OPERATING YOUR COOKTOP Choose the Right Cookware (Induction Models) • • • Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan. You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test. Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction hob. If you do not have a magnet: 1. Put some water in the pan you want to check. 2.
Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the same size as the cooking zone. If you use smaller pot efficiency could be less than expected. Always center your pan on the cooking zone. Always lift pans off the hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass. Note: You can use any kind of pot or pan for Ceramic Hobs. Suggested Pan dimensions for induction hob The cooking zones are, up to a limit, automatically adapted to the diameter of the pan.
Using the Touch Controls • The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure. Use the ball of your finger, not its tip. • You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered. • Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g. a utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate.
NOTES: 1. When the cooktop is in Standby mode, and no button is pressed for one minute, the cooktop will beep once, then automatically turn off. 2. The default power level setting is level 5. 3. The heat setting indicator of the selected zone will flash when the level is being adjusted or set. 4. After adjusting, the heat setting number will flash for 5 seconds then stop flashing. At this time, the setting will be confirmed. To Turn Off the Cooktop 1.
NOTE: A hot surface indicator will glow when any radiant element is turned on and will remain on until the surface is cooled to a safe temperature to touch. To Turn off the Cooktop Be sure you turn the control knob to Off when you finish cooking. It will snap into the Off position.
• • Adjust the power of the dual zone by adjusting the control knob to anywhere between symbol and the midpoint of the dial. To deactivate the dual zone, turn the control knob past the midpoint to the left, toward the symbol to either use the single cooking zone or turn the cooking zone off. Note: You may feel a slight bump when it is rotated through the midpoint or OFF positions. Using Keep Warm Zone (Ceramic Cooktop) • • • • A separate Keep Warm cooking area is available on some ceramic cooktops.
2) Touch the Booster function control button , and the heating zone indicator will show “b” and flash for 5 seconds. The booster function is now active. Notes: 1. When using booster function, if the other cooking zone in vertical direction is also activated at a power level higher than 2, programmer will automatically turn power of the other zone down to 2. 2. After booster function ceases, the other active cooking zone will return to the original power setting.
To Unlock the Controls 1. Make sure the electric cooktop is turned on. 2. Touch and hold the Child Lock control button for 3 seconds, the buzzer beeps once and “Lo” disappears in the timer indicator. The Child Lock is now inactive. You can now start using your electric cooktop. Under the child lock mode, all controls button be disable except the ON/OFF button and child lock button.
Using the Timer Note: Timer function is for touch/slider control models only. Minute display shows the number of minutes Timer control When the cooktop is turned on, you can use the timer in two different ways: • You can use it as a “minute minder” alert, which can be set for up to 99 minutes. In this case, the timer will not turn any cooking zone off when the set time is up. • You can set it to turn one or more cooking zones off.
NOTE: By continuously touching the timer control button, the slider works in this sequence: “Single Digit-Tens Digit -Confirm Setting-Single Digit-…” When the minute minder is set, it will begin to count down immediately and show the remaining time in the display. The buzzer will beep for 30 seconds and the timer indicator display shows “- “ when the set time is finished. Press any button to stop the buzzer from beeping.
NOTES: • The red dot next to the power level indicator will illuminate for those zones set with a timer. • After adjusting, the setting in timer indicator will flashing for 5 seconds and then stop flashing, then the setting be confirmed. • The default setting of minute reminder and timer is 30 minutes. • If more than one heating zone has a timer set, the timer indicator will show the lowest time remaining. The red dot next to power level indicator will flash.
Auto Shutdown Another safety feature for touch/slider control cooktop is auto shutdown. This occurs whenever you forget to switch off a cooking zone. The default shutdown times as below table: Power level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Default working timer (hour) 8 8 8 4 4 4 2 2 2 Overheat Protection A temperature sensor inside the cooktop monitors its internal temperature. When an excessive temperature is detected, the cooktop will automatically turn off.
Simmering Simmering occurs below the boiling point, at around 85˚C (185˚F), when bubbles are rising occasionally to the surface of the cooking liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and tender stews because flavors develop without overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based and flour thickened sauces below the boiling point.
Heat Settings The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on factors including your cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment with the cooktop to find the settings that best suit you.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE CAUTION: Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from ELECTRICITY supply and ensure the appliances is completely cool. Cleaning the Cooktop Surface • • • Clean spillages from the cooktop surface as soon as possible after use. Always ensure the surface is cool enough before cleaning. Use a soft cloth or kitchen paper to clean the surface.
Notes: • When turning off the power supply of cooktop, there will be no ‘hot surface’ indication, but the cooking zone may still be hot! Take extreme care. • Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon scourers, and harsh/abrasive cleaning agents may scratch the glass. Always read the label to check if your cleaner or scourer is suitable.
