6 How to use the hob

General information on hob usage

General warnings

• Do not let any objects fall on the hob. Even small objects such as saltshakers may damage the hob. Do not use cracked hobs. Water may seep through these cracks and cause a short circuit. If the surface is damaged in any way (e.g. visible cracks), turn off the fuse first, then call the authorized service to unplug the product to reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use unbalanced and easily tilting pots/pans on the hob.
• Do not heat empty pots/pans. The pots and the appliance may be damaged. Always turn off the hob's burners after each use.
• You may damage the appliance if you operate the hobs without any pot or pots/pans. Always turn off the hobs after each operation. After each use, the cooking surface will be hot, so do not place plastic pots/pans on the cooking surface. Clean such material on the surface immediately.
• Sudden temperature changes on the glass cooking surface may cause damage. Be careful not to spill cold liquids during cooking.
• Put a sufficient amount of food in pots and pans. Thus, you can prevent food from pouring out of the pots/pans and will not need to clean unnecessarily.
• Do not place the covers of pots and pans on burners/zones.
• Place the pots by centering them on the burners/zones. If you wish to place a pot on a different burner/zone, do not slide it towards the desired burner; rather, lift it first and then put it on the other burner.

Operating principle of the induction hob

The induction hob is like an open circuit. The circuit completes when a cooking pot or pan suitable for induction cooking is placed on it, and an electronic system below the glass surface generates a magnetic field. The metal base of the pot or pan is heated by taking energy from this magnetic field. Thus, the heat is not generated on the surface of the hob, but directly on the pot or pan above it. The glass surface is heated with the heat of the cooking pot or pan.

Advantages of cooking with induction

Induction hobs offer some advantages as the heat is transferred directly to the cooking pots/pans.

• Foods that overflow during cooking do not burn rapidly as the glass cooking surface is not heated directly. It is cleaned more easily.
• Cooking shall be faster as the heat is generated directly on the cooking pots/pans. Thus, it saves time and energy with respect to other hob types.
• As the heat is given directly to the cooking pots/pans, there is no heat loss, and it provides more efficient cooking.
• The fact that the heat transfer stops and the cooking surface is not heated directly when the cooking pots/pans are removed from the cooking surface provides safer use against possible accidents while cooking.

For safe operation:

- Do not select high heating levels when using non-stick cooking pots/pans coated with little oil or used without oil (Teflon type).

- Do not use the glass cooking surface as a surface to place things on or as a cutting surface.

- Do not place metal objects such as cutlery or pot lids on your hob, as they may get hot.

- Never use aluminum foil for cooking. Never place food wrapped in aluminum foil on the induction zone.

- Keep magnetic objects such as credit cards or tapes away from the hob while it is operating.

- If there is an oven under your hob and it is being operated, the sensors on the hob may reduce the cooking level or turn off the hob.

- Your hob has an automatic shut-off system. Detailed information about this

system is provided in the following sections. However, if you use thin-based pots for cooking, these pots will heat up very quickly and the bottom of the pan may melt and damage the cooking surface and the appliance before the automatic shut-off system is activated.

Cooking pots/pans

You shall use ferromagnetic, quality cooking pots/pans that bear a label or warning indicating they are compatible for induction cooking only with your induction hob. Generally, the higher the iron content, the better the cooking pots/pans will perform. The base diameter of the cooking pots/pans shall match the induction zone. Suggested dimensions are listed below.

Suitable pots/pans:

• Cast iron pots/pans
• Enamelled steel pots/pans
• Steel and stainless steel pots/pans (with label or warning indicating that they are induction compatible)

Unsuitable pots/pans:

• Aluminium pots/pans • Copper pots/pans
• Brass pots/pans
• Glass pots/pans
• Pottery • Ceramic and porcelain

Recommendations:

- Use flat bottomed cooking pots/pans only. Do not use pots/pans with convex or concave bases.

- Use cooking pots/pans with thick, processed bases only. If you use thin based pots, these pots shall heat up very quickly and the bottom of the pan may melt and damage the cooking surface and the appliance before the automatic shut-off system is activated. Sharp edges may cause scratches on the surface.

• Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the same size as the cooking zone. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.

• Always lift pans off the Induction hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass

- The bases of some cooking pots/pans have a smaller ferromagnetic field than its true diameter. Only this area is heated by the hob. Therefore, the heat is not evenly distributed and the cooking performance is decreased. Moreover, such cooking pots/pans may not be detected by large induction hobs. Thus, the cooking hob shall be selected according to the size of the ferromagnetic field.

- Some cooking pots/pans have a base that contains non-ferromagnetic materials such as aluminium. These types of cooking pots/pans may not heat adequately or may not be detected by the induction hob at all. In some cases, a bad pots/pans warning may appear.

Equal distribution of the cookware on the right and left and center hobs for the selection of hobs affects the cooking performance positively while cooking multiple meals on the induction hobs.

Only use 180 mm diameter cookware for induction cooking.

energy at induction hobs, because the heat is only created in the relevant pot area.

Automatic detection of the cooking pots/pans

When you place any cooking pots/pans compatible with induction on your hob, your hob automatically detects which hob the cooking pots/pans is placed on and provides directions on the control panel.

Cooking pots/pans test

Test whether your pot is compatible with cooking with an induction hob using the methods below.

1. It is compatible if the base of your pot holds a magnet.
2. It is compatible if ☐ does not flash when you place your pot on the induction hob and turn on the hob.

If the display flashes alternately with the heat setting for induction hob

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 display will automatically turn off after 1 minute if no suitable pan is placed on it.

The detection of cooking pots/pans by the induction hobs depends on the diameter and material of the ferromagnetic in the base of the pots/pans. To ensure detection of the cooking pots/pans and achieve efficient cooking, the cooking pots/pans shall be selected as per the size of your hob. The cooking pots/pans sizes recommended for hob sizes are given above.

Boiling behavior may vary depending on the pot types, size of the pot and size of the cooking zone. For a more homogenous boiling behavior, a one step larger cooking zone might be used. To use a larger cooking zone does not cause wasting of

1. If you want to cancel the Boost during this 5 minutes, touch the heating zone selection button, an indicator next to the key will flash. And then touch the Boost button. The heating zone will go back to the power stage which was set before boost.

For zone 1 and zone 2, if you use boost on one zone, first make sure that the other zone is working on/below power level 5. When you select one zone and press 'boost' button, if

the other zone is working above power level 5, the "P" and "9" symbols will flash on the display of the selected zone and power level will be automatically set as 9.

Using the Timer

You can use the timer in two different ways:

a) You can use it as a minute minder. In this case, the timer will not turn any cooking zone off when the set time is up.

b) You can set it to turn one cooking zone off after the set time is up. You can set the timer up to 99 minutes.

Using the Timer as a Minute Minder If you are not selecting any cooking zone:

1. Make sure the cooktop is turned on. NOTE: you can use the minute minder even if you're not selecting any cooking zone.
2. Touch timer control, The minder indicator will start flashing and "30" will show in the timer display.

1. Set the time by touching the "-" or "+" control of the timer.

1. Buzzer will bips for 1 second and the timer indicator was disappears, meaning the timer finished.

Setting the timer to turn one cooking zone off:

1. Touching the heating zone selection control that you want to set the timer for. (e.g. zone 1#)

1. Touch timer control, The minder indicator will start flashing and "30" will show in the timer display.

1. Set the time by touching the control of the timer.

i Touch the "-" or "+" control of the timer once will decrease or increase by 1 minute. Touch and hold the "-" or "+" control of the timer will decrease or increase by 10 minutes. If the setting time exceeds 99 minutes, the timer will automatically return to 0 minute.

1. To cancel the timer, touch the heating zone selection control, and then touch the "Timer", the timer is cancelled, and the "00" will show in the minute display, and then "--".

1. When the time is set, it will begin to count down immediately. The display will show the remaining time and the timer indicator flash for 5 seconds.

The red dot next to the power level indicator will illuminate, indicating that the zone is selected.

1. When the cooking timer expires, the corresponding cooking zone will automatically switch off and show "H". Other cooking zones will keep operating if they were turned on previously.

Setting the timer to turn off more than one cooking zone

1. If more than one heating zone uses this function, the timer indicator will show the lowest time. (e.g., zone 1# setting time of 3 minutes, zone 2# setting time of 6 minutes, the timer indicator shows "3").

The flashing red dot next to the lower level indicator means the timer indicator is showing the time of the heating zone. If you want to check the set time of another heating zone, touch the heating zone selection control. The timer will indicate its set time.

1. When the cooking timer expires, the corresponding heating zone will automatically switch off and show "H".

If you want to change the time after the timer is set, you have to start from step 1.

7 General information about cooking

This section describes tips on preparing and cooking your food.

General warnings about cooking with hob

• Never fill the pan with oil more than one third of it. Do not leave the hob unattended when heating oil. Overheated oils bring risk of fire. Never attempt to extinguish a possible fire with water! When oil catches fire, cover it with a fire blanket or damp cloth. Turn off the hob if it is safe to do so and call the fire department.
• Before frying foods, always remove their excess water and put them inside the heated oil slowly. Make sure that frozen foods are defrosted before frying.
• When heating oil, make sure that the pot you use is dry and keep its lid open.
• For recommendations on cooking with power saving, refer to the "Environmental Instructions" section.
• The cooking temperature and time values given for foods may vary depending on the recipe and amount. For this reason, these values are given as ranges.

Cooking Tips

• When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting.
• Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
• Minimise 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. It 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 flavour some 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.

For stir-frying

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 cooking zone 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.

Cooling fan continues operating although the hob is turned off

- This is not a fault. The cooling fan will continue operating until the electronics in the hob cool down to a suitable temperature.

Noise from the cooker during cooking

Some sounds may be heard from the cooker while cooking. These sounds are due to the composition of the cooking vessel. These sounds are normal, they are not a malfunction, and they are a part of induction technology.

Possible noises and reasons

• Fan noise: The cooker is equipped with a fan that activates automatically according to the temperature of the appliance. The fan has various operating levels and operates at different levels as per the temperature.
• Lower buzz like the operating noise of a transformer: This is due to the nature of induction technology. As heat is transmitted directly to the base of the cooking vessel, such buzz sounds may be heard depending on the material of the cooking vessel. Thus, different noises may be heard with different cookware.
• Cracking noise: The reason for this is the structure and material of the base of the cooking vessel. A cracking sound may be heard if the cooking vessel is made of various layers with different materials.
• Whining noise: A whining sound may be heard when two cooking zones on the same side of the cooker are used to cook with different cooking levels.
