Always keep combustible materials, e.g. curtains, and flammable liquids a safe distance away from your cooker. Fig.1-1 DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of the cooker nn while it is on. Cooking high moisture content foods can create a ‘steam burst’ when an oven door is opened (Fig.1-1). When opening an oven stand well back and allow any steam to disperse. ArtNo.324-0001 Steam burst Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp gloves might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface.
Hob Care Fig.1-3 NEVER cook directly on the hob surface (Fig.1-2). nn DO NOT use the hob surface as a cutting board. nn Do not leave utensils, foodstuffs or combustible items on the hob when it is not is use (e.g. tea towels, frying pans containing oil). DO NOT place plastic or aluminium foil, or plastic nn containers, on the hob. DO NOT leave the hob zones switched on unless nn being used for cooking.

2. Cooker Overview DocNo.020-0006 - Overview - 100DF - Prof+ Fig.2-1 A B C E D F Your induction cooker (Fig.2-1) has the following features: Fig.2-2 A. B. C. D. E. F. 5 induction cooking zones A control panel A glide-out grill A multi-function oven A slow cook oven A fan oven The Hob Use only pans that are suitable for induction hobs. We recommend stainless steel, enamelled steel pans or cast iron pans with enamelled bases.
Never use a round-bottomed wok, even with a stand. Fig.2-4 The very best pans have bases that are very slightly curved up when cold (Fig.2-3). If you hold a ruler across the bottom you will see a small gap in the middle. When they heat up the metal expands and lies flat on the cooking surface. Max: 1.85 kW Boost: 2.5 kW Max: 1.85 kW Boost: 3.0 kW Max: 1.85 kW Boost: 2.5 kW Make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry to prevent any residue burning onto the hob panel.

It allows rapid heating up of the element to bring the selected cooking zone up to temperature. Once the zone is at the required cooking temperature the power level will reduce automatically to the preset level.
Low Temperature Setting, L1/L2 • • Fig.2-8 A & B linked Each cooking area is equipped with 2 low temperature settings: L1 will maintain a temperature of about 40 °C – ideal for gently melting butter or chocolate. L2 will maintain a temperature of about 90 °C – ideal for simmering (bring the pan to the boil and then select L2 to keep soups, sauces, stews, etc at an optimal simmer). A B D The maximum time this setting can be used is 2 hours.
The Glide-out Grill Fig.2-9 Caution: This appliance is for cooking purposes nn only. It must not be used for other purposes, for example room heating. Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the grill nn is in use. Young children should be kept away. Open the door and pull the grill pan carriage forward using the handle (Fig.2-9). The grill has two elements that allow either the whole area of the pan to be heated or just the right-hand half. To heat the whole grill, turn the knob clockwise (Fig.2-10).
The Ovens Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for baking on several shelves at one time and is a good ‘all-round’ function. It may be necessary to reduce the temperature by approximately 10 °C for recipes previously cooked in a conventional oven. The clock must be set to the time of day before the lefthand oven will work. See the following section on ‘The Clock’ for instructions on setting the time of day.
Base Heat The Fan Oven This function uses the base element only. It will crisp up your pizza or quiche base or finish off cooking the base of a pastry case on a lower shelf. It is also a gentle heat, good for slow cooking of casseroles in the middle of the oven or for plate warming. The right-hand oven is a fan oven that circulates hot air continuously, which means faster, more even cooking. The recommended cooking temperatures for a fan oven are generally lower than a conventional oven.
Operating the Ovens Fig.2-12 Fan Oven Turn the oven knob to the desired temperature (Fig.2-12). The oven indicator light will glow until the oven has reached the temperature selected. It will then cycle on and off during cooking. Multi-function Oven The multi-function oven has two controls: a function selector and a temperature setting knob (Fig.2-13). Turn the function selector control to a cooking function. Turn the oven temperature knob to the temperature required (Fig.2-14). Fig.
