INTRODUCTION TO INDUCTION HOB COOKING
Induction cooking uses an electromagnetic coil to converts energy into heat. When the Hob is turned n, and an induction-suitable pan is placed on top, a magnetic field is generated which will heat the pan and cook the food.IMPORTANT: Only use flat-bottomed, induction suitable pans that are compatible with this Hob.TIP: If you are unsure whether the cookware you have is suitable for use with this appliance, test by holding a magnet to the base of the pan; if you find that the magnet sticks, the pan can be used on this Hob.IMPORTANT: This Induction Hob is only suitable for pans with a diameter of 12-26cm.CAUTION: Metal cooking utensils are not recommended since they can be heated through the Induction Hob if left in the pan during cooking.
NOTE: If the cookware is unsuitable for use, the Hob will show “E0” on the LED Display.NOTE: If the wrong sized pan is used, the Hob will show “E0” on the LED Display.

OPERATION
- Place the Induction Hob on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface.
- Sit induction-compatible cookware onto the CERAMIC PLATE, ensuring it is positioned in the center for even heat distribution. IMPORTANT: The Induction Hob is suitable for stainless steel, enamel, and cast iron cookware with a diameter of 12cm-26cm. Do not use pots or pans made from aluminum, copper, or aluminum alloy. Pans must have a smooth, flat base.
- Add your food to the pan before placing the pan on the Hob.WARNING! The pan, with food inside, should be placed on the Induction Hob before the appliance is turned on.WARNING! Do not place any empty cookware onto the CERAMIC PLATE. Heating an empty pot or pan will activate the overheating protection and the appliance will turn off.WARNING! Keep metal or magnetic-sensitive items away from the Hob’s magnetic field.
- Plug the Induction Hob into a suitable mains socket. The appliance will beep and the fans will turn on. Press and hold the ON/ OFF BUTTON to turn on the appliance. The indicator light above the button will illuminate.
- Press the FUNCTION BUTTON once; the LED DISPLAY will show ‘1300’ (left side) ‘1000’ (right side) and the ‘Power’ INDICATOR LIGHT will illuminate. This is the default power setting.

Again, this can be increased or decreased by pressing the ( ) or ( ) buttons (60ºC- 240ºC).NOTE: The power or temperature settings can be altered at any time during operation by pressing the FUNCTION BUTTON and choosing the desired function.
- Once the cooking process is complete, do not disconnect the appliance from the mains until the cooling fan has stopped.CAUTION: When removing cookware from the Induction Hob, ensure you lift rather than slide across the CERAMIC PLATE to avoid damaging the surface.CAUTION: The Hob will remain hot for some time after the removal of a pan. Always allow cooling before touching or cleaning.NOTE: The cooling fan will remain on after use in order to cool internal parts which become hot during operation. This is not a fault with the appliance. Do not unplug the appliance during the cooling process The fan will stop running after a few minutes.
) buttons. Alternatively, you can press the MAX or MIN BUTTON to automatically adjust to the max or minimum power settings.HINTS & TIPS
It will take a few attempts at cooking with your Induction Hob to get used to how quickly and efficiently it works and to adapt your cooking times accordingly.The first few times you use the Induction Hob, it may seem to cook very quickly. For the first few uses, don’t use the timer, stay with your food so that you can alter the heat if required.Because the Induction Hob is so efficient, you may also want to start with a lower cooking temperature than you usually would and increase gradually if necessary.CAUTION: Even though the Induction Hob may not appear hot, do not touch the appliance until completely cool as it may remain hot for some time after cooking.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Always disconnect the appliance from the mains before carrying out cleaning or maintenance.
- Wipe down the CERAMIC PLATE with a damp cloth and mild detergent.CAUTION: Do not use abrasive cleaning products such as scouring pads to clean the CERAMIC PLATES as this will damage the surface.WARNING! Never immerse the Induction Hob or power cord in water or any other liquid.
- Dry thoroughly before storing in a cool, dry place with the power cord loosely coiled.
