Introduction Your new appliance is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only applicable if the appliance has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this booklet. To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this booklet carefully. The appliance is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other installation.
Safety Information When used properly your appliance is completely safe but as with any electrical product there are certain precautions that must be observed. PLEASE READ THE PRECAUTIONS BELOW BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE. Always ● Remove all packing from the appliance before switching on for the first time. ● Take time to understand the controls prior to using the appliance. ● Always turn controls off when not in use.
Safety Information Never ● Never leave children unsupervised where a cooking appliance is installed as all surfaces will be hot during and even after its use. ● Never allow anyone to sit or stand on any part of the appliance. ● Never store items above the appliance that children may attempt to reach. ● Never leave anything on the hob surface when unattended and not in use. ● Never heat up unopened food containers as pressure can build up causing the container to burst.
Induction Cooking Unlike conventional heating zones, an induction heating zone does not heat the glass surface. The cooking vessel itself is the heating element. Heat is produced directly in the pan, provided it is made of ferromagnetic material, ie. iron or steel. Your induction hob offers a number of advantages: Performance The heating zones on the hob are powered separately, meaning that you can use them all at the same time, at their maximum rated output, if required.
Choice of Utensils Every Electric Hob deserves the right choice of utensils. We recommend for optimum performance the use of good quality utensils. PANS SHOULD NOT: Always ✓ ● Use good quality flat-based cookware on all electric heat sources. Never ✗ ● Use gauze, metal pan diffusers, asbestos mats and stands e.g. Wok stands – they can cause overheating. ● Ensure pans have clean, dry bases before use. Use pans with ● Use utensils with skirts or rims e.g. buckets and some kettles.
Choice of Utensils Because induction takes place only when a metal cooking vessel closes the magnetic field, the generation of heat stops immediately when the cooking vessel is taken off the heating zone. You must use cooking vessels that are compatible with induction (ie. made from ferromagnetic materials). Cast iron, enamelled steel and special stainless steel for induction are compatible. Copper, ceramic, earthenware, glass, aluminium and non-magnetic stainless steel are NOT compatible with induction.
Choice of Utensils THE BEST COMBINATIONS This table is a general guide to the types of pan suitable for different types of hobs and cookers. Remember pans should be good quality, with smooth, flat bases. For any further information refer to manufacturers’ instructions. Saucepan Types Suitability Aluminium ✗ Stainless steel with single layer copper base ✗ Stainless steel with sandwich bases of aluminium and stainless or aluminium and copper.
