When the hob has been operating for some time, there
will be some residual heat. The letter “H” appears in power
setting indicator to warn you to keep away from it.
It can also be used as an energy saving function:
if you want to heat further pans, use the hotplate that is still hot.
Auto Shutdown
Another safety feature of the hob is auto shutdown. This occurs whenever you forget to switch off a
cooking zone. The default shutdown times as below table:
Power level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Default working timer (hour) 8 8 8 4 4 4 2 2 2
Over-heat Protection
A temperature sensor equipped can monitor the temperature inside the hob. When an excessive
temperature is monitored, the hob will auto stop operation.
Over-flow Protection
For your safety, the programmer will auto shut off the power if liquid boiling or wet cloth over touch
control panel. All control buttons became invalid except ON/OFF and Child Lock button, unless you
wipe the touch control area dry.
Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up quickly, particularly if you are using Booster function.
At extremely high temperature oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a risk of fire.
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.
• Minimize 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 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.
