Saving Energy
Induction cooktops are very energy efficient. However, you can reduce unnecessary
energy wastage even further by following a few common sense cooking methods:
• Once a liquid begins to boil, it is advisable to turn the element down. Rapidly
boiling water does not cook food any faster than water which is boiling just
above a simmer.
• Use a lid while cooking to retain heat inside the pot.
• Use minimal water or oil to reduce heat up time.
Induction Cooking Cookware Tips
• Induction cooktops work most efficiently when the cookware is close to or exactly
the same size as the cooking zone. The size of the cooking zone is marked by a
white ring etched on the glass. In particular,
• The pot should not overhang the zone by more than 25mm.
• The pot should cover at least 60% of the zone for it to work.
If the element is on with either no pot or a pot which is too small, the
display will flash with the“E1” symbol.
Pans less than 12cm in diameter should not be used.
• The base of the cookware should be flat so that it sits securely on the heating
zone. It should not be curved up or down.
• Heavy gauge stainless steel and cast iron give the best cooking performance.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
This cooktop is easy to clean and maintain. The smooth surface of the glass helps
to prevent dirt build up.
To Prevent Cooktop Scratching
• Make sure the bottom of all cookware is clean and dry before using. Make sure
the cooktop surface is clean and dry before using. Do not allow aluminium foil
(including foil containers) to come into contact with the glass while the unit is on.
Cookware with sharp, damaged or jagged edges may scratch the glassware.
