To select the heat level with the slider, slide your finger on the power slider. For quick access, place your finger directly on the selected level.

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. We recommend to use cookware with maximum diameter of 360mm or less.

Suitable cookware material:

• ferromagnetic stainless-steel
• aluminiumwithferromagneticbottom
- cast iron
- steel
- enamelled steel

Unsuitable cookware material:

• aluminium without ferromagnetic bottom
• stainless-steel without ferromagnetic bottom
• copper
• brass
• glass
• ceramic porcelain

To check if cookware material is suitable, carry out a magnet test:

Move a magnet across the base of the pan. If the magnet is attracted, the pan is induction suitable. Ensure attraction is consistent across the base of the pan. If there are gaps, such as an indented manufacturer's logo, then the performance will be impaired.

If you do not have a magnet, fill the pan with some water in a pan and place it on the cooktop surface. Select the pan indicator icon and set at level 9. This water must heat in a few seconds. Refer to section 'Using your cooktop'.

Quickest heating performance

High content of ferromagnetic material. Heating area is consistent across the base and up the sides of pan.

Simple line drawing of a cylindrical object with a handle extending from its side (no text or symbols)

Average heating performance

Reduced area of ferromagnetic material. Reduced zone of heating, results in poor performance and slower heating.

Simple line drawing of a cylindrical object with a handle and a circular top (no text or symbols)

Slow heating performance

Very limited area of ferromagnetic material. Results in very slow heating performance.

Note: This type of pot is good for very delicate tasks such as melting chocolate, as heating is very slow.

Take care when frying: oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you're using PowerBoost. At extremely high temperatures, oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.

Cooking tips

• When food comes to 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.
• Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated through.

Simmering, cooking rice

• Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 85°C, when bubbles are just rising occasionally to the surface of the cooking liquid. This is the key to delicious soups and tender stews because the flavours develop without overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based and flour-thickened sauces below boiling point.
• Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a setting higher than the lowest setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time recommended.

Searing steak

To cook juicy flavoursome steaks:

① Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
② Heat up a heavy-based frying pan.
③ Brush both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and then lower the meat onto the hot pan.
④ Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the steak and how 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.
⑤ 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

When stir-frying be careful to lift the pan clear of the surface if tossing the ingredients. Sliding the pan across the cooktop surface may scratch it.

① Choose an induction compatible flat-based wok or a large frying pan.
② Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick. If cooking large quantities, cook the food in several smaller batches.
③ Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
④ Cook any meat first, put it aside and keep warm.
⑤ Stir-fry the vegetables. When they are hot but still crisp, turn the heat level to a lower setting, return the meat to the pan and add your sauce.
⑥ Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.
⑦ Serve immediately.

WHAT? HOW? IMPORTANT!
Everyday soiling on the glass (fingerprints, marks, stains left by food or non-sugary spillovers on the glass)	1 Switch off the cooktop before cleaning.2 Apply cooktop cleaner while the glass is still warm (but not hot).3 Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.	After the cooktop is switched off, there will be residual heat on the cooking surface. 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.Never leave cleaning residue on the cooktop: the glass may become stained.
Boilovers, melts, and hot sugary spills on the glass	1 Remove these immediately with a fish slice, palette knife or razor blade scraper suitable for ceramic glass cooktops, but beware of hot cooking surfaces.2 Hold the blade or utensil at a 30° angle and scrape the soiling or spill to a cool area of the cooktop.3 Clean the soiling or spill up with a dish cloth or paper towel.	Remove stains left by melts and sugary food or spillovers as soon as possible. If left to cool on the glass, they may be difficult to remove or even permanently damage the glass surface.Cut hazard: when the safety cover is retracted, the blade in a scraper is razor-sharp. Use with extreme care and always store safely and out of reach of children.
Spillover on the touchscreen	1 Soak up the spill.2 Wipe the touch control area with a clean damp sponge or cloth.3 Wipe the area completely dry with a paper towel.

• Thawing frozen foods in the refrigerator first
  • Using a moderate setting to conserve energy
  • Using the correct sized pot
  • Using a pressure cooker
• Cutting food into smaller pieces – this will reduce cooking time
• Use a steamer or a pan with a divider to cook different vegetables at the same time
• Using a cover when boiling water to reduce the time it takes to get to the boil.
• Simmering liquid cooked foods instead of boiling vigorously
• Keeping pot lids on to reduce heat loss.
