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.
o You are able to adjust the power level at any time during cooking. 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 You can then turn the whole hob off by pressing the ON/OFF button (1). 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.
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.
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 Minimise the amount of liquid or fat used in the cooking process to reduce cooking times.
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 Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax and become tender before serving. Stir-frying o Choose a suitable flat-based wok or a large frying pan.
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. o If these rules are not followed, then there will be a great loss of heat and energy.
