Introduction
21
Introducing your cooktop
Congratulations on your new purchase. Your induction cooktop is the ultimate in induction
cooking, giving you the speed, precision, and simplicity of electronic control, and the easy-care
elegance of a ceramic glass surface. For more information, visit our local website listed on the
back cover.
A word on induction cooking
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology. It works by
electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the pan, rather than indirectly through
heating the glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because the pan eventually warms it up.
This technology has a number of advantages over traditional radiant energy cooking:
Heat-up times are much faster.
Use is safer as no heating takes place unless a suitable pan is placed on the cooking zone.
As heat is transferred without loss, you save energy.
Before using your new cooktop
Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety and warnings’ section.
Make sure the cooktop is clean and free from any debris. Wipe with a clean damp cloth if
necessary.
Using the 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 there is no object (eg a utensil or a cloth)
covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate.
