Before using your New Electric Hob
• Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’section.
• Remove any protective lm that may still be on your electric hob.
Choosing the Right Cookware
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits at against the surface, and is the same size as the cooking
zone. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
Always lift pans o the electric hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the surface.

Cooking Guidelines
Cooking Tips
• When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature 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˚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 avours develop without
overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based and our 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 avoursome 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 rmer 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. Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick. If cooking large quantities, cook
the food in several smaller batches.
2. Preheat the pan briey and add two tablespoons of oil.
3. Cook any meat rst, put it aside and keep warm.
4. 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.
5. Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.
6. Serve immediately.
Take care when frying as oil and fat heat up very quickly. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat will
ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious re risk.

Cleaning and Maintenance
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 electric hob to nd the settings that best suit you.
What? How? Important!
Everyday soiling on
surface
(ngerprints, marks,
stains left by food or
non-sugary spillovers
on the surface)
1. Switch the power to the electric
hob o.
2. Apply an electric hob cleaner while
the electric hob is still warm (but
not hot!)
3. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean
cloth or paper towel.
• When the power to the electric hob
is switched o, there will be no‘hot
surface’ indication but the cooking
zone may still be hot!
Take extreme care.
• Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon
scourers and harsh/abrasive cleaning
agents may scratch the surface. Always
read the label to check if your cleaner
or scourer is suitable.
• Never leave cleaning residue on the
electric hob: the surface may become
stained.
Spillovers on the power
regulating controls
1. Switch the power to the electric
hob o.
2. Soak up the spill
3. Wipe the power regulating control
area with a clean damp sponge or
cloth.
4. Wipe the area completely dry with a
paper towel.
• Make sure you wipe the power
regulating control area dry before
turning the electric hob back on.
