It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the pan, rather than indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because the pan eventually warms it up.

• Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.

• Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction hob. WORKING THEORY

Take care when frying as the 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.

• When food comes to the 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 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. To cook juicy flavorsome 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.

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.

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 induction hob to find the settings that best suit you. When an unsuitable size or non-magnetic pan (e.g. aluminium), or some other small item (e.g. knife, fork, key) has been left on the hob, the hob automatically go on to standby in 1 minute. The fan will keep cooking down the induction hob for a further 1 minute. HEAT SETTINGS Heat setting Suitability 1-2

• delicate warming for small amounts of food

• melting chocolate, butter, and foods that burn quickly

• cooking rice 5-6 • pancakes 7-8

• bringing soup to the boil

PRODUCT INSTALLATION Cut out the work surface according to the sizes shown in the drawing. For the purpose of installation and use, a minimum of 5 cm space shall be preserved around the hole. Be sure the thickness of the work surface is at least 30mm. Please select heat-resistant and insulated work surface material (Wood and similar fibrous or hygroscopic material shall not be used as work surface material unless impregnated) to avoid the electrical shock and larger deformation caused by the heat radiation from the hotplate. As shown below: NOTE : The safety distance between the sides of the hob and the inner surfaces of the worktop should be at least 3mm.

SELECTION OF INSTALLATION EQUIPMENT

In order to avoid accidental touch with the overheating bottom of the hob, or getting unexpectable electric shock during working, it is necessary to put a wooden insert, fixed by screws, at a minimum distance of 50mm from the bottom of the hob. Follow the requirements below.

• The work surface is square and level, and no structural members interfere with space requirements.

• The work surface is made of a heat-resistant and insulated material.

• If the hob is installed above an oven, the oven has a built-in cooling fan.

• The installation will comply with all clearance requirements and applicable standards and regulations.

• A suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power supply is incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and positioned to comply with the local wiring rules and regulations.

• The isolating switch must be of an approved type and provide a 3 mm air gap contact separation in all poles (or in all active [phase] conductors if the local wiring rules allow for this variation of the requirements).

• The isolating switch will be easily accessible to the customer with the hob installed.

• You consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding installation.

• You use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the wall surfaces surrounding the hob. There are ventilation holes around outside of the hob. YOU MUST ensure these holes are not blocked by the worktop when you put the hob into position.

• Be aware that the glue that join the plastic or wooden material to the furniture, has to resist to temperature not below 150°C, to avoid the unstuck of the paneling.

• The rear wall, adjacent and surrounding surfaces must therefore be able to withstand an temperature of 90°C.

This is normal for cookware and does not indicate a fault. The induction hob makes a low humming noise when used on a high heat setting. Ce bruit est lié à la technologie de cuisson par induction. This is normal, but the noise should quieten down or disappear completely when you decrease the heat setting. Fan noise coming from the induction hob. Un ventilateur intégré s’est activé pour empêcher la surchauffe des composants électroniques. Ce ventilateur peut continuer à fonctionner même après l’extinction de la plaque. This is normal and needs no action. Do not the wall while the fan is running. Pans do not become hot and appears in the display. The induction hob cannot detect the pan because it is not suitable for induction cooking. The induction hob cannot detect the pan because it is too small for the cooking zone or not properly centred on it. Use cookware suitable for induction cooking. See section ‘Choosing the right cookware’. Centre the pan and make sure that its base match- es the size of the cooking zone. The induction hob or a cooking zone has turned itself off unexpectedly, a tone sounds and an error code is displayed (typically alternating with one or two digits in the cooking timer display). Technical fault. Please note down the error letters and numbers, switch the power to the induction hob off at the wall, and contact a qualified technician.64 The induction hob is equipped with a self diagnostic function. With this test the technician is able to check the function of several components without disassembling or dismounting the hob from the working surface. Failure code Problem Solution
