Frequently Asked Questions - CI6SE3 ARC

How do I know if my pans are compatible with induction cooking?

Check if the pan has an induction symbol on the bottom or perform a magnet test: if a magnet sticks to the base, it is suitable. Avoid pure stainless steel, aluminum, copper, glass, or ceramic pans.

What should I do if the cooktop displays an error code like E4 or E5?

Error codes E4/E5 indicate a temperature sensor failure. Please contact our Customer Care team at 1800 444 357 or [e-mail] for assistance.

How do I activate the Boost function?

Select the desired cooking zone, then press the boost key (Ⓡ) until the power level shows 'P'. The boost lasts for 5 minutes, after which the zone automatically returns to level 9.

Can I use the timer to turn off a cooking zone automatically?

Yes, select the zone, press the timer key, set the desired time (up to 99 minutes), and confirm. The zone will switch off when the timer expires. You can also use the timer as a minute minder without turning off the zone.

How do I lock the controls to prevent accidental operation?

Touch the keylock control (☑) until the timer display shows 'Lo'. To unlock, touch and hold the same key for 3 seconds. The ON/OFF button remains active even when locked.

What does the 'H' symbol mean on the display?

The 'H' indicates that the cooking zone is still hot (residual heat). Avoid touching the zone until 'H' disappears, which means it has cooled to a safe temperature.

Why does my cooktop make a humming noise at high heat?

A low humming sound is normal for induction cooktops due to the technology. It may be more noticeable at high heat settings but should quieten down when you lower the power.

How should I clean stubborn spills on the glass surface?

First, switch off the power. Use a ceramic glass scraper at a 30° angle to scrape off spills while the glass is still warm (but not hot). Then clean with a dedicated cooktop cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive scourers.

What are the minimum installation clearances required?

A minimum of 50mm space around the cutout opening, at least 760mm clearance above the cooktop to cabinets, and at least 650mm to a rangehood. A thermal barrier must be fitted if installed above a drawer.

The cooktop does not turn on. What should I check?

Ensure the cooktop is properly connected to the power supply and the isolating switch is on. Check for a power outage. If the problem persists, contact a qualified technician or our Customer Care team.

What is 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 up. NOTE: Cookware for Induction cooktops, due to the nature of the technology, need to have magnetic properties in order to work. Refer to ‘Choosing the right cookware’ for details about this.

Before using your new Cooktop

• Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
• Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction cooktop.
• DO NOT use the cooktop if cracked or damaged in any way.

Using the Touch Controls

• The controls respond to touch, so you don't need to apply any pressure.
• Use the ball of your finger, not its tip. See illustration.
• 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.

Choosing the right cookware

• 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:

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

• Follow the steps under 'To start cooking'.

• If U does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.

- 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.

Cooking Guidelines

Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you are using Boost. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.

Cooking Tips

• When food comes to the boil, reduce the power 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^ , 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 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 a 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.

Heat Settings

NOTE: The below table is a guide ONLY for heat setting selections and could vary based on the power and size of the individual cooking zones. We suggest to use a heat setting initially and increase or decrease settings based on your personal preferences. If this is your first experience with an Induction cooktop you may notice a big difference from your previous cootop fuel type.
