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.
Cooking Tips
• When food comes to boiling point, 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.
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
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.
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.

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 nonsugary spill overs on
the glass)
1. Switch the power to the cooktop off.
2. Apply a cooktop cleaner while theglass 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.
Boil overs, 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 ‘Everyday soiling on glass’
above.
• Remove stains left by melts and sugary
food or spill overs 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 razorsharp. Use with extreme care and always
store safely and out of reach of children.
Spill overs 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.
