o A beep will sound each time a touch is registered. o You should make sure that the touch controls are always clean and dry and that there is no object, such as utensils or cloths, covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate.
o You are able to adjust the power level at any time during cooking. Power level settings o The settings below are to be used as a guideline only. The exact setting required will depend on several factors, including your cookware and the amount of food that you are cooking.
o You can then turn the whole hob off by pressing the ON/OFF button (1). Residual heat indicator o After a zone is switched off, the display will show the letter “H”. This means that the temperature of the indicated zone is still high enough to cause injury.
Using the timer as a minute minder It is possible to use the minute minder, even if you are not turning on a cooking zone. o Touch the timer button (4) and the timer display will show “- -“. o Use the time regulation buttons (2) to set the required countdown time.
Setting the timer to turn one cooking zone off You are able to link the timer to a cooking zone so after the countdown time is complete, the cooking zone will turn off automatically. o Press the relevant cooking zone selection button (3) for the zone that you wish to link a countdown time to.
o When the countdown is complete, the corresponding zone will turn off automatically. IMPORTANT: When the countdown is complete, if the other cooking zone is in use, it will continue to heat. You will need to turn the other cooking zone off manually. High temperature protection o A temperature sensor in the hob can monitor the temperature inside of the hob.
Cooking tips o IMPORTANT: Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk. o When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting. o Using a lid on pans will reduce the cooking times and save energy by retaining heat.
o Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the steak and how well 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”...
