Cooking Guidelines Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using PowerBoost. At extremely high termperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk. Cooking Tips

• When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting. EN-10• 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 flourthickened 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. For stir-frying

1. Choose an ceramic 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.

EN-11Heat Settings The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on several factors, including your cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment with the cooktop to find the settings that best suit you. Heat setting Suitability

• delicate warming for small amounts of food

• melting chocolate, butter, and foods that burn quickly

• bringing soup to the boil

Care and Cleaning What? How? Important! Everyday soiling on glass (fingerprints, marks, stains left by food or non-sugary spillovers on the glass)

1. Switch the power to the

2. Apply a cooktop cleaner while

the glass is still warm (but not hot!)

3. Rinse and wipe dry with a

clean cloth or paper towel.

4. Switch the power to the

• When the power to the cooktop is switched off, 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.

• Never leave cleaning residue on the cooktop: the glass may become stained. EN-12Boilovers, melts, and hot sugary spills on the glass Remove these immediately with a fish slice, palette knife or razor blade scraper suitable for ceramic glass cooktops, but beware of hot cooking zone surfaces:

1. Switch the power to the

cooktop off at the wall.

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.

4. Follow steps 2 to 4 for

‘Everyday soiling on glass’ above.

• 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. Spillovers on the touch controls

1. Switch the power to the

3. Wipe the touch control area

with a clean damp sponge or cloth.

4. Wipe the area completely dry

5. Switch the power to the

• The cooktop may beep and turn itself off, and the touch controls may not function while there is liquid on them. Make sure you wipe the touch control area dry before turning the cooktop back on.

Unsuitable, abrasive scourer or cleaning products being used. Use cookware with flat and smooth bases. See ‘Choosing the right cookware’. See ‘Care and cleaning’. Some pans make crackling or clicking noises. This may be caused by the construction of your cookware (layers of different metals vibrating differently). This is normal for cookware and does not indicate a fault.
