kitchen

lower
Control: You are not waiting for an element to heat up or cool down, so you see the results of a

setting change instantly.

Speed: Brings water to the boil faster than any other cooking method.
Safety: The cooktop does not generate heat, so presents much less of a fi re or burning hazard.

Cookware that you use must have a base made from a “ferritic” material (ie a material that attracts
a magnet). Below is a list of appropriate and inappropriate materials.

use these types of cookware

ferritic steel

•
cast iron

•
magnetic stainless steel

•
clad cookware (magnetic stainless steel on the

•
outside, aluminium or copper on the inside)

porcelain coated steel

•

Most cookware will state whether it can be used for induction cooking. Just in case, you should test
potential cookware with a fridge magnet to ensure the base is made from a magnetic material.

do not use these

glass, ceramic or pyrex

•
aluminium or copper

•
non-magnetic stainless

•
steel

Pans that are less than 10

•
cm in diameter
