A Word on Induction Cooking Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology. 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 run.

• The controls respond to touch, so you don't need to apply any pressure.

• Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.

• You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.

• Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g. a utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate.

• Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan.

• You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test. Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction.

• If you do not have a magnet:

1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.

2. Follow the steps under ‘ To start cooking’.

• Cookware made by the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminum or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware. Size of burner (diameter/mm)

• The pots and pans must be placed precisely in the middle of the cooking area.

• In some cooking areas an internal diameter is indicated,with a lighter outline, which advises the user to go to a smaller cooking area, ifavailable,with smaller diameter pan. This is to obtain optimum performance and efficiency. You can however use pans with smaller diameters than this limit. EN-27The 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. What？ How？ Important!

Unsuitable, abrasive scourer or cleaning products being used.

Use cookware with flat and smooth bases. See ‘Choosing the right cookware’. See ‘Maintenance 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. The induction hob makes a low humming noise when used on a high heat setting. This is caused by the technology of induction cooking. This is normal, but the noise should quieten down or disappear completely when you decrease the heat setting. TROUBLESHOOTING

EN-30Fan noise coming from the induction hob. A cooling fan built into your induction hob has come on to prevent the electronics from overheating. It may continue to run even after you’ve turned the induction hob off. This is normal and needs no action. Do not switch the power to the induction hob off at the wall while the fan is running. Pans do not become hot and appear 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 centered on it. Use cookware suitable for induction cooking. See section ‘Choosing the right cookware’. Centre the pan and make sure that its base matches the size of the cooking zone. The induction hob or a cooking zone has turned itself off unexpectedly, a tone sounds or an error code is displayed. Technical fault. Please note down the letters and numbers, switch the power to the induction hob off at the wall, and contact a qualified technician.
