Control panel 1 2 3 4 5 = = = = = ON / OFF button Power / time regulation buttons Cooking zone selection buttons Timer button Safety lock button Using the ceramic hob Before first use IMPORTANT: You should clean the ceramic hob surface (see “Cleaning and maintenance” section). o You should switch on one cooking zone at a time, for 5 minutes at the maximum setting. This will help to eliminate any new smell that exists and evaporate any humidity that has formed on the heating elements during transit.
o A beep will sound each time a touch is registered. o You should make sure that the touch controls are always clean and dry and that there is no object, such as utensils or cloths, covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate. Cooking on a zone o After powering on the appliance a buzzer will sound once and all the indicator lights will come on for 1 second and then go out. This indicates that the hob has entered stand-by mode.
Power level settings o The settings below are to be used as a guideline only. The exact setting required will depend on several factors, including your cookware and the amount of food that you are cooking. o You should experiment with the induction hob power levels to find the best settings to suit you. Power setting 1–2 3–4 5–6 7–8 9 Suggested use o Delicate warming for small amounts of food. o Melting chocolate, butter and foods that burn quickly. o Gentle simmering. o Slow warming. o Reheating.
Residual heat indicator o After a zone is switched off, the display will show the letter “H”. This means that the temperature of the indicated zone is still high enough to cause injury. o When the temperature falls to a safe temperature, then the letter “H” will go out. o The residual heat can also be used to continue heating pans on the cooking zone that is still hot to save energy. o IMPORTANT: The residual heat indicator will disappear if your mains supply is cut.
Using the timer as a minute minder It is possible to use the minute minder, even if you are not turning on a cooking zone. o Touch the timer button (4) and the timer display will show “- -“. o Use the time regulation buttons (2) to set the required countdown time. The minute minder indicator will start flashing and will show in the timer display. The maximum time that can be set is 99 minutes. o Each press of the plus or minus button will increase or decrease the time by 1 minute.
Setting the timer to turn one cooking zone off You are able to link the timer to a cooking zone so after the countdown time is complete, the cooking zone will turn off automatically. o Press the relevant cooking zone selection button (3) for the zone that you wish to link a countdown time to. o Touch the timer button (4) and the timer display will show “10”. o Use the desired countdown time using the time regulation buttons (2).
o When the countdown is complete, the corresponding zone will turn off automatically. IMPORTANT: When the countdown is complete, if the other cooking zone is in use, it will continue to heat. You will need to turn the other cooking zone off manually. High temperature protection o A temperature sensor in the hob can monitor the temperature inside of the hob. When an excessively high temperature is detected, the hob will turn off automatically.
o Always lift pans off the ceramic hob, do not slide them as they could scratch the glass. Cooking tips o IMPORTANT: Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk. o When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting. o Using a lid on pans will reduce the cooking times and save energy by retaining heat.
o Heat up a heavy-based frying pan. Brush both sides of the steak with oil and drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and then lower the meat into the hot pan. o Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the steak and how well 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.
o You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can scratch the ceramic surface. o Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are clean and dry. o When cold, the bottom of the pans should be slightly concave, as they expand when hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This will allow the heat to transfer more easily. o The best thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2 – 3 mm of enamelled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich type bottoms.
Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning operations must only be carried out when the hob is cool. The appliance should be disconnected from your mains supply before commencing any cleaning process. Cleaning the ceramic hob top Any residues that are left on the hob top surface from cleaning agents will damage it. You should remove any residues with warm water mixed with a little washing up liquid.
Using a ceramic hob scraper Your appliance will be provided with a hob scraper. The following guidelines should also be followed when using the ceramic hob scraper:- o The scraper should be placed on the ceramic surface at an angle. o Residues should be removed by sliding the blade carefully over the ceramic surface. o The ceramic surface should be wiped with a damp cloth that has been placed in warm water mixed with a small amount of washing up liquid.
Installation The installation must be carried out by a suitably qualified person, in accordance with the current version of the following. o AS/NZS 3000: 2007 Wiring Regulations o 2010 Electricity Safety Regulations Positioning The adjacent furniture must be able to withstand a minimum temperature rise of 85°C above the ambient temperature of the room it is located in, during periods of use.

o Place the long screw into the fixing hole on the outer edge of the bracket but do not fully tighten. o Carefully turn the hob back over and then gently lower it into the aperture hole that you have cut out. o When the hob is correctly positioned, tighten the long screws to fix the hob securely in the aperture hole.
