WARNING: The performance and safe operation of this induction cooktop critically depends on correct installation. This appliance must be installed according to the installation instructions on pages 6-7 of this booklet.
Safety Precautions
•Never leave cooking food unattended during use as overheated fat and oil may catch fire.
•The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm 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 fire, 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 fields 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:
1. Press the 
control to turn the cooktop on and off.
2. Press the element control corresponding to the position of the element.
3. Select a heat setting from 1-9 by pressing the + and
-
buttons.
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.
Why Induction Cooktops Are Different
Induction cooktops do not heat up like conventional electric elements.
Instead, they create a magnetic field 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 efficient way to transfer energy. This is also why cooking pans need to be made from ferritic steel based materials.
Advantages:
Efficiency: 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 fire or burning hazard.
Choose The Right Cookware
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.

Turning The Unit On
To turn the unit on, press the 
control. A ‘beep’ will sound. Near each element control there a 0 will appear to indicate the element is off and has no heat left in it, or a H, to indicate the element is still warm from the last time it was used. There will also be a dot next to each 0 or H.
To Turn An Element On
Once you turn the unit on, you have 10 seconds to activate an element before the unit switches itself off again. If the unit switches itself off in this time, a second ‘beep’ will sound.
• Touch the element control of your choice. You will find that this element is now the
only element with a dot near the 0. This shows it is selected, and any heat or time setting will apply to this element.
• Press the + and
-
buttons to select a heat setting anywhere from 1 to 9.
To Turn Another Element On
Repeat the same process. This time, the dot appears next to the element which you are setting.
To Turn An Element Off
Press the
-
button until the element heat setting is reduced to 0.
For rapid switch off, press the + and
-
buttons simultaneously.
Residual Heat Indicators: Even though the elements themselves do not generate heat, the surface may become hot since it is in contact with a hot saucepan. When the 
element is turned off, the element control reads H to indicate hot surface. This H will remain for a fixed length of time.
Boost Setting
