COOKWARE The quality of your cookware can affect cooking performance. Only use induction-compatible cookware that has been specifically designed for induction cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or the bottom of the pan. Suitable cookware material: z z z z z stainless steel – with a magnetic base or core aluminium and copper – with a magnetic base or core cast iron steel enamelled steel.
USING YOUR COOKTOP To start cooking 1 2 Touch and hold the COOKTOP On/Off control until you hear a beep. An indicator light above the control will glow. Touch COOKING ZONE On/Off control of the cooking zone you wish to use. The indicator light above the control will glow. Place a suitable pan on the cooking zone. 3 Make sure the bottom of the pan and the surface of the cooking zone are clean and dry. Always place small pans in the centre of the cooking zone.
USING YOUR INDUCTION COOKTOP If a display flashes alternately with the heat setting This means that: ● ● ● you have not placed a pan on the correct cooking zone or the pan you’re using is not suitable for induction cooking or the pan is too small or not properly centred on the cooking zone. No heating takes place unless there is a suitable pan on the cooking zone. The cooktop will automatically turn off after 10 minutes if no suitable pan is placed on it.
USING THE TIMER Using the timer You may use the timer in two different ways: 1 You can use it as a minute minder, even when not using the cooktop. 2 You can use it to set individual timers for multiple cooking zones that are in use. You can set the timer for up to 1 hour and 59 minutes. The time will be displayed in hours and minutes when the timer is set for longer than 10 minutes.
USING THE TIMER Using the cooking zone after you have a set the minute minder If you start using a cooking zone after you have set the minute minder, the minute minder will continue to count down. Setting the minute minder when you are using one or more cooking zones 1 To set the minute minder when the cooking zone(s) are already being used, repeatedly tap the MINUS and PLUS controls of the timer together to cycle through the individual timers for the cooking zones until the egg timer glows. 0.
USING THE TIMER Setting the timer for individual cooking zones 1 Make sure the cooking zone(s) you want to set the timer for are in use. 2 Tap the MINUS and PLUS controls of the timer together until the indicator of the desired cooking zone comes on. Set the time. 3 Note: only indicators of cooking zones in use will show as you scroll through.
USING THE TIMER You can set different times for each of the cooking zones. Setting the minute minder when other timers are set 1 Repeatedly tap the MINUS and PLUS controls of the timer together as you cycle through the individual timers for the cooking zones until the egg timer glows. 0.00 will steadily show in the minute display. 2 Touch the MINUS and PLUS controls to set the timer. It will then countdown.

The indicator light above the control comes on, indicating that the controls are locked. To unlock the cooktop, touch and hold the keylock control for 3 seconds.
SMARTZONE Using SmartZones (CI365PTX model only) The SmartZones are large and can accommodate several small pots. These small pots will be detected as one large pot. The entire SmartZone is activated when a pot is detected. This means that other magnetic items (such as cutlery) sitting in the cooking zone will heat up. Do not leave cutlery or other magnetic items on your cooktop.
BRIDGING ZONES Using Bridging Zones (CI365PTX SmartZone model only) z z z The bridging zone function allows you to use two SmartZones together giving you a larger cooking area. Your pan(s) will need to cover both cooking zones. There may be a cooler area in the centre of the cooktop between the cooking zones. You may need to move food around the pan to ensure even cooking. When using bridging zones it is not possible to use the PowerBoost function.
BRIDGING ZONES 3 If no pan is detected on either cooking zone the left hand zone display will alternate between the selected setting and . The right hand selector will show . If no pan is detected on one cooking zone: The left hand display will still show the selected temperature and the right hand display will still show . If after 10 minutes no pan is detected: ● ● ● the bridging function will switch off. the cooking zone without a detectable pan will turn off.
POWERBOOST Using PowerBoost This feature enables you to sear meat or bring liquid to boil very quickly. When a cooking zone is set for PowerBoost, it uses more than 100% of the power of that particular cooking zone, resulting in a boost of intense heat. PowerBoost heats food and liquids very quickly. Do not leave the cooktop unattended when using this feature. Setting a cooking zone for PowerBoost 1 Touch or slide the setting selector to set the cooktop to the highest heat level (9).
POWERBOOST Note: You can set two (CI304PTX) or three (CI365PTX) cooking zones for PowerBoost, as long as one is not behind the other. The following are zones that can operate in powerboost mode simultaneously without reduced power level. Other combination not shown below will result in reduced power.
POWERBOOST CI304PTX model z z If one cooking zone is set to PowerBoost and you accidentally also set a second cooking zone immediately in front or behind to PowerBoost, the first cooking zone will warn you that the configuration is not possible, flash P and then automatically reduce its power level. When a cooking zone is set for PowerBoost, the cooking zone immediately in front of or behind may automatically reduce its power level.
GENTLEHEAT Using the GentleHeat feature There are two GentleHeat settings. z z The Medium setting is ideal for keeping cooked food warm and the gentle warming of delicate foods. The Low setting is ideal for the most delicate cooking tasks (such as melting chocolate), as the cooking zone will provide a very low continuous gentle heat. Setting up a cooking zone for GentleHeat For Medium setting 1 With the cooking zone turned on, touch the GentleHeat setting on the setting selector.
AUTO RAPIDHEAT Using Auto RapidHeat This feature enables the cooking zones to: z z heat up food or liquid quickly at the highest setting, and reduce the temperature automatically to a pre-selected heat setting. The amount of time the cooking zone will rapidly heat depends on the selected heat setting.
AUTO RAPIDHEAT 3 Initially, while the cooking zone is at the highest setting, A will flash alternately with your selected lower setting. The length of time at the highest setting depends on the selected lower heat setting. 4 Then, when the period of highest setting is over, A will stop flashing and the cooking zone will automatically reduce the heat to your pre-selected lower setting.
COOKING GUIDELINES Take care when frying: oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using PowerBoost. At extremely high termperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk. Cooking tips z z z z When food comes to the boil, 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.
COOKING GUIDELINES 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 cooktop to find the settings that best suit you.
CARE AND CLEANING WHAT? HOW? Everyday soiling on glass (fingerprints, marks, stains left by food or non-sugary spillovers on the glass) 1 Switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall. 2 Apply cooktop cleaner to a clean lint-free cloth and rub gently while the glass 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 at the wall.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO The cooktop cannot be turned on. No power. Make sure the cooktop is connected to the power supply and that it is switched on at the wall. Check whether there is a power outage in your home or area. If you’ve checked everything and the problem persists, call your Authorized Service Centre or Customer Care. The touch controls are unresponsive. The controls are locked. Unlock the controls. See section 'Safety features' for instructions.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO Some pans make crackling or clicking noises. This may be caused by the construction of your cookware (layers of different metals vibrating differently). This is normal for induction cookware and does not indicate a fault. The cooktop makes a low humming noise when used on a high heat setting (especially PowerBoost). This is caused by the technology of induction cooking.
TROUBLESHOOTING 34 PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO Condensation is forming on surrounding walls, cabinetry or your overhead rangehood. This is a normal for induction cooking. Energy efficient technology means that no heat is lost to surrounding surfaces. This results in condensation forming on these cooler surfaces when steam is produced by cooking. This is normal for induction cooking and does not indicate a fault. To minimise condensation: z Ensure adequate ventilation when cooking.
